Our clothes can make us feel better about ourselves. One way is wearing different colors of clothes.
Normally when we are sad, we’ll wear dark-colored clothes. But when we are happy, we often choose to wear brightly colored clothes. Because our choice of color mirrors (反映) how we are feeling.
Some people don’t believe the idea. They often say, “If only this truly worked”. Well in reply (回答) to these people, there has been a lot of research (研究) into what happens to someone’s feeling when they are asked to wear just one color of clothes. It shows that wearing particular (单独的) colors of clothes can change our feelings.
Suppose we are feeling sad, we may feel worse if we wear black. And if we wear green, red or yellow, we may begin to feel better.
It’s said that each color has its own healing power(治疗作用). If we are wearing red, we should feel we have more energy. If we are wearing green, we should feel we are more peaceful(平静的). If we are wearing black, we should feel safer.
So remember, if you are not feeling at your best, you can always try out some different colored clothes. Maybe one color has no effect on your feelings, but another will.
Read the passage and choose the best answers.
1.          can make us feel better about ourselves.
 A. Wearing the same colors of clothes       B. Sharing your feeling with others
 C. Wearing different colors of clothes       D. Helping others
2. When we feel       , we often choose to wear brightly colored clothes.

4.We feel more          if we are wearing green.

 (iii)
Dear Mom,
   I don’t think you understand my life. You hope I’m studying all the time. You never think about my feelings. I study hard at school all day. When I get home at night, you still ask me to study, even on weekends. You know, everyone has his own interests and sometimes he should relax himself, like watching TV, listening to music or taking exercises. But you don’t allow (允许) me to do so. Two days ago, when I was watching a football game on TV, you asked me to stop to do my homework. After finishing my homework, still I wasn’t allowed to read any magazines. You said I had to go to bed early. I know you want me to find a good job when I grow up, but I would like to have a wonderful time, too. I promise (发誓) I will try my best, but I hope you can leave me a relaxed mood.
Love,
Zhang Jun
