Colors can change the way people feel, even when they do not notice it. Many people say that blue is a quiet color which helps them feel calm, but too much blue may also make them feel down.
Red is a strong color that can make people excited, and sometimes it can even make them angry. That is why many fast food restaurants use red walls: people who sit there eat fast and leave soon. In many parts of Asia, red means good luck, so people wear it at weddings and on holidays.
Bright yellow, on the other hand, is like the sun. Doctors say that it can make a dark room feel warm and happy. So the next time you paint your room, think about your emotions before you choose a color.
顏色可以改變人的感覺，即使人們沒有注意到。很多人說藍色是安靜的顏色，能讓人覺得平靜，但太多藍色也可能讓人心情低落。
紅色是強烈的顏色，能讓人興奮，有時甚至會讓人生氣。這就是為什麼很多速食店用紅色的牆：坐在那裡的人吃得快、很快就離開。在亞洲許多地方，紅色還代表好運，所以人們在婚禮和節日時會穿紅色。
另一方面，亮黃色就像太陽。醫生說它能讓昏暗的房間感覺溫暖又快樂。所以下次你要粉刷房間時，選顏色之前先想想你的情緒吧。
Dear Kevin,
I am writing to say sorry. Last Friday I was mad at you in the classroom, and I said something bad about the picture that you had worked on for a whole week. I was not really angry with you. That morning I got a low grade on my math test, which I had studied hard for, and I felt down all day. I let my anger come out at the wrong person.
When I saw your sad face, I was shocked at myself, because you are my best friend and I do not want to lose you.
Can we eat hamburgers at our usual place after school tomorrow? I will pay this time. If you are still mad at me, I will understand, but please write back any time.
Ted
親愛的凱文：
我寫信是要跟你道歉。上星期五我在教室裡對你發脾氣，還說了你那張畫了整整一星期的畫的壞話。我其實不是在氣你。那天早上我那次很用功準備的數學考試考得很差，一整天心情都很低落。我把怒氣發洩在錯的人身上。
當我看到你難過的臉，我對自己感到很震驚，因為你是我最好的朋友，我不想失去你。
明天放學後我們可以去老地方吃漢堡嗎？這次我請客。如果你還在生我的氣，我能理解，但請隨時回信給我。
泰德
Stress Less Week
Do you often feel nervous before tests, or do you stay up until midnight and then feel sleepy in class? You are not alone. Last term, twelve out of every twenty students in our school said that they had too much stress.
Next week, our school will hold Stress Less Week. Every day at lunch time, students can come to the library and try a new hobby, such as drawing, playing chess, or making paper flowers. On Friday, a teacher from an international school, who has helped many students with this problem, will talk about ways to sleep better.
Here are some tips: Go to bed before eleven, and take a walk after dinner. When you feel afraid or sad, talk to people you trust. Do not keep your feelings inside!
減壓週
你常常在考試前感到緊張，或是熬夜到半夜，然後上課打瞌睡嗎？你並不孤單。上學期，我們學校每二十位學生中就有十二位說自己壓力太大。
下星期，學校將舉辦減壓週。每天午餐時間，學生可以到圖書館嘗試新的嗜好，例如畫畫、下棋或做紙花。星期五，一位曾幫助許多學生面對這個問題的國際學校老師，會來談如何睡得更好。
這裡有幾個建議：十一點前上床睡覺，晚餐後去散散步。感到害怕或難過時，找你信任的人聊一聊。不要把感受藏在心裡！
