　　Colours are really made by reflected（反射）light. We see colour because most of the things reflect light. Something is red, for it reflects most of the red light. In the same way, if something is green, it reflects most of the green light. If something reflects all lights, it is white. If it doesn't reflect any light, it is black.

　　Some of the light is reflected and some is taken in（吸收）and turned into heat. The darker the colour is, the less light is reflected, the more light is taken in. So dark-coloured（深色的）clothes are warmer in the sun than light-coloured clothes.

　　No air means death, although we cannot see it. Here is air around us, so air is everywhere and it gives life to everything. Without it we can not live. Bad air makes people ill. We must have fresh air to keep us in good health.

　　In the city there are a great many people and there are too many cars running on the road. The gas which the cars spread out is full of poison （毒素）. Every day we breathe （呼吸） it in and out. This makes us feel sick. Therefore people should go out of door as much as they can.

　　Besides so many cars, there are many factories, too. From the chimneys of these factories, we see the smoke usually in black or green colour.

　　This kind of smoke, when it mixes （混合） the air, is dangerous to our health. It is because smoke contains （含有） many small poisonous soils and gases. So in order to keep us healthy we have to go out to the countryside to breathe more fresh air. Or we can go up hills to get more fresh air.

　　Only a hundred years ago, people seldom traveled far out of their birthplace. Books were very expensive and there were few national（国家的）newspapers and no radio or TV. In fact, most people spent their time talking and listening. And only a little reading and writing went on and many people were unable to read and write. For this reason, native dialects（方言）grew up and people spoke as their parents and grandparents did. A Cornwall woman who traveled just as far as London would find that people spoke a complete different language.

　　Sometimes it is hard to take in just how much things have changed. You always have books around, read magazines and newspapers, have different TV or radio programs. You and everyone around you, often travel not just in British islands but all of the world. Modern science has changed our life and distances（距离）have been made shorter. It might have taken a Cornwall woman three days to travel to London. Now it takes less than two hours by air, less than four by train and less than six by road.

　　The result of this is that the language we use is becoming more national and the dialect are dying out. Writing, printing（印刷）and broadcasting（广播）have speeded up this change as one dialect has come to be used by more and more people. This is the dialect called Standard（标准的）English which was first used outside London in the south and east Midlands.
