The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors.
There can be many different colors in human skin and it changes with the sunshine, our feelings or our health. This is because of pigments (色素), which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. When we feel excited or angry, the heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red.
Plants also have pigments. Colors are important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects, which then carry their pollen (花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colors we cannot see, and they follow them to the inside of flowers. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.
Animals also use colors for their own needs. They protect themselves with different colors so as not to be seen by predators. The snowshoe hare, a kind of wild animal, changes colors with seasons for this reason. During summer it has a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use colors as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way, Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colors to attract the animals they feed on.
So, we can see that there are many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of colors in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure. Colors not only make our planet beautiful, but they are also necessary for our planet to live on.

With the rapid development of the Internet, some students lose themselves in the Internet. In order to keep their children away from the Internet, some parents don’t allow them to use mobile phones on weekdays. On weekends and holidays, children are only limited (限制) to an hour a day for the Internet. What’s your opinion about this?
Some children need to use screens for homework. And many of them need to talk to friends online. It’s not fair to students who are careful with their screen time.
—James
I think parents should limit screen time for kids. Too much screen time can lead to tiredness and less social time. People who use smart phones for long are more likely to (更有可能) get into car accidents. Electrical products like computers can also be harmful to kids. If kids aren’t careful with the websites they use, someone will get their important information.
—Maria
A study from a university says screen time might be less harmful to kids than people think. Some parents worry that children online too much won’t make friends. But the study reports that screen time can actually improve kids’ friendships. In fact, screen time can be educational. I use websites to read and to learn math.
—Linda
Many students spend too much time on their phones. This hurts their eyes and wastes their time. Surfing the Internet for long can influence kids’ learning and social skills. If parents limit screen time, children will be encouraged to spend more time with their family.They might join a sports team in their neighborhood.
