Reading
8 Read the text. Match headings A–G with paragraphs 1–5. There are two extra headings.

Colour and you

1 ___
Did you know that different people see colours differently? Some people, called tetrachromats,
can see more colours than most people. Others, called bichromats, see fewer colours. This is
important because colours can make you feel − and behave – differently, too.
2 ___
If a boy in your class comes to school tomorrow in pink jeans, you’ll be surprised. And you
probably won’t be having your next lesson in a red classroom. But how we feel about colour
depends on who we are and where we are born. In many cultures, people traditionally dress
little girls in pink, and little boys in blue. So when we grow up, men and women like or hate
these colours. And red walls aren’t popular in Europe because red means ‘danger’. But in
China, red means ‘good luck’.
3 ___
Artists know that paintings with warm reds and yellows sell better than pictures with cold
greens and blues because warm colours make us feel excited. They may also wake us up, so
if you put a big red picture in your bedroom, you probably won’t sleep well! Blue might be a
cool colour, but it helps us to relax. And yellow often makes people feel happier. It could also
help people to get better more quickly, so hospital walls often have warm, yellow pictures.
4 ___
What football shirt will you be wearing to the next match? In a recent documentary, scientists
showed that players in red football shirts felt more confident, and played better than players in
blue shirts. Professional sports people also gave more points to players in red!
5 ___
Not all animals can see colour, but people, monkeys and birds can see it well. This may be
because people − and these animals − eat fruit. Fruit like oranges and bananas are green
when they are small. When they change colour, our eyes tell us they are ready to eat. So next
time you eat a tasty orange, think how lucky you are to see the colour orange!

A Colour and success

B Colour in the natural world
C How light makes colours
D Do you see what I see?
E Colours and your health
F Colours can change your feelings
G What different colours mean
