七、阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题(第1题2分,第2题2分,第3题3分,共7分)
“We see colours everywhere; we use them a lot and sometimes our life may be changed because of them.” That's according to Verity Allen. In a new programme “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 feelings 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 (牙膏) is usually white or blue. It's seldom green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white are clean, while we think of green products (产品) as being a bit unpleasant. 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.”
There are also some other interesting facts about colours in our life. We use red, yellow and green as the traffic lights because they are most easily seen. The environment protection colour is usually “green” because it lets us think of the green trees, grasses and mountains.
1. What's Verity's opinion (观点) about colours according to Paragraph 1?
2. What colour is our toothpaste?
3. What else do you know about the use of colours in daily life? Please give an example.

最近你的好友威廉在学习和生活中遇到了许多问题。请运用色彩疗法,给他提一些建议。
Dear John,
How are you? I'm writing to tell you that as a Grade 9 student, I've met many problems.
I always feel stressed because of too much schoolwork. Also, I can't sleep well at night. The red walls in my room make me feel uncomfortable. And I'm always in fear that I can't get good marks in exams. What can I do? Can you give me some suggestions?
William
Dear William,
You told me that you had some problems with your study and life. I'd like to give you some advice.

Dear William,

If you always feel stressed, I advise you to wear blue or white. They will make you feel relaxed. If you can't sleep well at night, you'd better paint the walls of your bedroom blue, as sleeping in a blue room will bring peace to both your mind and body. If you can't get good marks in exams, I think it's good for you to use yellow pens. Yellow is the colour of wisdom. Some people prefer this colour when they hope for success.
I'm sure you will feel much better if you follow my advice.
John
