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.
Everything has two sides. Lets' all have a little more red in our lives and the world will be a better place.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, most American students went to a one-room schoolhouse. A single teacher would typically(典型地) have students in the first through eighth grades, and she taught them all. The number of students varied from six to 40 or more. The youngest children sat in the front, while the oldest students sat in the back. The teacher usually taught reading, writing, arithmetic, history, and geography. Students memorized(记忆) and retold their lessons.
The classroom of a one-room schoolhouse probably looked much like your own. The teacher’s desk stood on a raised platform(讲台) at the front of the room, however, and there was a wood-burning stove since there was no other way of heating. The bathroom was outside in an outhouse.
In Honeoye Falls, New York, there is a one-room schoolhouse where kids today can experience what it was like to the students in the late 19th century. For a week during the summer, they wear 19th century clothes and learn the way children learned more than a hundred years ago.

查看习题详情和答案>>But there's a lot going on in your mind and body while you are sleeping.
Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival as eating and drinking. Sleep improves your mood,
makes you a better athlete, and helps you remember and understand what you learned during the day.
During sleep, your temperature drops. Your heart beats slowly. A chemical that controls growth,
which is called a hormone (荷尔蒙), moves into your bloodstream. Scientists think that sleep brings back
energy and improves your immune (免疫) system. We know what happens while we're asleep because
scientists study volunteers who sleep in laboratories. The sleepers are connected with machines that
measure brain waves, eye movements and muscle activities.
Sleep is like a school day: it's divided into different stages (阶段). When you are awake, your brain
waves fire rapidly (迅速地). As you begin to relax and drift into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces
slower-moving waves and you lose awareness (意识) of your surroundings. As you fall into deeper sleep,
your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life. Then, as you begin to drift back up to
a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert (警觉的), and your dreams begin. You are in REM sleep.
REM is the name for the rapid eye movement that happens while you are dreaming. During REM sleep,
your eyes move back and forth behind your lids, as though you were watching a movie. During other
stages, you might move in bed, but during REM sleep you're not making any movement. That's probably
because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams. As you get close to morning, you
spend more time in REM than in deep sleep, so you dream more. Researchers know that during REM sleep
the part of the brain that deals with learning and thinking is very active.
Getting too little sleep can affect your personality. Experts recommend that children get at least nine
hours'sleep a night.
