Letting kids learn more about science at an early age is easier than you think. It is happening
all around us, and you can1everyday things to encourage your children's interest.
Most parents believe it is difficult to help their children with science. But you don't need a
high scientific 2to teach your children science. All you need is that you're willing to try, to see the
world, and to 3
the time to encourage their natural curiosity(好奇心).
You can help by having an active attitude towards science yourself. Then start4by asking your
children questions about the things you see every day. And then listen to their answers without judging(评
判)them, which will5
their confidence, and help you decide just what your children know or do not know.
Different kids have different interests, 6they need different kinds of science projects. Collecting
rocks may interest your young daughter, but your older son may need something more to deal with it. Knowing
your children is the best way to7enjoyable learning activities. Here are some more pieces of advice：
Choose activities that are the right8of difficulty. If you are not sure, pick something easier.
Read the suggested ages on any projects, books, and then make sure that the activity is9for your
child. Let your child choose the project or activity himself. It's easy enough to ask rather than force
him. Suggest choosing 2 or 3 things your child can do. When a child picks something he is10in, he will
enjoy it and learn more from it.

What is your favorite color? 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 are probably quiet, shy, and would rather follow than
lead.
Colors do influence our moods(情绪). A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more
relaxed than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On
the other hand, black is depressing(令人压抑的). There was a black bridge over the Thames River, near
London. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than on any other
bridge in the area-until it was repainted green.
Light and bright colors 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.
（1）An active person may like __________.
A . yellow, orange, or red
B . yellow, black, or red
C . orange, blue, or black

（2）Most people feel more __________ in a yellow room than in a dark green one.
A . Tired
B . bored
C . relaxed
D . depressed
（3）Why did most people probably kill themselves on the black bridge than on any other bridge?
A . Because the bridge was too crowded.
B . Because the bridge was too long.
C . Because people didn't like the bridge.
D . Because the color of the bridge was depressing.
（4）In the factory, when the machines are painted orange, the workers will work.
A . worries
B . harder
第9 页共24 页
C . more slowly
D . more silently
（5）Which could be the best title for the passage?
A . Your Favorite Color
B . Light Colors
C . The Color of Bridge
D . The Secret of Color
