On an－airplane, a spacecraft or a man-made satellite, there is usually an installad device called the“biack box”Made of a special kind of material．it would remain unbroken, even if the entire craft were blown to pieces．The box records some important data,which provide clues as to what changes had occurred before the real thing came along and help to discover the causes of the disaster．
The black box．Therefore, becomes the last piece of evidence left．More often,it reveal a Schocking fact that many aircrafts met their disasters only beeanse of a simple but fatal mistake Some hadn't been supplied with sufficient fuel; others crashed due to a bird flying in their paths．In many cases．the pilot had been tired．In 1986, the famous US space siadttle Challenger exploded soon after launch, because a screw on it was a bit loose!
An idea thus occurs to me：if a human being was equipped with a similar device,tracking all the subtle inner Changes that had taken place over time, the results could astonish the world Newspapers carry no few sueh stories from day to day－cases of graft or bribe-taking(行贿或受贿), how－innocent maIl was robbed and killed,and so on．A fatal error,committed by a criminal at a particuiar point in his life, may have arisen from a small quarrei or out of envy．The number of those who were bom evil and deliberately sent themselvas to the“gallows(绞架)”is in fact extremely small．The disappointment towards the last moment of their life is no different from a struggl against an aircraft crash！
Behave properl in small matters and take best care of the soul-this, I'insist,is the message from that mysterious box planted deep inside human souls

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel．Green said,“Clearly I am the most important．I am the sign of life and hope．I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves．Without me, all animals would 1 ．”
Blue interrupted,“You only think about the 2 , but consider the sky and the sea． 3 the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea．Without my peace, you would all be 4 ．”
Yellow chuckled(笑道),“You are all so serious．I bring laughter, fun, and 5 into the world．”
