Scientists, doctors and mental health professionals have been studying the connection between colors and mood for years. Many now believe that colors can not only bring about 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 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 thoughts, such as kitchens and laundry room. In rooms where there's plenty of sunshine, cool colors can provide a calming environment. Sage greens and sky blues are perfect for bedrooms, playrooms and activity areas. Neutral colors, such as pale gray, white and beige, send a peaceful message to your brain. It's not a coincidence that most doctor's offices, coffee shops and mental health centers are decorated in neutrals.
To make your wall color choices better, pick out furniture that will provide a visual contrast. Cool colors make a room seem larger than it is and warm colors make rooms feel smaller.

［1］In a study likely to make school caretakers embarrassed, U.S. researchers said that chewing gum may help improve performances of teenagers. Many schools ban chewing gum because children often throw away the sticky chaw under chairs or tables. But the study found that students who chewed gum during math class had higher scores on a math test and better grades than students who did not chew gum in the class.
［2］“For the first time, we’ve been able to show in a real-life kind of situation that students did perform better when they were allowed to chew,”said Gil Leveille, director of the Wrigley Science Institute. Wrigley has gotten feedback from many of its gum customers who say chewing gum helps them stay focused.
［3］The researchers studied four math classes（108 students aged 13 to 16）.About one half got free Wrigley’s sugar-free gum to chew during class, homework and tests. They chewed at least one stick of gum 86 percent of the time they were in math class and 36 percent of the time they were doing homework. The other half_____________.
［4］After 14 weeks, the gum chewers had a 3 percent increase in their math scores on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills achievement test, a small but significant change. As a matter of fact, the gum chewers did get better final grades in the class than their non-chewing peers.
［5］Leveille said chewing gum helps reduce stress, so students can do their best work. And while he is aware that many schools have a dim view on students’ chewing gum in class, he hopes the findings may change that a bit.
［6］“It’s not a matter of chewing. It’s a matter of gum disposal（处理），”Leveille said, adding that it can be overcome by teaching proper disposal methods. If that failed, he joked, “We’ll have to provide the cleaners with scrapers（刮刀）”
