  Billy is fourteen years old and in the ninth grade. He has a part-time job which gets him up every morning at five o'clock. He is a newspaper boy.

  Each morning, Billy leaves the house at 5:15 to go to the comer where the newspapers are. The newspapers were delivered to the corner by truck at mid-night. He always takes a wagon to carry them.

  In the winter it is still dark when he gets up, but during the rest of the year it is light. Billy must deliver the newspapers to the house of people on his route in all kinds of weather. He tried to put each paper on the porch where it will be protected from wind and rain or snow. His customers think that he does a good job. Sometimes they give him tips (extra money).

  Billy earns about $ 5 per month, and he is saving some of the money to go to college. He spends the rest on records and clothes. Once a month, he has to collect money from his customers. Since many of them work during the day, Billy has to collect the money at night. Sometimes, when Billy is sick, his older brother has to deliver the newspaper. Once, Billy's father had to help.

  There are many colours in nature.But do you know if a colour has weight?I think you'll say“no”.But I am afraid you are wrong.If you don't believe, you may do a small experiment.

  First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes.Then cover the box.Third, wrap(包)one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper.OK.Now hold the boxes before your hand one by one.It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.

  Why do you think so?A scientist found that colours, different, different, have, in, man's, mind, weight.① So he did many tests and at last he got the result.That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same.The h ________ colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.

  A scientist told us that colours also have s ________.Can you smell the colour?Of course not.Then why did the scientist say so?That is because every colour stands for(代表)a kind of light with a certain wave-length(波長).It reaches our brain through sense organs(感覺器官).

  According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept(接受)the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate.So your body and mind will be h ________ by using the colours you like.Or you'll be nervous or get ill.For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours.But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only one hour.Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall.That means our body temperature will change with different colours⑤.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容:

1.將畫線部分①連成賓語從句:________________

2.完成短文中所缺的單詞:②h ________; ③s ________; ④h ________
