What do you think of black cats? Are they unluckier than cats of other colours? Many people in Western countries think so. Scientists at University of Calilornia, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people's understandings of cat personalities.The study found that people do judge(判断) cat personalities by colour. Scientists did a survey on the Internet. There were 49 statements matching different cat colouring with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi - coloured(双色的) cats are friendly, tri - coloured(三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think theydon't have special personalities.But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation(口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.Although people have these ideas, the UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: People think black cats aren't pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats."You can't judge a cat by its colour because it's the personality of the cat , not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you, "Cathy Marden, a scientist said.( )1.
