F次の英文について、設間に答えなさい。
Color can afect human mood. We have known this for a long time. Ancient Egyptians and
Chinese used difterent colors to help sick people. No one really knows (①) worked or not. But
we can see today that people still think that the effect of colors is imp0rtant. The simplest example is
②the way people choose colore for their rooms. Another example is the color ®( choose ) for
Company products. We als0 consider the color of clothes very carefully when we decide © what we
should buy..
Many people believe that red has a high energy level. They feel that it is connected to speed,
danger, excitement, and passion. It is a good ® (choose) for a fast car, but not so good for a doctor's
oice. In that kind of place, a soft blue is thought to be better. Blue is a color that seems to help
people to relax, Green also helps people to feel calm. In contrast to this, yellow creates feelings of
happiness and cheer, and it ia often used in kitchens and bathrooms.
But nothing is really quite so simple. Research shows that some people get angry more quickly
in a yellow room. Babies seem to cry more, too. And even a soft blue, which is usually relaxing,
can also make 8ome people have sad feelings. Finally, it is important to remember that the effects of
color on human mood don't. always last a long time. In fact, the effect isusually relatively short.
For example, a soft blue room may help people feel calm at first, but the efect disappears fairly soon.
