Different colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen. In a new programme “Colour me Healthy”, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are.
“Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?” says Verity. “Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products(产品)as being a bit unpleasant. It’s the same for businesses. We respect a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design(设计)new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.”
During the programme, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each part. She meets people who work in the colour industry, from people who design food packages, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to prove their ideas, such as the American “Colour Doctor” who believes that serious diseases can be treated successfully by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results.
Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the programme, it’s up to you to make your own decisions about how much you should believe.

Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many of our new neighbors weren't very welcoming. Some of them said angrily
that we should return to where we came from. The children sometimes threw stones at me or drove me
home from school.
Most of my teachers simply took no notice of me, but not Dorothy Bean, my history teacher. Miss Bean
was angry at how badly I was being treated, but she didn't say this to me. Miss Bean showed her respect
for me by teaching me just like anyone else. Instead of being unnoticed, I was given a chance to show that
I was clever. Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me think for myself. She always wanted to
know what I thought about difficult questions. Was Thomas Jefferson right to buy Louisiana from France?
Why? She expected me to have my own idea. Miss Bean was teaching me that thinking for oneself was the
real key to education.
One day, when I was not paying attention in class, Miss Bean suddenly threw an eraser at me. The eraser
hit me right on the hand and sent my pencil flying. The whole class were very surprised at first, then started
laughing. This event became famous in the school and, because it happened to me, the students wanted to
get to know me. So that's the story of how Dorothy Bean made me her target (靶子), and how I became
just another kid in school.
