We got to the clean, lovely city of Yangzhou early in the morning. This is our first trip to China. All the different smells attract our attention(吸引我们的注意) to the local food. We are going to try something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying is not expensive but very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to the Great Wall in the north.

Sunday, April 27th

We visited the famous Slender West Lake which was crowded with visitors from all over the world. We also bought a lot of toys for our fiends outside the gate of the park. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will do the famous foot message(按摩) and then leave for the Great Wall. We will take the night train to Beijing, stay in Beijing for two days, and then catch a bus to the Great Wall.

Wednesday, April 30th

Our trip to the Great Wall was long and boring. We visited a small village beside the mountain. The village people here live a quiet life. They are the kindest people w have ever met. They always smile and say “Hello”. Ralph and I can only speak a little Chinese, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness.

People have been interested in color and its effects for hundreds of years. More recently, research has turned to the question of how different colors can help students learn better.

Believe it or not, some colors can affect a child’s IQ. For example, a simple black and white color scheme may cause IQ to become low, while the good use of reds and oranges may raise it as much as 15 points. Be careful not to use too much, however, a little red is exciting, but too much makes people uncomfortable. Bright yellow is exciting to the brain, while the color green is thought to encourage creativity.

Use blue and green to calm yourself. Blue, especially, can cause you to calm down. Something blue in a reading area, for example, may help you focus (集中于) on what you are reading. But too much dark blue can make you sad, so use light blue on walls or large floor areas.

If you are struggling to read, try a different color of paper. According to a study, 80 percent of children who had difficulty in reading improved their understanding when they put something grey or blue over their pages. Do not use bright colors here, as they become difficult to look at after a while.

However, use bright colors like red, orange and yellow for important points. These colors attract the eye and may help you notice details.

The same color of the walls of a room do not help you focus on your studies , but make you slow in understanding. Colors, on the other hand, make the senses active and encourage learning. Use primary colors red, yellow and blue in a proper way. Then how do you make your choices of color? It mainly depends on your space, the lighting and the function of the room.

1.The color grey may help you ________.

A. read better B. calm down C. raise IQ D. feel creative

2.If you want to remember some important facts, you may use the colors ________.

A. green and blue B. grey and blue C. red and yellow D. black and white

3.Which is most important when you choose the color for your room?

A. Your IQ and abilities. B. The use of your room.

C. Your likes and dislikes. D. The location of your room.

4.Which might be the proper title for the passage?

A. What should we learn about colors? B. Why are people interested in colors?

C. Where should we be careful with colors? D. How do colors affect our learning abilities?
