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 (使柔和) 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 welcoming feel for guests.to create a feeling of warmth and comfort 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

underwater airplanes. and their noses are shaped like chainsaws.sawfish are food hunters of the sea. when a sawfish is hungry, it waves its sharptoothed snout (口鼻部) through a group of fish. then, it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.hardy (适应力强的) population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the world for thousands of years. over the past 200 years, however, human actions have severely endangered sawfish. threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals, often by mistake.some people collect sawfishs snouts as prizes: one snout recently sold for nearly $1,600 online. in some asian cultures, the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away. and sawfish are also delicious. a growing demand in asia for the fishs fins for a pricey (高价的)soup has contributed to the fishs loves. compared with other fish, sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates, which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.new efforts now aim to restore sawfish population. beginning next month, an international agreement will provide protection for all seven of the worlds sawfish species. scientists are hoping that its not too late to save the sawfish.until 1998, “this fish had never been formally studied in the united states, ” says tonya wiley of the mote marine laboratory in sarasota, fl. “we didnt know such basic things as where they live, what habitat they use, how often they breed, how many young they have even what age sawfish are when they begin breeding.”through historical studies and field research, scientists have become aware of how much the fishs numbers have decreased. today, there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be. wiley estimates that only 3, 000 to 6, 000 sawfish remain in us waters.title: sawfishsize over 1._appearance body: 2._ nose: like a chainsaw3._ of hunting for foodattacking fish with 4._drawing the injured victims with its mouth 5._ of

feel back to normal for hours or even for days. migraine headaches are most common among young adults and middleaged people. in the united states, about eighteen percent of women and six percent of men report having migraines. people who suffer from migraines can find that different “triggers” in different people may get a headache started. stress can act as a trigger. many migraine sufferers say hot weather and low barometric pressure(低气压)can act as triggers, but researchers say they did not have much scientific evidence of that until now. in a new study, a team examined the medical records of seven thousand hospital patients. the patients had visited the emergency room at beth israel deaconess medical center in boston, massachusetts, because of a headache. more than two thousand of them had been found to have a migraine. the team then compared those records to weather conditions in the twentyfour hours before the hospital visits. for every increase of five degrees celsius in air temperature, the patients had a seven and onehalf percent higher risk of migraine. decreases in barometric pressure two to three days before the visit also appeared to cause headaches. a separate study has found that age, gender and where a person has extra body fat may affect the risk of migraine. it found that overweight people between the ages of twenty and fiftyfive may have a higher risk. on average, those who were larger around the middle were more likely to have migraines than those of the same age with smaller waistlines(腰围). experts suggest that losing weight in the stomach area may help younger people who experience migraines, especially women. doing exercises regularly is also helpful to reducing migraine headaches. title: 1. _2. _ 3. _ not feel back to normal for hours or
