What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an active person who enjoys life. Do you like blue? Then you may be quiet, shy and prefer following to leading.

Colours influence our moods. There is a relationship between colours and moods. A yellow room makes people feel cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings us warmth and joy on the saddest winter day. Black is depressing (令人压抑的). There was a black bridge over River Thames. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than that on any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green.

Light and bright colours make people not only happier but also more active. In the factory, the workers will work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black.

In the Maths class, my red mood changed to black, because I failed the exam. When I got the exam paper, I couldn’t stop crying. But Mr Li told me to keep on studying hard.

Suddenly, Jim got stuck in the mire (陷在泥里). At that moment, Mike saved him. After Jim felt better, he wrote on a stone: Today my best friend saved my life.

Mike saw this, and asked, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand. After I saved you, you wrote on a stone. Why?”

Jim answered, “When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand. Then winds of forgiveness (宽恕 ) can blow it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave (铭刻) it in stone, then no wind can ever blow it away.”
