A

Last night, on my way home I stopped because of being attracted by some hamburgers at a

fast food restaurant. On my way in, a homeless man approached me and asked, “Do you

have any bottles lying around?” I knew he would recycle them for a few cents, but I

didn’t have any, so I said no. And again he asked, “Can you spare some change?” I

smiled, and said no again. He was very respectful; he smiled back and said, “OK, thank

you.” Even though he didn’t have anything, he was still in good spirits. From the way

he spoke I could tell he was smart.

Then I bought one hamburger and enjoyed my meal, but in the back of my mind I wondered

whether the homeless man was hungry. After I finished my meal I decided to order another

one for him. At this point I didn’t know if he was still around, but I tried anyway.

At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, because it was cold

outside, and I thought it would help warm him up. They delivered me the hot chocolate

first and as I waited for my hamburger, I noticed the homeless man was standing right

beside me. I looked at him and smiled, “This hot chocolate is for you.” He replied

like a gentleman, “Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you.”

I always believe no matter how hard up I am, there are always those who are worse off

than I. When you help someone, it’s not always about money, it’s about love. The love

you give today, someone might forget tomorrow. It doesn’t matter. Love anyway, because

the greatest thing you can give is love.

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?

The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To

the

Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while

for

Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In

China,

children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For

many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often

wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸).

People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward

them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and

relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment

have

been found to have fewer stomachaches.

Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲).

Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many

commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color

that

easily catches a person’s eye.

Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if

you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.

The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room,

think about the color carefully.
