4．Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys？
The answer depends largely（61）on cultural values as well as personal experiences．To the Egyptians，green was a color（62）which/thatrepresented the hope and joy of spring，while for Muslims，it means heaven．Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures．During the Spring Festival in China，children （63）are given（give） money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year．For many nations，blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs．Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect （64）themselves against evils（灾祸）．
People's（65）choice（choose） of colors is also influenced by their bodies'reactions toward them．Green is said to be （66）a most restful color．It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally （67）and physically．People（68）working （work） in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches．
Red can cause a person's blood pressure to rise and increase people's appetites（食欲）．Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant．And many commercial websites will have a red"Buy Now"button because red is a color that （69）easily（easy） catches a person's eye．

16．To err is human．To blame the other guy is even more human．
Common sense is not all that common．
Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse？
These three popular misquotes （戏谑的引语） are meant to be jokes，and yet they tell us a lot about human nature．To err，or to make mistakes，is indeed a part of being human，but it seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for the problem．Perhaps it is the natural thing to do．The original quote about human nature went like this：To err is human，to forgive，divine （神圣的）．This saying mirrors a deal people should be forgiving of others'mistakes．Instead，we tend to do the opposite---find someone else to pass the blame on to．However，taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity．
Common sense is what we call clear thought．Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well，and it also means staying with the plan．Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm，but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine．Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations，because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything．People say that in a large company，"the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing．"
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art？One of the common problems with making excuses is that people，especially young people get the idea that it's okay not to be totally honest all the time．There is a corollary （直接推论） to that：if good excuse is"good"even if it isn't honest，then where is the place of the truth？
