From red apples and yellow lemons to blueberries and green melons, fruit comes in many different colors. 1..

According to Lu Wei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, fruit colors actually come from their different pigments(色素).These pigments appear differently, depending on the fruit's environment. 2..

To find out how environment influences fruit colors, Chinese scientists studied more than 280 different fruit colors. They found that red fruit usually grow in cooler places. And instead of just growing in one place, you can find them growing in many places around the world. 3.. These fruits grow a lot in just one certain area. The scientists also found that the closer the fruit is to the equator(赤道), the darker its color will be.

4.. Animals eat fruit and drop the seeds(种子)in other places later. This helps the fruit spread and grow in different places. Therefore, in order to attract animals, some fruit develop colors that are easy for animals to see.

However, animals see colors in a different way.5.. For example, birds can see red more easily than humans can. Therefore, there is more red fruit in areas where birds live. The lemurs(狐猴)of Madagascar are red-green color-blind. Many yellow fruit can be found there, as they can easily see this color.

About 10 years ago when 1 was a student in college, 1 was working in a shop near my school. One day, I sow an elderly couple come in with a lite girl in a wheelchair(轮椅).

As I looked at this girt, I saw that she was seated in her chair. I realized she was disabled without arms or legs, just a head, neck and body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots(圆点).

As the couple wheeled her up 10 me, I was looking down at the cash register(收银处).I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(眨眼). As I took the money from her grandparents, the girl gave me the biggest smile 1 have ever seen. All of a sudden her disability disappeared. All I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile gave me a new sense of life. She took me from being a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world of smiles, love and warmth.

That was 10 years ago. I'm a successful businessman now. Whenever I am down and thinking about the troubles of the world, I think about that lite girl's smile and the life lesson she taught me.
