 D

 B

 G

 A

 E

【解析】

試題分析：

 .D 根據下一句Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist（悲觀者）說明喜歡灰色系的人是悲觀主義者；那么喜歡這些亮的顏色的人很可能是樂觀主義者。故D項符合上下文。

 B 根據下段內容說明人們對顏色的偏愛是天生的，是生來就有的，后天無法培養出來。故B項解釋符合上下文。

 .G 根據下文黃色能讓人感覺更興奮更放松，說明顏色可以影響我們的情緒。故G項符合上下文。

 A 根據下文的例子泰晤士河上的黑顏色的橋過去常常是人們自殺的地方。說明黑色代表著壓抑。故A正確。

 .E 根據下面的例子機器被粉刷成橙色而不是黑色或者灰色，說明淡的顏色會讓人感覺更開心更積極。
