We all associate colors with feeling and attitudes. In politics dark blue often means "tradition", and red means "social change". But blue can also mean sadness (I'm feeling blue), white is often for purity, although in China white is worn at weddings and black for funerals. Advertisers are aware of the importance of selecting colors according to the way people react to them. Soap powders come in white and light blue packets (clean and cold, like ice); cereals often come in brown packets (like wheat fields), but cosmetics never come in brown jars (dirty?).
Where do these ideas come from? Max Luscher from the University of Geneva believes that in the beginning life was dictated by two factors beyond our control: night and day. Night brought passivity, and a general slowing down of metabolism; day brought with it the possibility of action, and increase in the metabolic rate, thus providing us with energy and initiative. Dark blue, therefore, is the color of quiet and passivity, bright yellow, the color of hope and activity.
In prehistoric times, activity as a rule took one of two forms: either we were hunting and attacking, or we were being hunted and defending ourselves against attack. Attack is universally represented by the color red; self-preservation by its complement green.
In Luscher's view, the association of colors with feeling and attitudes can be traced back to ______.

A. the association of day and night with passivity and action in ancient time
B. the association of black with funerals in western Europe
C. the association of white with purity in some countries
D. the association of red with joy in China

Imagine a world in which children would be the rulers and could decide not only the outcome of each and every occurrence, but also dictate the very structure and form. of the environment. In this world, a child's wildest thoughts would become reality limited only by the extent of his or her imagination. While such a world might sound both fantastic and frightening, at least from a logical, adult perspective, it does exist. What's more, it has been in existence for some time and is populated by hundreds of thousands of children who spend hours within its boundaries experimenting and learning. This world is not real, at least not in the traditional sense, but exists within a computer and is generated by an educational programming language called LOGO. Unlike other computer languages and programs that are designed to test children and provide applications that formally dispense information, LOGO allows children, even preschool children to be in total control. Children teach the computer to think and as a result develop and sharpen their own reasoning abilities.
LOGO is ______.

A. an education testing program
B. a computer language
C. an information dispenser
D. an unreal world

During the Progressive Movement, women began to play an increasingly active role in American politics. Women had long been interested in reform. movements, but the number of women active in political affairs had been very limited. Now the educated, middle class woman began to grow tired of the passive role that men had assigned to her. Her own interests as a mother were brought into play by her concern over the education and welfare of her children, the city in which they lived, and such municipal facilities as play grounds, schools and parks. Her interests as a consumer were alerted by political struggles over tariffs, taxes, monopolies, and dishonesty in government. But more important than her interests were her sympathies, for she was shocked by the almost daily revelation about the terrible working conditions in the mills and mines of the country and the crowded conditions in which poor people lived in cities. Women began to develop their own heroines of charitable activity, like Jane Adams, the founder of the famous social settlement at Hull House in Chicago; and also to feel more strongly about their own political rights. Believing that they were far better equipped than men to introduce into politics the note of honesty and human concern that America seemed to need so badly, women in increasing numbers began to demand the right to vote. By 1914 they had that right in eleven states, and their efforts were crowned with final success in the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in 1920.
It can be inferred from the passage that, before the Progressive Movement, educated women of the middle class were expected to ______.

A. stay out of politics
B. vote on municipal issues only
C. pay a tax in order to vote
D. improve conditions in mills and mines
