M Mr Brown lived in a house less than two miles from his office. He was able to drive home every day for lunch. Every time he drove home in the middle of the day, he found that oars were parked on the road outside his house and there was no room for his own. He had to drive two hundred meters more before he could find a place to park his oar. Then he had to walk back home. This made him very angry. Then, he set up a board in the garden facing the road. It had two words "No Parking" on it, but nobody seemed to notice (注 意) it. If it was a blue board with the words "Police Notice: No Parking", no car would be parked in front of his house. So, Mrs Brown suggested that he make one like the police notice (告示). Mr Brown said he was not the police and couldn’t use the word "police". But he decided he must find a way out and started thinking hard. Several days passed. Then one evening, he showed his wife a new blue board with the words "Polite Notice: No Parking" on it. "Oh!" Mrs Brown said. "You told me you weren’t going to use the word "police", but this is just like a police notice." "Is it" Mr Brown asked. "Look again." Mrs Brown started to laugh. "You are really very clever.\ Why did people still park their cars in front of his house even after Mr Brown put up a board with the words "No Parking" on it

A. It was not a police notice.
B. It was not a polite notice.
C. It was not painted blue.

H People choose colors when they buy things. Because of this, factories want to make things that are the colors people buy. For example, a car factory needs to know how many red cars or green ones they should make. Good businessmen (商人) know that young people’s colors are different from old people’s, and men’s are different from women’s. Young children react (反应) to the color of anything before they react to its shape. They like warm colors—red, yellow, and orange. When people get older, they begin to react more to the shape than color. The most liked color of grown-ups of all countries is blue. Their second loved color is red, and their third is green. On the whole, women like brighter colors than men do. Almost everyone likes red, but women like yellow and green more than men do. If two things are the same except color, they will look different. A red thing always looks nearer than a blue one just like bright things look larger than dark ones. That’s why large or fat people who want to look smaller or thinner wear dark clothes. If we put the same red and blue boxes together, the red one looks ______.

A. smaller
B. bright
C. bigger
