  When I opened my E-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen.She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm(热情).Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss.She was reading to me an E-mail from my brother.It was pretty cool.

  Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail.Facemail lets you send E-mail that gets read to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown(小丑).The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www.facemail.com.

  Facemail faces are lifelike, and they simulate(模仿)emotions based on emotions-for example, type in:-X, and Rachel blows a kiss.

  Life FX, the company that develops the Facemail, is sure that facemail has broad business uses.The reason E-mail is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch.But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale?And wouldn't it feel better when the kids get back from school but Mom can't be back and she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat?

  Facemail could get hot fast.Personally, I'm a fan.But Facemail should be used with care.The clown looks lively and funny at first.But if you select the clown, put a few rude words in an E-mail and add some angry emotions, you've got Psycho-mail(疯人性电子邮件).

  Hong Kong action star and tourism ambassador Jackie Chan apologized for his disruption and insults (辱骂) to the audience at Jonathan Lee's concert in Hong Kong but refused to admit that he was drunk.

  Chan told the media backstage on Monday, "I was drunk and I feel ashamed." Alex Fong, Chan's son, also apologized for his father's behavior and promised the media there would he no such things next time.

No complaints have received so far according to the Hong Kong Leisure and Cultural Service Department.

There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.

  First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.

  Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did man tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.

  The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官).

According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.

The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ___________.

      A. a red box is heavier than a white one

      B. a color has weight in one’s mind

      C. white paper is lighter than red paper

      D. you can know the weight of a color by holding it

Why did the scientist say colors have smell?

      A. Because people can sense the light from colors.

      B. Because we can smell colors with our nose.

      C. Because every color has its own sweet smell.

      D. Because every color can give off light of the same length.

If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will ___________.

A. rise            B. fall            C. stay the same            D. change now and then

It can be implied from the text that ___________.

A. colors have orders in weight

B. colors can change the weight of an object

C. people would stay longer in a room with red windows

D. colors can affect our mood and health

This passage is probably a ___________.

      A. book review             B. fiction novel             C. fairy tale           D. science report
