　　“Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought he's homeless?” I asked．

　　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(包)one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper．OK．Now hold the boxes before 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 that colours, different, different, have, in, man's, mind, weight．① So he did many tests and at last he got the result．That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same．The h ________ ② colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white．

　　A scientist told us that colours also have s ________ ③．Can you smell the colour?Of course not．Then why did the scientist say so?That is because every colour stands for(代表)a kind of light with a certain wave-length(波長(zhǎng))．It reaches our brain through sense organs(感覺(jué)器官)．

　　According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept(接受)the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate．So your body and mind will be h ________ ④ by using the colours you like．Or you'll be nervous or get ill．For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours．But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only one hour．Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall．That means our body temperature will change with different colours⑤．

Americans read English literature(文學(xué)作品) without any difficulty at all,and
British readers of early 20th century American literature have no problems
either.But for the last fifty years the Americans have been inventing a large
number of new words and phrases,many of which have already reached the UK
and the whole English-speaking world.

so?I can't believe it!English woman:It's true.You see,the water at home's always
so cold.American woman:But...But surely you have hot water in England?English
woman(laughs):Of course,but not in the sea!There can be similar
misunderstandings over the word "pants",though most English people know that
Americans call trousers "pant".American girl:I never wear pants.They don't
suit me.English girl:Really?Couldn't that be a bit embarrassing(難堪的)?
American girl:Embarrassing?Why?English girl:Well-that short skirt you're
wearing...American girl:Oh,my!But I wear panties(短襯褲)!In British English,
"pants"are undergarments.However,young people in Britain do sometimes say
"pants" for "trousers".
1. All the English is based on _______.
A. British English                      
B. American English
C. Canadian English  
D. Australian English
2. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?
A. Americans can read English literature easily.
B. British readers can read all the American literature with no difficulty,either.
