    　　People have long thought that dinosaurs were brown or gray in color．To examine is one important way to find out the answer．The word“examine”is to look at or consider something in detail in order to discover something about them．After examining the remains(遗骸)of a dinosaur, scientists say they have found evidence it had bright-coloured feathers．The findings were printed in Science magazine．

    　　American and Chinese scientists did careful research and re-built the feathers of a flightless dinosaur．The small, two-legged creature(生物)lived about one hundred-fifty million years ago．It would have weighed only about one hundred ten grams．The dinosaur's remains were discovered in Liaoning Province in China．Researchers studied melanosomes(黑素体)in the feathers．These melanosomes are small, color-producing things, and they formed as the dinosaur was developing．The researchers compared them to the melanosomes that control the colour of feathers on modern birds．They were then able to make out the colors of the dinosaur feathers．The dinosaur appeared to have a dark gray or black body．The top of the creature was light brown in color．And, it had bright white wings．Each of the feathers had black on the end．

    　　Richard Prum, a biologist at Yale University, says the melanosomes were in very good condition．He says the dinosaur would be a beautiful creature if it were still alive．

    　　The discovery is useful to scientists in another way．It helps them better understand not only how dinosaurs looked but also how they lived in their daily life．Some researchers plan to use this way to study the colours of other feathered dinosaurs．

    A Lady Has a Problem with Her Daughter

    　　My nine-year-old daughter, Maria, is in Year Four. Every evening we get into homework battles（争执）. Three afternoons a week, she has activities (netball, singing) after school and by the time we get home, homework is the last thing she feels like doing. The other two days, she gets home early and we argue（争论）about whether she should do her homework right after school, or if she should have some time to play and rest first. When Maria at last sits down to do her homework, she seems to want me there helping all the time. I do want to help her, but I'm sure that she is going to need to be able to do it on her own. And in fact, most of the time, I have other things I need to be doing. It seems that children these days have much more homework than we did, and some of it is really beyond（超越）their abilities（能力）.
