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? A scientist did many {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and found that different colors have different weights in a man's mind.

Also, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be {#blank#}6{#/blank#} by using the colors you like. 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.

When I was about ten, I was woken up by the shouts（喊声）of my sister one morning. She was hungry, but my mother wasn't at home, so I made a banana cake for her. Let me share the recipe with you.

What you need:

2 eggs  3 bananas  2 cups of flour(面粉)

2 spoons of baking powder(发酵粉)

1/4 spoon of baking soda (小苏打)

1/2 spoon of salt

2/3 cup of sugar

1/3 cup of vegetable oil(油)

What to do:

l  Mix(混合) together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.

l  Add the vegetable oil. Then add a little sugar, and stir (搅拌) it.

l  Pour the eggs into the bowl and stir them well.

l  Add the bananas and stir them.

l  Turn the oven to 180℃.

l  Pour them into the oven（烤箱）. Bake（烘焙） the cake for 20 minutes.

l  Get the cake out of the oven, and cut it into pieces to eat.

You might have seen beautiful rainbows in the sky before. They form when sunlight falls on water drops in the air. But in fact, moonlight can also create rainbows in the same way. They are called "moonbows". They are similar to rainbows, but they are created by moonlight. 

Moonbows are more unusual than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical (天文学的) conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created. The moon has to be very low in the sky — only 42 degrees from the horizon (地平线). The moon has to be a full moon or nearly full. The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly — any bright light can obscure it. Water drops must appear in the air in the opposite direction of the moon. Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to the human eye. This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye. 

Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world. Most of these locations usually have waterfalls, which create thin fog in the air. Some of these locations are the Yosemite National Park in California, Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky and Waimea in Hawaii, US. 

Moonbows do really happen. So at a certain time and a certain place, when a moonbow happens to appear, you can't miss it if you're right there.

 Do you know the Monkey Buffet(猴子自助餐) Festival? It is on the last Sunday of November. It is a great day for monkeys in Thailand. The festival is 35 years old. To thank monkeys, people have this special festival.

 On that day every year, people put lots of fruit, vegetables, cakes and even drinks on the tables outside. They are all for monkeys. Many people come to see the monkeys on that day.

During the festival, there are a lot of interesting activities about monkeys. Young people always dress(穿着) like monkeys and they play some music on the street.

 Monkeys eat fruit, vegetables and eggs. Monkeys are clever(聪明的). Do you think so?

Every month has its saying. But for some people, every month {#blank#}1{#/blank#} its color. January is white. White symbolizes(象征) a start to the New Year. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} is red and pink. It is the month of love. June is orange, symbolizing the start of summer. But they are not people's favorite months.

So what is their favorite month? October. The {#blank#}3{#/blank#} of October are orange and black. These two colors are also a part of Halloween(万圣节). {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is the color of pumpkins(南瓜) and black is a symbol for night. Just as the great writer L. M. Montgomery says," I'm so {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to live in a world where there are Octobers."
