Colors are like magic in our world, making everything look beautiful and exciting. They are everywhere in nature, from the blue sky above to the green grass below. Let’s know more about how colors bring joy and beauty to our life.
Colors and Feelings
Do you know that colors can make us feel different emotions (情感) Some colors, like red and orange, can make us feel full of joy and energy. Other colors, like blue and green, can make us feel calm and relaxed. Colors seem to have magic power to make us feel different things!
Colors and Meanings
Colors can mean different things in different cultures. For example, in some places, red can mean luck or love, while in other places, it can mean danger. Colors are like the codes that help us understand and connect with different cultures around the world. Colors can also have special (特别的) meanings in certain situations. For example, traffic lights use red for “stop” and green for “go”. That’s because colors can help us understand important information quickly.
Colors for Communication
Colors can help us communicate without using words. Have you ever seen a map with different colors Those colors can tell us where things are, like mountains or rivers. Colors can also show us where to go easily. For example, different colors are used in signs in subway stations to help us tell different subway lines quickly. Colors are like messengers (信使) that give us important information without speaking.
_____________
Color is an important part in the field of art. Colors help artists tell stories and show their imagination in a special way. Even if there are no words, we can understand what the artists want to express through the pictures. Just like nature, art is full of colors that make our world more interesting and meaningful. When we look at a colorful painting, we can feel like we’re inside another world.
Colors can have many kinds of effects (影响) on people. They can help us feel different emotions, understand different cultures, and even communicate without words. From the colors in nature to the colors in art, they make our world joyful and beautiful to explore.

My classmates sometimes ask me, “Jane, is it safe to be vulnerable(脆弱的) and share my story ” Will it make people not believe in me
People believe that sharing vulnerability is weak. But it is not true. In fact, sharing vulnerability is a way of facing our life positively (积极地). Being vulnerable and sharing our stories and troubles show we are brave and strong. It is another feeling we need to know about.
Here is an example. There are two teachers. They will teach you how to speak in front of others. The first one talks about his diploma(文凭) from the university. The second shares a story of how he faced fears to find the confidence(自信心) to speak in public for the first time. Which one would you feel closer to I think it’s the second one.
We have found that sharing vulnerability makes us strong and brave, so now the question is “How to share it in the right way ”
The right way is to share our story from the positive side. In the end, we can learn the lessons and get a powerful encouraging message.
A few days ago, I had my first class meeting and deeply shared how I felt from a positive side. In the class, I felt very vulnerable. But finally, I decided to go public with it. So I shared my fears. I shared how my mind was trying to play with me every day and questioned(质疑) if I was good enough. Many classmates had the same feelings. Who doesn’t have trouble every day Then I shared how I faced my fears. My classmates truly agreed with me and my story brought them closer to me.
Our stories help us find our life purpose(目的). So sharing them becomes a positive thing, not something to fear.
12. The writer thinks that sharing vulnerability makes us ________.
A. weak and sad B. fun and healthy C. sorry and scared D. brave and strong
13. The writer probably agrees that talking about our vulnerability ________.
A. makes people feel closer to us B. is something to fear
C. makes people feel less positive D. is something to question
14. The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to(指代) ________.
A. ideas B. stories C. purposes D. facts
15. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A. To let us know what vulnerability is.
B. To show us the importance of stories.
C. To help us face vulnerability positively.
D. To tell us how the writers faced the fears.
C
Let’s play a little game.
Clear your mind. Go ahead. Clear it. OK now, try not to picture a white bear. Failed (失败) OK, let’s try again. Now do the countdown from three. Three, two, one! Oh no! White bear again!
If you’re having trouble with this, don’t worry. You’re not alone. In fact, the harder you try not to think of something, the more you end up thinking about it.
It has a name, called Ironic Process Theory. Social psychologist (社会心理学家) Daniel Wegner first studied it in 1987. The theory tells people “thought control has the opposite effect on behaviors.” So, if you’ve ever told yourself again and again not to play computer games or not to eat too much ice-cream, I’m sure this comes as no surprise. So it almost makes sure that your hard work to change bad habits by resisting (抵抗) will fail.
A famous psychologist Carl Jung said, “What you resist not only keeps staying there but will grow in size.” If resisting the bad habits is not only useless but harmful, then what should you do instead
One way is to change what you want on your own brain. It goes like this: when you want to do something that you shouldn’t do, don’t resist. Instead, replace.
Let me give you an example. My friend Jack had a strong habit that he tried to break—he couldn’t stop eating junk food. He fought with it for years using the “resist, resist, resist” way with results we can only guess at. Finally, he decided to try something different. Every time he felt that want, instead of trying to fight with it, he replaced the want with a drink of water! After a while, he found that the want slowly started to disappear (消失), until he forgot that it was ever even a thing.
I love this amazing idea! Getting a drink is just one choice. You could also try peeling an orange, going outside, doing a push-up, taking a walk.... You could try whatever works for you. It doesn’t matter what you do. Instead of resisting the behavior, just do something else.
16. Why does the writer talk about a little game at the beginning
A. To show how to play a game. B. To test readers’ math skill.
C. To introduce a theory. D. To help readers to relax.
17. What can we learn from Ironic Process Theory
A. It helps people solve their problems easily. B. Hard work to resist bad habits is very useful.
C. It tells people where their trouble comes from. D. Bad habits get stronger when people resist them.
18. What is “Jack’s want” in the passage
A. Eating junk food. B. Eating ice-cream. C. Picturing a white bear. D. Drinking some water.
19. The writer probably agrees that ______.
A. thought control comes with good effects on behaviors
B. doing something else helps to change bad habits
C. bad habits disappear when we try to forget them
D. the more we resist, the stronger mind we’ll have
