Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time.
29、They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migra
30、tion (迁移) is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon“. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a k
31、ind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year, w
32、hen the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean.

Researchers in psych
36、ology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociabl
37、e people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting, but one researcher says
38、that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices
39、 of factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors re

43、ays.D.People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.DCulture determines what kind of thinking is important and what kind is not so important. Learners use the language, tools, and practice their culture to learn concepts. Although students have their individual learning styles, the
44、ir learning styles are often combined with cultural values. For example, Navajo (North American Indians living in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah) children often learn first by observing and listening. Then, when ready, they continue learning on their own in cooperation with and under the supervision
45、of an adult. In this way, the children learn all the skills they need. Navajo children speak very little during this process. In contrast, many African American children learn effectively by acting and performing. They like classroom activities such as oral presentations, role-plays, and dramatic pe
46、rformances. Lots of talking is useful for these students. Another way of learning is through reading and writing. Asian students generally need writing to support their learning, and therefore do well in classes where there is lots of reading and writing. It is common to see Japanese students pay sp
47、ecial attention to the spelling of words they have learned. They are more comfortable seeing new materials than hearing them. Koreans are believed to be the most visual (can be seen) learners.
