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.

1.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

2. 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.

3. 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

4.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

5.This passage is probably a ___________.

　　A man came home from work late，tired and irritated(生气的，不耐烦的), to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

　　“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”

　　“Yeah sure, what is it?”replied the man.

　　“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”

　　“That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?”the man said angrily.

　　“I just want to know. Please tell me，how much do you make an hour?”pleaded the little boy.

　　“If vou must know, I make $20 an hour.”

　　“Oh,”the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said,“Daddy, may I please borrow $10?”

　　The father was furious(生气的),“If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.”The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and, started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.“Are you asleep, son?”He asked.

　　“No, daddy, I'm awake,”replied the boy.

　　“I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,”said the man.“It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation(怒气) on you. Here's the $10 you asked for.”

　　The little boy sat straight up, smiling.“Oh. thank you, daddy!”He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled(皱皱巴巴的) up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

　　“Why do you want more money if you already have some?”the father grumbled.

　　“Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,”the little boy replied.

　　“Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”
