Why
does
the
sky
change
colors？
What
is
the
sky？How
high
is
it？What
color
is
it？What
birds
can
live
above
it？These
questions
are
difficult
to
answer，aren't
they？
In
fact，the
sky
has
no
color．Then
why
does
the
sky
look
blue？
We
know
that
there
is
air
around
the
world．When
planes
fly，they
need
air
to
lift
their
wings．Planes
can't
fly
very
high．That
is
because
the
air
gets
thinner
when
they
go
higher．
The
same
will
happen
to
us
if
we
go
high
enough．If
we
go
up
about
1，200
kilometers
from
the
earth，we'll
find
no
air
there．Some
birds
can
fly
into
the
sky
as
high
as
a
plane，but
they
cannot
fly
or
live
without
air．
Looking
up
above
us，you
will
see
the
blue
sky
with
white
clouds．It
is
usually
light
blue．The
color
would
be
bluer
when
you
see
on
the
top
of
a
high
mountain．And
you
will
see
fewer
clouds
in
the
sky
between
you
and
the
sun．
Sometimes
the
sky
doesn't
look
blue．When
the
sun
rises
and
falls，you
will
see
red
orange，and
other
colurs
in
the
sky．Such
are
the
most
beautiful
moments
of
the
day．
Who
can
see
the
colors
of
the
sky
high
above
the
earth？The
astronauts!They
can
see
those
beautiful
colors
of
the
sky
from
the
outer
space．However，before
flying
into
outer
space，they
sit
in
a
spaceship
high
above
the
earth，and
there
is
no
air
at
all．The
sky
would
be
that
dark
and
its
color
would
be
black．
Now
you
may
understand
that
we
see
colors
because
the
air
scatters（使散射）the
sunlight．Light
travels
through
the
air．Without
air，there
would
be
no
light
or
colors．
1.Planes
can't
fly
as
high
as
possible
because___．
A．the
sky
is
blue
B．the
wings
are
heavier
C．the
sky
has
no
color
D．the
air
becomes
thinner
2.When
you
stand
on
the
top
of
a
high
mountain，you
will
see___．
A．more
air
B．bluer
skies
C．more
colors
D．more
clouds
3.In
Huzhou，we
might
see
many
colors
in
the
sky
at___during
the
day．
A.6：00a．m．
B.9：00a．m．
C.1：00p．m．
D.3：00p．m．
4.The
sky
changes
colors
because___．
A．it's
colorful
itself
B．the
world
is
colorful
C．the
air
has
colors
D．the
air
scatters
the
sunlight．
答案：DBAD
Sometimes,
when
all
our
doubts,
fears
and
anxiety
fill
ourselves
up,
we
always
come
up
with
the
idea
of
“I
wish
I
was
somebody
else.”
We
often
believe
that
someone
or
rather,
most
people
are
better
than
us
–
when
in
actual,
the
fact
is,
most
people
are
more
frightened
than
us.
We
look
at
a
young
successful
businessman
and
say
“Wooh…
what
else
could
he
ask
for?”
He
looks
at
himself
at
the
mirror
and
talks
to
himself,
“I
hate
my
big
eyes…
I
wonder
why
my
friends
won’t
talk
to
me.”
Isn’t
it
funny?
We
look
at
other
people,
envy
(羡慕)
them
for
looking
so
unusually
perfect
and
wish
we
could
trade
places
with
them,
while
they
look
at
us
and
think
of
the
same
thing.
I
have
a
friend
who
never
gets
tired
of
talking.
And
in
most
conversations,
she
is
the
only
one
who
seems
to
be
interested
in
the
things
she
has
to
say.
So
all
of
our
other
friends
don’t
like
to
be
in
the
circles
whenever
she’s
around.
One
key
to
self-improvement
is
to
LISTEN
and
TALK
to
a
trusted
friend.
Find
someone
who
you
find
comforts
in
opening
up
with
even
the
gentlest
topics
you
want
to
discuss.
Ask
questions
like
“Do
I
talk
too
loud?”,
“Does
my
breath
smell?”,
“Do
I
ever
bore
you
when
we’re
together?”Lend
her
your
ears
for
comments
and
don’t
give
her
answers
like
“Don’t
exaggerate
(夸大)!
That’s
just
the
way
I
am!”
One
of
Whitney
Houston’s
songs
says
“Learning
to
love
yourself
is
the
greatest
love
of
all.”
True
enough!
In
order
to
love
others,
you
must
love
yourself
too.
Remember,
you
cannot
give
what
you
do
not
have.
Self-improvement
makes
us
better
people,
we
then
inspire
(鼓舞)
other
people,
and
then
the
rest
of
the
world
will
follow.
Stop
thinking
of
yourselves
as
second-rate
beings
(二等人).
Forget
the
thought
of
“If
only
I
was
richer…
if
only
I
was
thinner”
and
so
on.
Accepting
your
true
self
is
the
first
step
to
self-improvement.
Nobody
is
perfect.
We
always
wish
we
had
better
things,
better
features,
better
body
parts,
etc.
But
life
need
not
be
perfect
for
people
to
be
happy
about
themselves.
Self-improvement
and
loving
yourself
is
not
a
matter
of
shouting
to
the
whole
world
that
you
are
perfect
and
you
are
the
best.
It’s
the
virtue
(美德)
of
acceptance
and
contentment
(知足).
When
we
begin
to
improve
ourselves,
we
then
begin.

鹦鹉是绿的，金鱼是红的，大象是灰的，小猪是粉的，小熊是棕的。除了变色龙之外，所有的动物都有自己的颜色。它们走到哪里，颜色都会随着发生变化。在柠檬上，它们是黄色的；在欧石楠丛中，它们是紫色的；在老虎身上，它们的条纹跟老虎的一样。
一天，一只变色龙坐在老虎的尾巴上自言自语道：“如果我一直留在树叶上，我就可以永远是绿色的，这样我也能有自己的颜色。”一想到这里，他就十分开心地爬上森林里最绿的一片叶子上。可是，到了秋天树叶变黄了，于是变色龙也变成黄色。不久树叶变红了，变色龙也跟着变成红色。冬天的风把树叶从树枝上吹落下来，变色龙也掉了下来。变色龙在漫长的冬夜变成了黑色的。
但是当春天来了，变色龙走进绿葱葱的草地，遇到了另一只变色龙，告诉它这个悲伤的故事。“难道我们永远不能有自己的颜色吗？”它问。另一只年长而睿智的变色龙说：“恐怕不能吧。但是，为何我们不一起生活呢？无论我们去哪里，我们还是会改变自己的颜色，但是你和我会一直都一样。”于是它们并肩而行，一起变成绿色，一起变成棕色，一起变成紫色，一起变成黄色，一起变成点缀着白色圆点的红色……从此它们快乐地生活在一起。
