What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 71 . Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist（悲观主义者）. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 72 . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
73 . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 74 . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides（自杀）than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainted green . The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
75 . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up---we are born with our preference.
C. The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.
D. If you do, you must be an optimist（乐观主义者）, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.
G. Colors do influence our moods---there is no doubt about it.

It is an all too familiar story．A natural disaster strikes in a remote part of the world, causing destruction and suffering．Villages are flattened and people are forced into camps．It is now happening in China, after the earthquake of magnitude(里氏)8 that was centered on Wenchuan but shook the entire country．
Actually, in the past centuries, there were hundreds of thousands of earthquakes in different parts of the world．In Sept．1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it．They had to be completely rebuilt．One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shanxi Province in 1556．It claimed almost one million people．
We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter scale．The Richter scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA．It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten．Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious．
The earth’s crust(地壳)is made up of layers of rock called plates．As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake．In cities such as Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the earth moves, they move with it．
Earthquakes can also break up gas or oil pipes．This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself．
Another effect of the earthquakes is tsunamis(海啸)．These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea．They can be many meters high and cause great damage to costal towns and cities．
China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence of earthquakes in the world．

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children．Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the USA or Australia．They also want their children to take extra courses or activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life． 1 So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education． 2
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap．
Parents can see that their children's skills vary．Some children are skilled in some areas while poor in others． 3
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but not teaching them the most important skills：they need to be confident, happy and clever．
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework．
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life． 4 It is an enjoyable but difficult experience．A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully．The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence．
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest．he will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up． 5 And that is more important．
A．The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is．
B．These activities are teaching a child not only to read a book, but also to think, to use his mind．
C．What most parents fail to realize, though, is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence．
D．Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter．
E．The more cost in education, the better the result will be．
F．Cooking demands patience and time．
