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 environments have been found to have fewer stomach aches.
Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, may commercial websites will have s 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.

Ⅳ 阅读表达（10分）
Many Americans youngsters earn their allowance by doing temporary jobs for their neighbors. Babysitting is one of the common of these jobs. Most couples do not have maids or relatives living with them, and they need have someone watch the children if they want to go out. Another way is by mowing lawn in summer and clearing snow from side-walks and driveways in winter. Many people mow their own lawns, but often people prefer to give the job to a neighbor’s child. In winter, snow clearing from streets and highways is the government’s responsibility. Homeowners, tenants or owner, must clear side-walks and driveways. Since clearing snow is very tiring, many people prefer to hire teenagers for this job rather than do to themselves. Besides, many American teenagers usually work two or three hours after school and all day on Saturday or Sunday at supermarket. They work as cashiers or stockroom clerks. Or they help customers carry their goods to their cars. Other favorite jobs are waiting on tables in restaurants or working part-time at stores or gas stations. By earning their own allowance(零花钱，津贴)，teenagers acquire a feeling of in dependence and a sense of responsibility which prepares them for a productive life in society.

2. How do American youngsters earn their allowance?
3. When it comes to clearing snow, what do many people like to do?
