Color is the key answer. Yes, green and blue can help people feel quiet and safe.

All colors have their magic. Scientists have discovered that many colors can affect people's thoughts and feelings in strange ways.

Try a simple and fun experiment and you can see how colors can often "mislead" you. Wrap two boxes of the same size, one red and the other white, in colored paper. Then use your hands to weigh the two boxes.

Which is heavier? Most people would think that the red box is heavier, even though they are just as heavy.

Colors can affect learning. Scientists have found that students spend more time reading information if they read the text in blue. Blue helps most people think more calm down

In our daily lives, we can see the clever use of color everywhere. Hospitals and libraries hardly paint their walls, tables, and desks red. They use light colors, such as blue and green.

Red makes people feel excited, while light colors make them relax. Do you understand how color affects your daily life? Start in your little room.

Try to make some changes to it, and you'll see how important color is.

What will life look like in the future? I think the future is where we can travel around the world, even the universe, faster and safer. Maybe one day we will live in Chengdu, work in Beijing, and go on vacation to the moon.

We will have a new energy source that will not cause environmental pollution. Perhaps, people will also find cleaner energy sources, such as seawater, which will not pollute the earth's environment if it is used to generate electricity. In the future, we will have a smart machine that can copy anything, and if you put a piece of cake on it, it will immediately make you a new cake; This machine is like a fax, we can easily send food and gifts to our friends through it.

In the future, we will also have intelligent robots that will work for us, they will sift through useful things for us, and throw away some useless garbage, and we only need to press a switch or enter a command, and they will work for us. And in the future, all the robots we think will be realized for us, and the robots will understand our ideas!

We can also get into computer games and movies, and everything will feel real to you; We can build our home into a forest, a sunny beach, or whatever else we want. Perhaps, one day we will include our dreams in ***!

Sunday morning, after a strong ** hit on Indonesia and a large tsunami. They soon had a presence on other countries in South and Southeast Asia as well as in East Africa. Tsunamis are particularly dangerous for children, most of whom are between the ages of 5 and 12.

In the open sea, the tsunami is only one meter or two meters. When they come to the nearby land, they get up to 10 meters. The sea near the house and car can take away these big waves.

Because tsunamis move quickly and can reach the other side of the sea in a day, they can affect many places. The Pacific Ocean has a lot of powerful tsunamis because of the size of the ocean and the size of the **. China does not see tsunamis, often because its seabed is relatively flat.

The islands around China also protect the country from the tsunami. According to a report by China ** Friday, December 31, 2004. Look

Some inventions are so useful, but they seem so simple, then we don't know why no one has thought of them for a long time. An example of sticky note paper – pieces of paper that you can don't, and then removed anywhere without leaving any indication that they were there – is one such invention.

Immediately sticky note paper about twenty years ago invented the art of frying, 3 m company scientists. The idea came from a frustrating experience (product) that he often sang in his church choir (choir). Fry bookmarks with scraps of paper to mark the place in his book for songs, but these bookmarks always fall off.

He knows he needs a bookmark and will stay on him to put it, but he can delete the page without harm.

In that period of the fierce tan, fried new adhesive (I heard about a colleague adhesive) (colleague), Dr. Spencer Silver, created. This special day, because it's the adhesive sticky, but not too bad. It's enough to hold on tightly to the ** together, but none of the brands are too weak to tear that ** when it's removed.

Seeing the new adhesive ** can help solve the problem with his bookmarks. One morning, fry some adhesive on the edges of a piece of paper. As he hoped, it makes a perfect bookmark.

After just a short time, Fry realized that his new invention was even more useful than being a great bookmark. When he came to this realization, he wrote a note on which he rented a new "bookmark", see attachment) to which there was a report that he wanted a branch mold for a colleague of mine. Soon a colleague asked to fry more samples for his invention so that they could use the new type of note itself.

Fried, others believe that in 3 m so many new products that they persuaded the company to abandon thousands"Sticky"paper"Specimen use. When some salespeople went to the office at 3 m and showed how to help the workers with new notes can, they immediately received a lot of orders. As more and more people find useful stand-up sticky note paper, products can take off.

Even experienced campers can sometimes get lost and stay in marked places to prevent further loss. Bring a notebook and pencil with you to take notes, and use a compass so you know which direction you're going. To find the way with a compass, you have to know which direction you are going to go.

Before leaving the campsite, find a large nearby landmark to mark the campsite, the campsite is in the opposite direction of the landmark, if your compass shows that you are heading west, then in which direction should you go in order to get back to the campsite? East.

If you are really lost, don't panic. Panic is the worst thing that can happen. People know that panicked people walk in big circles, but they don't realize it themselves, they exhaust themselves and can't get back on track.

If it's late and others know you're hiking outside, stay put. Someone will come to you soon.

If it's still early and you want to try to find your way back, leave a mark to mark where you've walked. Tie a handkerchief to a branch or pile up a pile of stones wherever you walk. If you wear a pen and a notebook, write a note and place it on a tree, noting the time, date, and circumstances of your loss and the direction you are taking.

If you get lost at night, light two campfires and stay closer. The smoke from the two slaves next to each other is a distress signal, and wanderers and campers will be able to recognize and respond to the fire, and they will locate the location of your smoke and come to find you.

Even very experienced campers occasionally get lost. To avoid getting lost, remember to stay on the marked trail and bring a notebook and pencil to take notes. Use the compass to determine the direction.
