What color is a tennis ball Ask your classmates, and they might give you some 11 answers.
An American magazine, The Atlantic, asked 30, 000 people this question. 52% of the people said tennis balls are green, 42% said yellow, and 6% said 12 else. According to the International Tennis Federation, tennis balls 13 yellow. So, why do most people say that they’re green
When we see an object in natural light for the 14 time, our brains remember its true color. Even if the object is 15 in different kinds of light later, our brains can still tell its true color. 16 call this color constancy (恒常性). For example, we know that China’s flag is red. When we see it during sunset or under purple light, we still know that it is red, even if it looks like a different color.
However, the color of a tennis ball is not as pure (纯的) as the flag. It appears to be a mixture of yellow, a “warm” color, and green, a “cool” color.
The magazine says that when 17 brains try to work out what color the ball is, some people ignore (忽略) cool colors like green, blue and purple. So they see the ball as yellow. 18 ignore warm colors, such as red, yellow and orange. They see the ball as green.
It is not just tennis balls that make such confusion. In 2018, a girl 19 a picture of a dress online. Some people said the dress was black and blue 20 other people said it was gold and white. They had different opinions based on whether they ignored cool or warm colors.

But as autumn—the harvest time comes, locusts change into the same 127 color as crops have. Some other pests whose colors are 128 from plants are easily found and eaten by others.

There are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight Let’s do a test.

Which one is 137 It is certain that you will think the red one is heavier. Why do you think so A scientist did many 138 and found that different colors have different weights in a man’s mind.
Also, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and 139 the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be 140 by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous 141 even get ill. For example, you 142 blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows and wallpaper for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for 143 hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks 144 of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise.

Colors are often connected to the feelings we have. Many expressions in English 145 colors and emotions. For example, the color green.
Green can be a 146 for many things. In other words, it can represent many different ideas, qualities, or objects in our lives. One of these is money. For example, a greenback is a common expression for a dollar bill… because it is green. Here is 147 example: green represents environmental causes. So, if a company goes green, they probably have changed to 148 technology to produce their products. Green is also a sign of a beginner. If someone is green to a job or activity, they are new to it. So if I’m green at cooking, I’m probably not very good at it.
A．eaten up B．programs C．really D．expensive E.unpleasant
Green can also mean other things---bad things
For example, we use green to describe people who are very jealous. One of the expressions is very simple: We say they are “green with envy.” Let’s say I 149 want something that you have---like a beautiful apartment. You could say that I am green with envy about your apartment.
It does not feel good to be green with envy. In fact, feeling jealous is 150 . And some people get so jealous of others that it begins to affect their lives. In that case, we can say they are“ 151 by jealousy.” We can also say “the green-eyed monster” has a hold of them. The green-eyed monster is imagined as a beast that attacks people. It takes over their minds and tries to destroy their lives.
If someone happens to speak English a little better than you, don’t turn green with envy. Just listen to more 152 about learning English. That will help you a lot more than giving in to the green-eyed monster

Then the scientists gave the dogs food every time they showed them a certain color. The dogs got ready to eat when they saw this color. Then the dogs 155 another color, and they also got ready to eat. The colors were all the same to them.
Colors are not all the same to monkeys, however. For example, if we put food in the red box, and do this every day, a monkey will always go to the red box 156 food. If we then put food in a blue box, the monkey 157 to it.

The magazine says that when 17 brains try to work out what color the ball is, some people ignore (忽略) cool colors like green, blue and purple. So they see the ball as yellow. 18 ignore warm colors, such as red, yellow and orange. They see the ball as green.
It is not just tennis balls that make such confusion. In 2018, a girl 19 a picture of a dress online. Some people said the dress was black and blue 20 other people said it was gold and white. They had different opinions based on whether they ignored cool or warm colors.

It is not just tennis balls that make such confusion. In 2015, a girl 104 a picture of a dress online. Some people said the dress was black and blue 105 other people said it was gold and white. They had different opinions based on whether they ignored cool or warm colors.

Today, if we talk about a color, we only need to use a simple name. For example, blue in Chinese is “lan”. But in 106 China, there were many beautiful names for blue, such as yuebai and qielan.

In the Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC), people’s favourite color was black. The Qin people believed that black was the color of water. They 114 water could bring them good luck. In 115 years, some popular TV dramas have used traditional Chinese colors in costurmes and buildings. They enable people to see how beautiful the ancient Chinese colors still are.

First, bright yellow gets our attention faster than any other color. Many school buses bring children to school in the 121 morning hours. At this time of day, it may still be a little dark. Yellow makes 122 easier for people to notice the school bus.

Some birds like 125 locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why It is because locusts change their colors 126 the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as autumn—the harvest time comes, locusts change into the same 127 color as crops have. Some other pests whose colors are 128 from plants are easily found and eaten by others.

If you study animals’ life, you’ll find the main use of colors is to protect themselves as well. 130 , lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily 131 by hunters because their colors are much like the trees.
Colors are useful not only on the 132 , but also in the sea. A kind of fish can give out a kind of black liquid (液体) when they face danger.

There are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight Let’s do a test.
First, put two objects with the 135 weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap (包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other with white. Now hold the boxes 136 your hand one by one. Which one is 137 It is certain that you will think the red one is heavier. Why do you think so A scientist did many 138 and found that different colors have different weights in a man’s mind.
Also, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and 139 the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be 140 by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous 141 even get ill. For example, you 142 blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows and wallpaper for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for 143 hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks 144 of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise.

Colors are often connected to the feelings we have. Many expressions in English 145 colors and emotions. For example, the color green.
Green can be a 146 for many things. In other words, it can represent many different ideas, qualities, or objects in our lives. One of these is money. For example, a greenback is a common expression for a dollar bill… because it is green. Here is 147 example: green represents environmental causes. So, if a company goes green, they probably have changed to 148 technology to produce their products. Green is also a sign of a beginner. If someone is green to a job or activity, they are new to it. So if I’m green at cooking, I’m probably not very good at it.
A．eaten up B．programs C．really D．expensive E.unpleasant
Green can also mean other things---bad things
For example, we use green to describe people who are very jealous. One of the expressions is very simple: We say they are “green with envy.” Let’s say I 149 want something that you have---like a beautiful apartment. You could say that I am green with envy about your apartment.
It does not feel good to be green with envy. In fact, feeling jealous is 150 . And some people get so jealous of others that it begins to affect their lives. In that case, we can say they are“ 151 by jealousy.” We can also say “the green-eyed monster” has a hold of them. The green-eyed monster is imagined as a beast that attacks people. It takes over their minds and tries to destroy their lives.
If someone happens to speak English a little better than you, don’t turn green with envy. Just listen to more 152 about learning English. That will help you a lot more than giving in to the green-eyed monster

Humans can see different colors. But scientists 153 that most animals cannot see colors. The world is black and white to them.
Scientists did an experiment. They gave dogs food every time they 154 a certain piece of music. The dogs got ready to eat only when they heard this piece of music. They did not get ready to eat when they heard other pieces of music.
Then the scientists gave the dogs food every time they showed them a certain color. The dogs got ready to eat when they saw this color. Then the dogs 155 another color, and they also got ready to eat. The colors were all the same to them.
Colors are not all the same to monkeys, however. For example, if we put food in the red box, and do this every day, a monkey will always go to the red box 156 food. If we then put food in a blue box, the monkey 157 to it.

Once upon a time, the colors of the world started to quarrel. All said that they were the best, the most important, the most useful and the most popular.
Green said, “Clearly, I am the most 158 . I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and 159 . Without me, all animals would die.”
Blue interrupted, “You only think about the earth, 160 consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life.”
Yellow laughed, “You are all so serious. I bring laughter and 161 into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, and the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world 162 to smile. Without me, there would be no fun.”
Red shouted, “I am the ruler of all of you. I am the color of danger and of bravery. I bring fire into the blood. Without 163 , the earth would be as empty as the moon.”
