Jack is a clerk of a bookstore. Here is the note from his boss, Ben. Jack has to decide what books to order according to the following note and the descriptions of the books.
Hi Jack,
You must hand in the order list of books to me by the first working day of every month. The rules for choosing books are:
For textbooks:
● August is coming. We must choose all textbooks, without thinking of other rules.
For books which are not textbooks:
● If more than five copies of books were sold last month, we choose them. But if there are five copies or more in stock (現(xiàn)貨), we do not make an order.
● If the wholesale (批發(fā)) prices of the books are higher than $75, we do not choose them. And we do not order anything whose retail (零售) price is higher than $100.
Ben

Have you ever taken a color test? It isn’t like a normal test because you don’t pass or fail it. You choose your favorite color from a list and then a computer will tell you your personality(個性). If you like red, you may like to take risks（冒險）. If you like pink, you are a peaceful person.
Some large companies（公司）and universities(大學(xué))use color tests to decide if somebody is going to be a hard worker. Some doctors use them to get a quick idea of the problems that a patient may have.
Choose your favorite color below. Then you will know what kind of person you are.
