　　Passage 1
　　The fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us understand our feeling about color. If they sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it.
　　Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings（包装），that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that etics（化妆品）should never be packed in brown. Their discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology（心理学）。Some of our preferences（偏爱）for colors are clearly psychological. Dare is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with , while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people’s mind. People in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure; red is exciting. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a ing color. Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a close study shows that a bright yellow can produore basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.

　　Passage 2
　　The Bedouin people think most highly of people who show loyalty. To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to one’s family and tribe（部落）。
　　The Bedouin people take pride in their ancestors（祖先）。They do not admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who es from an honored family. They particularly respect those who have received a good name from their ancestors and then have passed it on to their children.
　　A man’s position among the black-tent people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen. If they are honored, he is also honored. If they are disgraced, he too is disgraced. Therefore one carefully guards the honor of his family, his lineage（血统），and his tribe.
　　A man can protect his family’s honor by being brave and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family.
　　A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even if a woman only looks as if she has done wrong, she may be killed. The honor of her family depends upon her virtue（美德）。
　　64.It can be inferred from the passage that a Bedouin man will feel disgraced if he____.
