I Reading comprehension.
Do you find it hard to remember words? Perhaps you think writing stories or drawing pictures is also difficult. Well, try to paint your room in different colors, and it may help!
Scientists have discovered that colors influence people’s minds. People did tests with either red or blue computer screens. One group of the test-takers used red screens and were found later to score higher on memory tests while the other group used blue screens and were found to be more creative.
It sounds strange, but it surely makes sense（讲得通）. What are some common red signs? Think about fire trucks, stop signs, and your teacher’s red pen. These things make us alert to danger or mistakes, so we pay attention and remember them. Blue things, like a peaceful blue sky or a sea view, calm us. When we are relaxed, our imagination wakes up and helps us be more creative.
It’s time to put away your yellow highlighter（荧光笔）. Use a red pen when you need to remember facts and details（细节）. Switch to a blue pen when you need to create new ideas. If you follow this piece of advice, you may pass your next test with flying colors!
