What’s your eye colour ? What colour do you think is the most beautiful eye colour?
Recently, scientists have made a map of the eye colours of people in Britain. They’ve found out that blue is now the most common eye colour there.
The scientists say thousands of years ago, nearly all British people‘s eyes were brown. Today, 48% of British people have blue eyes,30% of British people have green eyes and the rest have brown eyes.
According to the map, in the area around Edinburgh in Scotland most people have blue eyes. Over half (57%) of people living in and around Edinburgh are blue-eyed people.The south-west of England has the fewest blue-eyed peolpe. Only 35% of people living there have blue eyes.
Though people still don’t know why some places of Britain have a lot of blue--eyed people, the number of people with blue eyes is increasing. Alistair Moffat, one of the scientists, says that’s because most people consider the people with blue eyes to be more beautiful. This means blue-eyed people have more chances to find a mate and get married. Alistair Moffat compares blue eyes to the tail of a peacock and he says that a more colourful tail can help a peacock get more mates.

A. Princess Kate is interested in gold.
B. Princess Kate can turn everything into gold.
C. Everything Princess Kate wears is welcomed and can sell well.
D. Princess Kate likes to wear gold clothes.
Everything that Princess Kate touches can turn into gold. She showed up in public in a yellow dress after she gave birth to her daughter. That caused the sales of yellow dresses to increase a lot. The website Ebay saw the sales of yellow dresses increase by 58 percent as a result of the “Kate effect”.Besides that, her fans were surprised by Kate’s ability to walk out of the hospital so soon after giving birth. The sales of nude high heels that she wore also increased by 94 percent, just because the high heels made her look noble and confident.
Not only British shoppers rushed to emulate Kate’s style, but also other foreign shoppers did the same thing. The sales of yellow dresses increase by 208 percent online in Australia, too. The same thing happened during 2014’s Royal Tour of Australia and New Zealand. The two different yellow dresses she wore were also popular online.
Prince William never disappoints British people whenever he appears. The style of his clothes matches his wife’s well. He was in a blue sweater recently, as blue is his favourite colour. This kind of blue sweater cost about 300 yuan online and was sold out overnight.
