Many scientists find that colors can change people's feelings. It's very interesting. Some colors can make people feel relaxed, and some colors can make people feel nervous. Now, this kind of knowledge is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students' eyes. Some books are also green or light blue for the same reason. Restaurant owners not only have to know how to make food, but also have to know how to make money. Here are some things they've learned from scientific studies. The color red makes people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colors like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed, so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first, but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.
①Play loud music. ② Play soft music.
③Have hard seats. ④Paint their walls red.
Wind is a powerful force in nature. Wind energy may cause great waves in the world's oceans. Its power can be used to create electricity for cities and the countryside.
Wind can also power many expressions in American English. Let's start with a simple one. If you run like the wind, you can run very fast. After running, sometimes you can be full of energy.
If you are doing something difficult, it is good to have the wind at your back, for example, when you are sailing. In this way, it is easier to go forward.
Knowing the direction of the wind is one of the most important parts of sailing. When wind fills a sail, it makes the boat go faster. If you take the wind out of someone's sails, you prevent them from reaching their goals.
Let's turn from sailing to music. Many songwriters use the image of wind in their songs. If an idea is blowing in the wind, it is under discussion but has yet to be decided. When a singer sings"you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", he means you know what is going on, and he tells you to trust yourself as you can find something out on your own.
Now you know which way the wind blows. Then how can you use these expressions properly? First, read them aloud and keep them in mind. Then, practice using them and test yourself. You know, practice makes perfect.

Our English teacher Mrs. Wang let us do an English project—researching the Chinese traditional festivals. Here are two groups' reports about it.
The subject we've chosen is Lantern Festival. We've collected much information about the festival by doing some reading in the library. Lantern Festival has a history of about 2, 000 years. It's celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar (阴历) month. People get together to enjoy colorful lanterns and play riddle (谜语) games. Small gifts are usually offered when they get right answers. It's a tradition to eat tangyuan on this special day. As for the next step, we will make our own lanterns and make some English riddles. This will help us understand the meaning of the festival better. | Linda:

We learned about Dragon Boat Festival. To do the research, we searched for information online and visited a local museum about culture and customs. We've learned a lot about the festival. With a history of about 2,000 years, Dragon Boat Festival falls on the 5th day of the fifth lunar month. People usually celebrate it by watching boat races. Zongzi is the most traditional food that is eaten to honour the great poet Qu Yuan. Next, we plan to learn how to make zongzi, and produce an English video to make the festival known by more people around the world. | John:
