What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orangeand red? You do, you must be a person full of hopeful(充满希望的) happy feelingsabout life. Do you like gray and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you wouldrather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy. If you lovegreen, you are strong-minded. 53You wish to do everything well andwant other people to see you are successful. At least this is whatpsychologists (心理学者) tell us. They tell us that wedon’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, youdid so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could seeclearly.
A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable（舒适）than a dark greenone; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day.54Lightand bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is afact that factory workers work better, harder, and have few accidents whentheir machines are painted (漆) orange rather than blackor dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can brighten your dayor your life with a new shirt or new colorful things. Remember also that youwill know your friends better when you find out what colors they like ordislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character (性格) when you choose something in different colors.

Tigers are strong and dangerous animals. But now they are in danger.
In the past, there were eight kinds of tigers in the world. But duringthe 20th century, only five were left. The number of Siberian tigers (东北虎) was about 300,but now it is less than 22. They’re in danger of dying out. If the governmentdoes nothing, we won’t be able to see them in ten to twenty years.

However, it’s not enough. Remember that nature is a food chain (链). If we hurt andkill too many wild deer and pigs, wild tigers will die out because of hunger (饥饿). So the most important thing is to save the animals that tigers eat.In order to protect the wild tigers, we need call on (号召) more people to stop eating, hunting and killing wild animals.
