(2017·成都市第二次诊断性检测)Color is in everything we touch，taste，smell and feel.It evokes(唤起) emotion without any thought. 1 We are all familiar with it，but do you know the following facts?

Silver will save your life.When buying a new car and finding yourself facing various choices，you can't think clearly.Your best choice is to go with silver.Silver-colored cars are least likely to be involved in a car accident. 2 Another reason is the silver color's ability to have a look of cleanliness.

3 It is the color commonly used to help calm down those who are out of control.So it surely has a useful place and a purpose，other than decorating a dress or Barbie's dream house.

Yellow makes you hungry.Yellow and orange are not recommended for use in kitchens，as they have a positive influence on your appetite. 4 I'm not normally one for conspiracy(阴谋) theories—but perhaps there's something in it for them if we remain ignorant of yellow's effects.

Color is an imaginary friend.Technically，it's all in our heads：color does not exist at all. 5 So，if you start a heated debate over color combinations with someone that you are certain has a low IQ or is just color-blind，remember it's a pointless argument and you should drop it instantly.You're both wrong.

(2017·东北三省四市教研联合体模拟)As the saying goes，chance favored the prepared mind.I learned this from one of my experience.

I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our school.Because of this，I decided to give up play volleyball.Luckily，my best friend stopped me but pointed

out that it was my laziness and poor preparation which led to my failure.After that，I practiced playing volleyball on every day.When another chance of trying out arrived，I was full prepared and tried my best.As a result，I was selected and became an important player on our school team.

From this，I am firmly convincing that we are able to seize a chance as long as I get well prepared.
