________.

　　A．weakness　 B．pride

　　C．danger　 D．shame

　　【答案】　A　推理判断题。根据第四段中的"when an athlete sees a competitor in a red uniform，he gets a feeling that his competitor could be stronger than him.And that kind of feeling may have a bad influence on the player's performance in the actual game."分析可知，当运动员看到穿红色制服的竞争对手，他觉得他的竞争对手可能会比他强。这种感觉(别人比他强大，而自己相对弱小的感觉)可能在真正的比赛中对选手造成不良影响。分析选项可知A符合题意，故选A。

　　4．What is most people's opinion to the scientists' idea?

　　A．Interested.　 B．Satisfied.　

　　C．Doubtful.　 D．Thankful.

　　【答案】　C　推理判断题。分析最后一段的内容可知，虽然这个想法很有趣，大多数人却不接受在动物世界中的颜色信号真的在人类体育中有用。他们认为基于这样一个小的例子得出的观点是不合理的，还必须做更多的研究来证明颜色影响运动员的表现。由此可知是持怀疑态度的，故选C。
