READING 20 points (5 questions, 4 points each one) (S11)

Read the article and select the best answer for the questions 25-30. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.

Different Colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen. In her new series ‘Colour me
Healthy’, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even
change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are.
‘Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?’ says Verity. ‘Our toothpaste is
always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not? For some reason, we think that blue and white is clean,
while we think of green products as being a bit disgusting. It’s the same for businesses. We respect a company which
writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design new products can
use these ideas to influence what we buy.’
During this four-part series, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each programme. She meets people
who work in all aspects of the colour industry, from people who design food packets, to people who name the colours of
lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to support their ideas, such as the
American ‘Colour Doctor’ who believes that serious diseases can be cured by the use of coloured lights. However, she also
interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results.
Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity
is going out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the series, it’s up to the viewers to make their own decisions
about how much they should believe. Online Source: https://www.examenglish.com/PET/pet_reading4.html
