根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 1.. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 2.. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
3.. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 4.. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area — until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
5.. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A.On the other hand, black is depressing.
B.They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up — we are born with our preference.
C.The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.
D.If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E.Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
F.Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.
G.Colors do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it
We’ve heard of robots and AI（Artificial Intelligence）taking human jobs, but I bet mayors（市长）don’t really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon. They were wrong, and the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that.
AI can’t legally run for high-ranking public management positions yet, but one mayoral candidate from Tama City, Tokyo, intended to maximize the use of artificial intelligence in running city affairs. He was running his campaign （竞选运动） as “AI Mayor”. Basically, he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having them collect city data and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone.
“For the first time in the world, AI will run in an election,” human candidate Michihito Matsuda announced on Twitter. “Artificial Intelligence will change Toma City. With the birth of an AI Mayor, we will conduct balanced politics.”
The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors. Posters were shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were blaring out（大声鸣响）promises of an AI utopia （乌托邦）and asking for support.
Some people called Michihito Matsuda’s campaign a stunt （噱头）, as a human would still be the one legally in charge. However, others said that they were excited about the future of AI running things in the background, adding that it had to be a better choice.
1.What’s the advantage of the AI mayor according to Michihito Matsuda?
A.Maximizing the use of AI. B.Replacing human officials.
C.Creating balanced policies. D.Bringing him beneficial effects.
2.How will AI run for the mayor?
A.It will abolish many old policies.
B.It will ask for support on the Internet.
C.It will make public speeches, dressed like a human.
D.It will compete similarly to human competitors.
3.What’s the citizens’ attitude toward Michihito Matsuda’s campaign?
A.They believe AI will win. B.All consider it to be tricky.
C.It is supposed to be a failure definitely. D.Some think it’s worthy of expectation.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.AI Runs for the Mayor. B.The Advantages of AI.
C.AI Replaces Human in Management. D.The Patterns of AI Management.
