【解析】

短文主要讲颜色对人们的情绪的影响，如：蓝色使人平静；橙色或黄色使人快乐、温暖等。

1.句意：一些颜色会使我们平静。

考查形容词辨析。moved感动的；nervous紧张的，焦虑的；peaceful安静的，平静的，和平的。由“Blue is...good for the mind and body.（穿着蓝色的衣服或在蓝色的房间睡觉对我们的身心有益。）”可知，“一些颜色会使我们（内心）平静。”。故选C。

2.句意：蓝色也意味着悲伤。

考查同义替换。由下文“Someone who is feeling upset ...blue.（心情沮丧的人可能会说……）”可知，“蓝色也意味着悲伤。”故选B。

3.句意：像橙色或黄色就属于这种。

考查动词词组。belong to属于，lead to导致，deal with处理、应付。句中like意为“像”，用于列举比较对象。由此可知，所列举的“橙色或黄色”“属于”上文提及的情况：一些颜色使人快乐、温暖。故选A。

4.句意：当我们难过的时候，橙色会带给我们成功并使我们高兴起来。

考查动词短语。drive us crazy使我们生气，cheer us up使我们高兴起来，let us down让我们难过。由上文“Orange can bring us success”可知，“橙色也使我们高兴起来。”故选B。

5.句意：它能给我们力量。

考查名词辨析。value价值，fame名声， energy力量。由上文“...make us feel energetic”可知，“它（绿色）能给我们力量。”故选C。
