Different colours can affect us in many different ways, according to Verity Allen. In her new series ‘ Colour me Healthy’, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and influence how healthy we are.
“Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things ?” says Verity. “ Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. For some reason we consider green products as being a bit unacceptable. It’s the same for businesses. We respect a company writing its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People designing new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.”
During the four-part series, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each programme. She meets people who work in all aspects(方面) of the colour industry, from people designing food packets(小包), to people naming the colours of lipsticks(口红). Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to support their ideas, such as the American “ Colour Doctor” who believes that serious diseases can be treated by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results.
In a word, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the series, it’s up to the viewers to make their own decisions about how much they should believe.

The tradition of birthday parties started in Europe a long time ago. It was feared that evil(邪恶的) spirits were particularly attracted to people on their birthdays. To protect them from harm, friends and family members would come to stay with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes. Giving gifts brought even more good cheer to keep away from the evil spirits. This is how birthday parties began.
The following are some countries’ birthday traditions:
Canada---Putting butter on the nose. In Atlantic Canada, the birthday child’s nose is put butter on for good luck.
China---Noodles for lunch. The birthday child pays respect to his / her parents and receives a gift of money. Friends and relatives are invited to lunch and noodles are served to wish the birthday child a long life.
England---Money cakes. Certain symbolic(象征性的) objects are mixed into the birthday cake as it is being prepared. If your piece of cake has a coin in it, you will be rich.
Ireland---Birthday bump(碰撞). The birthday child is lifted upside down and “ bumped” on the floor for good luck.
Italy---Pulling ears. The child’s ears are pulled as many times as how old he / she is turning.
Japan---New clothes. The birthday child wears new clothes to mark the occasion.
New Zealand---Birthday claps. After the candles are hit, the happy birthday song is sung loudly and often out of tune and then the birthday person receives a clap for each year he / she has been alive and then one for good luck.
The United States---Cake, candles and the birthday song. A cake is made, and candles are put on top based on how old the person is.

I am the mother of a five-year-old girl now, but I’ll never forget some of the best lessons my mother taught me.
Lesson 1---Always be there for your child
I can’t tell you the last time my parents missed a big event in my life; it never happened. Whether it was a play, or even just a practice---my parents were always there for me. As an only child, they cherished everything in my life.
Lesson2---Hide in the bathroom
For years I wondered why my mother had made the bathroom her own personal library and would stay there forever. Now I know it’s the only place for her to have at least two minutes of peace and quiet. Well, I try to, but that’s quite difficult with two cats, a dog, a kid, a husband and only one bathroom.
Lesson3---Get involved(参与)
I was lucky in having parents who let me do anything they think was good. Now today, I am fond of being active and involved. Whether it is a sports game or a volunteering group, or just playing with my daughter, I love to be involved.
Lesson4---It’s OK to fail
My parents weren’t perfect and that was OK. I know I’m not perfect and I hope my daughter knows that’s OK. Families love one another no matter what happens. If you fail, you learn from the mistakes and keep right on going.
Parents are so important to a child’s growth and development and I’m so glad that I had great parents to follow.
