Research suggests that over the years, we have learnt to recognize various colours as a warning. If a primitive man cut his hand and saw his blood, the red colour truly represented danger-it told him to do something about it or he could die. On the other hand, blue or green colour has a sort of healing. effect and helps people reduce their stresses. But the same person 7 would not eat meat if it was blue or green- something tells us that green or blue meat is bad. This is an experiment you can try for yourself with food colouring. Try serving a meal to your friends with the potatoes or rice coloured blue. You know that the food is harmless. but your guests will probably not eat it. And when they refuse the food, they are using a universal ability that humans have developed over thousands or years. 1.Which of the following summarizes the extract appropriately?

• A. Our colour prejudice
• B. Colour use in our culture
• C. Our fear for colours
• D. Colour and collar

90 . Read the poem and answer the questions Behold her, single in the field, You solitray Highland Lass! Reaping and singing by herself; Stop here, or gently pass  Alone she cuts and binds the grain,  And sings a melancholy strain; O listen! for the Vale profound Is overflowing with the sound.   No Nightingale did ever chaunt More welcome notes to weary bands Of travellers in some shady haunt, Among Arabian sands: A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird, Breaking the silence of the seas Among the fatherst Hebrides.   Will no one tell me what she sings? Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow For old, unhappy, far-off things, And battles long ago: Or is it some more humble lay, Familiar matter of to-day? Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain, That has been, and may be again?   Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending;  I listened, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.   1.What are the two of the possibilities that the speaker imagines about the song of the girl?

• A. the blisters on her hands and the ache in her back
