    　　What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者), a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement．Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead．If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined．You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful．At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings．They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up．If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly．

    　　A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day．On the other hand, black is depressing．Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active．It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray．

    　　Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things．Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike．And don’t forget that anyone can guess about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade．

    解析：

    (1)

    形式为推断题，实为语意题。文章第一段末尾说明了人对颜色的喜爱从出生就确定了。该题不仅考查对第一段的理解，还检测是否了解“be born with sth．”这一短语，意思是“出生就具有的”。

    (2)

    词义题。“strong-minded”和 “determined”都有意志坚定的意思，与C项相符；A和B项颜色说明性格，而非性格决定颜色；D项文中没有提到粉红色。

    (3)

    细节题，见第一段。科学家不仅发现对颜色的喜好和人的性格有关，还发现颜色对人的情绪也有影响。

    (4)

    是非题，属细节判断。要找到正确选项，第二段第三句有叙述；A项文中没有说夏天穿红色不对；C项把机器漆成橙色只是假设；D项文章没有描述。

    (5)

    主旨题。主要内容在短文前已有介绍，涉及A、B、C三项的所有内容。
