Many now believe that colors can not only bring about emotional reactions, but can also correct mood. Colors behave in three basic ways: active, passive and neutral(中和的). Active colors are warm colors, including yellow, orange and red. These colors bring confidence. Warm colors can also bring cheerful attitudes. Yellows and golden colors work well in offices, kitchens and study areas. Reds heat up a room. Passive colors or cool colors make people calm, quiet and satisfied. Bedrooms, private areas and bathrooms are great places for blues and greens. Beige, gray and white are thought of as neutral colors. They help to put the focus on other colors or serve to tone down colors that might otherwise be overpowering on their own.You can easily change the look or feel of a room by making good use of different colors. Mixing and matching colors is an excellent way to balance color and emotion, and provide a weling feel for guests. To create a feeling of warmth and fort in a room, use bright, warm colors like yellow, orange and red. These colors are good choices for rooms that appear cool due to limited sunlight. Yellow adds cheerfulness to dull rooms. You can add yellows to rooms which are not closely related to happy thoughts, such as kitchens and laundry room. In rooms where theres plenty of sunshine, cool colors can provide a calming environment. Sage greens and sky blues are perfect for bedrooms, playrooms and activity areas. Neutral colors, such as pale gray, white and beige, send a peaceful message to your brain. Its not a coincidence that most doctors offices, coffee shops and mental health centers are decorated in neutrals. To make your wall color choices better, pick out furniture that will provide a visual contrast. Cool colors make a room seem larger than it is and warm colors make rooms feel smaller.Title: The 1._Between Colors And Moodmonly believed effects of colors2._emotional reactions and correcting

And then came the argumentsnot from teachers, but from parents. Some said they would transfer their children to another school. Some said they were finding online sources of homework for their children. They were not convinced of the explanation from Principal Jane Hsu about the negative effects of homework on young children, including lack of time for other activities and family time, and loss of interest in learning. Hsu suggested children should spend their time on activities that had been found to be good for their academic, social and emotional development.As a supporter of Hsus approach, I wonder how many of the parental arguments occur not because of what children will miss out on, but because parents themselves no longer feel confident about their ability to help their children develop without highly structured activities to guide them.Im reminded of a meeting at the school my younger daughter was about to start when she was 6. The head of the school met with parents to say that she was also considering doing away with homework. One mom objected because homework was her “special time” each day with her child when they could sit down together to go through the work. The head of the school appeared surprised at this. She gently suggested that the mother should read to her child, or that they should cook dinner together.Its been sad already to see that kids, between their structured soccer practices and their homework, have very little time to play. But its even sadder to see the parental nervousness about what might happen to a thirdgrader who has more time to create, think, read，interact with others, or imagine. What might happen, I believe, must be more happiness, more energy and better physical fitness.【解题导语】曼哈顿的一位校长通知家长她的学校将不再给学生布置家庭作业，此举在家长中引发了激烈的讨论。作者本人对这位校长的方法表示支持，并持乐观的态度。5From the passage, we know_Ateachers are strongly opposed to giving no homework to their studentsBthe idea of no homework has led to a heated debateCchildren greatly benefit from the idea of no homeworkDother activities have taken the place of the homework B解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的“And then came the argumentsnot from teachers, but from parents.”可知，不再布置家庭作业的做法在家长中引起了激烈的讨论，故选B项。6Why did one mom object to the idea of no homework for kids?AHer child might lose interest in learning.BHer child might have less time to think.CShe enjoyed the time doing homework with her child.DHomework is good for childrens academic development.C解析：细节理解题。由第三段中的“One mom objected.go through the work.”可知，与孩子一块儿做作业对这位母亲来说是件让她高兴的事，所以她反对取消家庭作业这一想法，故选C。7What is the authors attitude towards Principal Jane Hsus suggestion?AIndifferent.
