A
There are many colours in nature. But do you know if a colour has weight I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so A scientist found different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That’s to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and the order is the same. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长). It reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官).
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill.
1.In people’s mind, different colours have different weight. Orange is heavier than ________.
A.blue B.red C.yellow D.green
2.The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ________.
A.a red box is heavier than a white one
B.a colour has weight in one’s mind
C.white paper is lighter than red paper
D.you can know the weight of a colour by holding it
3.Why did the scientist say colours have smell
A.Because people can sense the light from colours.
B.Because we can smell colours with our nose.
C.Because every colour has its own sweet smell.
D.Because every colour can give off light of the same length.
B
Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.
Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.
Why do people work so many hours Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work. Some people think it’s their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours.
Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy.” If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.
4.A Japanese worker works ________ more hours a year than a French one.

As you grow quickly during your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult. 1 Don’t be afraid! You will deal with them successfully! You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility, you will find more chances to make your own choices. And you’d better get as much information as you can before you make a choice. In this way, you can make healthy balanced decisions. 2 You may already know your dream job in the future or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right chance will come to you itself.
