What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life and excitement. Do you prefer gray and blue? Then you are probably a quiet, shy person and you would rather follow others. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see your success. These are what psychologists tell us because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference (Æ«°®), and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don¡¯t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened;your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green;one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.ª¥

Remember that if you feel low, you can always brighten your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. You will better know your friends and enemies when you find out what colors they like and;dislike. Don¡¯t forget that others can guess your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade (µÆÕÖ).

Vandalism is criminal damage to property (²Æ²ú). It includes breaking the windows of public or privately owned buildings, painting slogans on the walls of public places, breaking furniture, and many other forms of damage. Vandalism may be an act of revenge (±¨³ð) or a way of expressing a political opinion. Both young people and adults sometimes commit the crime for ¡°fun¡±. For example, football fans may tear down the goal posts after an important game.

In the United States, the damage caused by vandalism comes to millions of dollars every year. In most cases, the costs are paid by the business, school, or government that has been vandalized, or by individual victims (Êܺ¦Õß).

Vandalism is punishable by fine and imprisonment. A number of local governments have laws that hold parents responsible for vandalism by their children. But most acts of vandalism are not punished. Law enforcement is difficult, and the expense of repairing most individual acts of damage is not large enough to make legal action worthwhile.
