Hold your head up high

I was 15 months old, a happy carefree kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. From then on, so my injured sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on with me. Sometimes people asked me embarrassing questions. When kids played games, I was　 always the “monster”. I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me.

Yet Mom would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I began to rely on that saying. As a child, I thought mum meant, “Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking.”

As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.

In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster.

All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and

she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the　 beauty that is inside instead of your appearance.”

My mom’s love was the spark that gave me confidence. I had faced hardships, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion (同情) for others.

“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I say it to my children. The gift my

Mom gave me lives on.

There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color 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 that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind' and their order is the　 same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.

The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist　 say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs.

According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even 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 an 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 colors.

1.The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us __________.

A. a red box is heavier than a white one　　 B. a color has weight in one’s mind

C. white paper is lighter than red paper　　 D. you can know the weight of a color by holding it

2.Why did the scientist say colors have smell?

A. Because people can sense the light from colors.

B. Because we can smell colors with our nose.

C. Because every color has its own sweet smell.

D. Because every color can give off light of the same length.

3.If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will __________.

A. rise　　 B. fall　　 C. stay the same　　 D. change now and then

4.It can be implied from the text that __________.

A. colors have orders in weight

B. colors can change the weight of an object

C. people would stay longer in a room with red windows

D. colors can affect our mood and health

5.This passage is probably a __________.

A. book review　　 B. fiction novel　　 C. fairy tale　　 D. science report
