What is your favorite color? According to surveys, as few as 8% of people would choose red as their favorite color. The usual winner is blue.

In fact, red isn't really like the color most people think. It has many other meanings. It stands for danger, excitement. It means STOP! Red is the color of blood, which we don't see until something bad happens. It's even been shown with mistakes( red inks in school).

Red also can be seen in English language-often in an unhappy time. We "see red" when we are angry and "turn red" when we're shy. If a person or a company is "in the red", they've spent more money than they have.

However, let's see the good side of the color red! Do you think sports teams that wear the color red are more likely to win games? Also, we know that people may choose red when they buy a sports car.

She just took it and began eating. "Do you know who I am?" Anna asked. "You're the girl who brings me ice cream." Grandma said.  "Yes, but I'm Anna, your granddaughter. Don't you remember me?" she asked, throwing her arms around the old lady. Grandma smiled, "Remember? Sure. You're the girl who brings me ice cream."

At East China University of Science and Technology,students will get a coupon (优惠券) if they eat up their food.Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.
"It's been such a surprise," said Liang Zahaoyun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. "It has given us one more motivation to finish our food. "
The measure is part of a national "eat-up" campaign(行动) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校园).
Why only on campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhna News Agency,students waste twice as much food as the national average(平均).
The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country.
"The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle," said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.
But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.
"I'm glad that we've reduced food waste since the 'eat-up' campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses." said Tao
