Different colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen. In a new programme “Colour me Healthy”, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are. 

“Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?” says Verity. “Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products(產(chǎn)品)as being a bit unpleasant. It’s the same for businesses. We respect a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design（設(shè)計(jì)）new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.”

During the programme, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each part. She meets people who work in the colour industry, from people who design food packages, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to prove their ideas, such as the American “Colour Doctor” who believes that serious diseases can be treated successfully by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results. 

Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the programme, it’s up to you to make your own decisions about how much you should believe.

While I was waiting to enter university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job wanted at a school about ten miles from where I   16   . Because I was in great need of   17   and wanted to do something useful, I applied（申請）.

Three days later, a letter   18   . It asked me to see the   19   at Croydon. It proved to be an    20   journey—a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at   21   a quarter of a mile. It was clearly that the headmaster himself opened the door. He was   22   and round.

“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys   23   seven and thirteen.”

I should have to teach all the   24   except art,   45   he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into   26   groups and teach them at three different   27   , and I was not   28   at the thought of teaching maths—a subject which I didn’t do very well in at school. It was   29   that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon because most of my friends would be   30   themselves at that time.

Before I had time to ask about my salary（薪水）, he got up to his feet. “ Now,” he said. “ you’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.

To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different.

Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers, only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three-year-old, ‘Go explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!”says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day… they will lose all taste of learning.” At Sudbury Valley School, you will find children talking, reading, painting, cooking, working on computers, studying French, playing the piano, climbing trees, or just running around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!

The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote (投票)each—even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school money, and even which staff they want and do not want anymore.

When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.

2.What do the students do in the school?
