He saw an old man along the roadside and stopped to ask for the way to his home. “Could you please tell me how long it will take to get to Carson from this village ” The old man said, “If you go slowly, it will take only a short while for you to get home. But if you go quickly, it will take a long time.” The man didn’t believe the old man’s suggestion was friendly. He gave the man an angry look and hit his horse to make it hurry. The horse began to run quickly. But soon, coconuts began to fall from the wagon. Each time, the man got off to collect the fallen coconuts and put them back into his wagon.

What colors will you choose to paint your house How are your thoughts influenced by the colors you see What’s the relationship between our thoughts and colors Recently, the scientists did A study. It has found the secret behind our thoughts and colors.
Colors are often divided into “warm ”(reds and oranges)and “cool ”(blues and greens ). From the study, the scientists found that when the walls in the room are painted in warm colors, we actually feel that the temperature there is higher. However, when they are painted in cool colors, we feel the temperature there is lower. This makes warm colors a good choice for rooms in a cool climate. Cool colors are a good choice in rooms that are warm.
Putting a light color on the wall makes that wall seem a little further away than it actually is. While darker colors on walls makes them seem even closer than their true positions. So you can use colors to “change” the shapes of rooms.
The study has also showed the special “powers” of colors. First, the color green has something to do with creative thinking. So greens are a good choice for home offices, art rooms, and so on. Therefore we always see green color in offices. Next, they found that people in front of red backgrounds are more attractive. So reds are great for bedroom wall. What’s more, using yellow in a house can be wrong. But yellow may be accepted in kitchens because warm colors can help encourage people to eat more.
All in all, colors do have influences on our thoughts. And maybe we can find more in the future.

Growing up
Growing up is like a long journey and I’ve experienced different facts.
Learning about the world is part of growing up. I learn through books about people in different times and places. At home, my parents teach me how to be a kind person. Besides, I’ve learnt how to get along with classmates and teachers at school.
However, there’re difficulties on the journey. For example, I once couldn’t achieve a balance between schoolwork and hobbies. Luckily, my teacher advised me to make better use of time.
Though growing up is hard, we should never lose heart when meeting with difficulties. Our parents, teachers and classmates will always be there with us. And that’s the beauty of growing up.

A man made his living by collecting coconuts (椰子) in the countryside. One day, he went to a small village that he had never been before. Towards the end of the day, his wagon (马车) was filled with coconuts. He decided to head home because it was getting dark.
He saw an old man along the roadside and stopped to ask for the way to his home. “Could you please tell me how long it will take to get to Carson from this village ” The old man said, “If you go slowly, it will take only a short while for you to get home. But if you go quickly, it will take a long time.” The man didn’t believe the old man’s suggestion was friendly. He gave the man an angry look and hit his horse to make it hurry. The horse began to run quickly. But soon, coconuts began to fall from the wagon. Each time, the man got off to collect the fallen coconuts and put them back into his wagon.
The faster he went, the more coconuts fell from his wagon, and the more time he had to take to pick them up.
So he went home very late at last. However, if he had travelled slowly, maybe none of the coconuts would have fallen , and the man would have arrived home much earlier. And so, as the old man said, go slowly and it will take only a short while.

What colors will you choose to paint your house How are your thoughts influenced by the colors you see What’s the relationship between our thoughts and colors Recently, the scientists did A study. It has found the secret behind our thoughts and colors.
Colors are often divided into “warm ”(reds and oranges)and “cool ”(blues and greens ). From the study, the scientists found that when the walls in the room are painted in warm colors, we actually feel that the temperature there is higher. However, when they are painted in cool colors, we feel the temperature there is lower. This makes warm colors a good choice for rooms in a cool climate. Cool colors are a good choice in rooms that are warm.
Putting a light color on the wall makes that wall seem a little further away than it actually is. While darker colors on walls makes them seem even closer than their true positions. So you can use colors to “change” the shapes of rooms.
The study has also showed the special “powers” of colors. First, the color green has something to do with creative thinking. So greens are a good choice for home offices, art rooms, and so on. Therefore we always see green color in offices. Next, they found that people in front of red backgrounds are more attractive. So reds are great for bedroom wall. What’s more, using yellow in a house can be wrong. But yellow may be accepted in kitchens because warm colors can help encourage people to eat more.
All in all, colors do have influences on our thoughts. And maybe we can find more in the future.
