第31至34題為題組
Have you ever thought of “coloring” the names of the days of the week? When you listen to someone speaking， do you see a rainbow of colors? Or perhaps Mozart’s music tastes like an apple pie to you? If so， it is very likely that you have synesthesia.

Synesthesia is a condition in which people’s senses intermix. In some cases， people with synesthesia may experience colors when they hear， read， or even think of letters and numbers. In others， words can trigger a real sensation of taste on their tongue.

(B) Meanwhile， environmental influences seem to shape a person’s synesthesia.
(C) People with synesthesia used to be accused of making their experiences up.
(D) Some studies even show that people may all be synesthetic to some degree.
