Sophia felt more confident about her day after reading about her star sign. She always
followed the advice the newspaper recommended for her sign: Virgo. One morning, it said:“Be
careful not to answer any phone calls you get this week, or you could miss a great opportunity
(机会)!”“I think I am patient enough not to answer the phone for a week,” thought Sophia.
Twenty minutes later, Sophia’s mobile phone rang. It was the company that she worked for. They
were calling to tell her that she needed to go into the office early that day, but Sophia didn’t
answer the phone. When she arrived at work, her boss was angry that Sophia was four hours late.
Her boss became even angrier when he noticed that she didn’t answer the phone all day. When
the same thing happened the next day, Sophia’s boss became impatient and told her to go home!
During the rest of the week, Sophia didn’t answer any phone call. She missed 20 phone calls on
Sunday and felt sad that she didn’t speak to anyone on her birthday. On Monday morning,
Sophia rushed downstairs to read her star sign’s advice for the week. She felt very silly after
reading an apology(道歉) for a mistake the newspaper made last week. Virgo’s advice should
have been :“Be careful to answer any phone calls you get this week”. “Not” was put in by
mistake!

Most people have a favourite colour, but how people feel about colours can depend on their
culture. This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world.
They might choose a colour because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country
that same colour could be used to give a sad message.
Look at these examples:
If you ask someone in Britain what the right colour is for a bride(新娘) to wear, the answer
will be white. In China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red because the colour red
is a sign of good luck, and happiness. Red is an unusual colour for a British bride to wear.
In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger. Road signs are often in red. In eastern cultures the
colour red does not mean you have to be careful.
In Egypt, yellow is the colour linked to death. In Britain and other western cultures death is
linked to the colour black, but in many eastern countries white is the colour most people link to
death.
In Britain, green is used in traffic signals to tell people that it is safe to go. Green is often
seen as a lucky colour but wearing green at weddings in unlucky. In some cultures green is
linked to cheating and envy.
Many people like the colour orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers will
not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are
cheap and perhaps not of good quality.
40. Why are colours important to people who sell products all over the world?
A. Because they must know different products should have different colours.
B. Because people in different countries like different coloured products.
