四、阅读理解
We live in the world full of colours. Does a colour have weight? If you say "no"，you are wrong. If you don't believe，you may do an experiment.
First，put two objects（物品）with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third，wrap（包裹）one box with a red piece of paper，and the other with a white piece of paper. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man's mind. So he did many tests and at last he found that every colour has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest colour is red，then blue，green，orange，yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength（波长），and it reaches our brain（脑）through sense organs（器官）.
According to this discovery，scientists say that people accept the colours they like，and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you'll be nervous or even get ill. For example，if you stay in a room with red windows，wallpapers and furniture for two hours，you'll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue，you'll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example，if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room，his body temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colours.
（ ）1. The first three paragraphs tell us that _______.
A. the two boxes have the same weight
B. colours can change the weight of an object
C. the red paper is heavier than the white paper
D. different colours have different weight in people's mind
（ ）2. Why did the scientist think that colours have smell?
A. Because we can smell colours with our nose.
B. Because every colour has its own sweet smell.
C. Because people can sense the light of colours.
D. Because every colour can give off light of the same length.
（ ）3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People may get ill if they refuse the colours they don't like.
B. People can stay longer in blue rooms than in red rooms.
C. In people's mind，red colour is heavier than white colour.
D. People's body temperature will change with different colours.
（ ）4. The passage is probably _______.
A. a short novel
B. a news report
C. a science report
