There are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight? Let's do a test.

First, put two objects with the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap (包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other with white. Now hold the boxes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} your hand one by one. Which one is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ? It is certain that you will think the red one is heavier. Why do you think so?

Or you'll be nervous {#blank#}7{#/blank#} even get ill. For example, you {#blank#}8{#/blank#} blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows and wallpaper for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for {#blank#}9{#/blank#} hours. But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only an hour, And, if a person walks {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.

Did you watch the 19 Asian Games opening ceremony in Hangzhou on September 23rd, 2023? Were you surprised when the final torchbearer (火炬手) Wang Shun and the digital (数字的) torchbearer lit the main torch together?

Sha Xiaolan, the chief producer (总制片人) of the opening ceremony, said, "We've fully integrated (融入) AR and 3D technologies into the opening ceremony. This was probably the greatest integration of technology into something like an opening ceremony of this kind."

The opening ceremony started from the Kongming Lanterns at the beginning. In between, there were shows of the three mascots through 3D technology. And you could enjoy the digital fireworks and digital torchbearer in the end.

"You saw a little of such technologies during the closing ceremony at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. But now we have better techniques and creativity." Sha said. "We integrated these technologies into the ceremony to show that Hangzhou is trying its best to hold environmentally-friendly Asian Games. We were improving and making things better," Sha said. "I think the opening ceremony is beyond our expectations."
