a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blues? Then you
are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and
determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what
psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of
colour preference, and the influence that colours have on human beings. They tell us that we don"t choose
our favourite colours as we grow up. 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.
A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress
brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright
colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder,
and have fewer accidents when their machines and painted orange rather than black or dark grey.
Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or
a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you
find out what colours they like and dislike. And don"t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character
when you choose a piece of handkerchief.

camps in the woods, in the mountains or on lakes. But families now have many choices of special camps.
These can be in the middle of nature or a big city. Special camps offer young people the chance to learn
about different subjects: anything from space exploration to business to medicine.
In technology camps, one subject that children can learn about is video game design. They learn how
to use computer programs to create games of their own. One program that teaches video game design is
called Cybercamps. Children can learn how to design their own virtual (实际上的) worlds to set their
video game in. Then, they program their own rules and objects into the game.
Cybercamps also offers courses in robot building and Web design. A recent story in the Washington
Post described how one child made a robot that could sing a song. Another made a robot that could follow
a black line drawn on a piece of cardboard. Also, children can learn how to make Web sites. One child
made a site for Pokemon, one of his favourite cartoon shows.

What are the limits (极限) of human body? The BBC"s Focus magazine has some answers.
How cold can you stand?
Normal body temperature is around 37℃. At 35℃ you"re unable to write your name. Even walking is very
difficult. At 33℃ you may find it difficult to think, understand and form (形成) opinions properly. By the time
you have cooled to 20℃, your heart would have stopped beating. Limit: 0℃. Ice would form in your tissues
(纤维组织), killing all the cells.
How spicy can you eat?
There is capsaicin (辣椒素) in many foods. The more capsaicin, the hotter the dishes are. If you"re healthy
enough, you can survive (存活) eating a teaspoon of pure capsaicin. But you would find it impossible to eat
anything else for a few hours. Limit: 5g capsaicin.
How fast can you run?
The fastest man in the world is Asafa Powell. The runner finished the 100m in 9. 74 seconds in 2007. This
gives an average (平均的) speed of 36. 96km/h. Top runners are at their fastest around 80 metres, so a runner"s
greatest speed may reach 43.06km/h. Limit: 43.06km/h.
How loud is too loud?
The loudest sound you can hear is 168 dB (分贝). Sound louder than that may do harm to your ears. The
loudest sound ever recorded was the eruption of Krakatoa (卡拉卡托火山爆发) in 1883. It was 180 dB, 160km
away.
Limit: 168 dB

a garden, and on the table is a piece of blue cardboard (硬纸版) with a drop of syrup (糖浆) on it. After a short
time, bees come to the syrup. The bees then fly to their hive (蜂房) and give the syrup to other bees in the
hive. Then they return to the feeding-place which they have found. After a while, the blue cardboard with the
syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card, a blue card is now put on the left side of the first feeding-place
and a red card to its right. These new cards have no syrup on them. Very soon bees arrive again, and fly straight
to the blue card. None go to the red card.

of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms
(形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists (气象学家) can see the
weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive
new pictures, the meteorologists compare (比较) them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds
have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too.
In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists
could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days.
Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前).
B. in the atmosphere
C. above the ground
D. above space
B. clouds form there
C. the weather forms there
D. the pictures can forecast the weather
B. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones
C. before they received satellite pictures
D. during they study satellite pictures
B. two days
C. five days
D. seven days or even longer
B. receiving pictures of the atmosphere
C. doing other work in many ways
D. weather forecasting
