It was Friday afternoon. After getting off the school bus, Laura ran into the house .

"How was school, Lara?" asked her mom.

"It was great, Mc. n. Labor Day (劳动节) is . I am excited that I will have no school next Monday!"

Laura was woken up early on Labor Day morning her dad. He said that in honor of(纪念)Labor Day, the family planned to do some cleaning. Laura couldn't believe it. She began to wonder this was just a bad dream.

"Laura, your breakfast is ready. We have many to do today. Let's get a move on, "said Laura's mom. Laura asked her parents, ""Are you serious about working today? Isn't Labor Day a holiday?"

"Yes, Laura, it is, "replied her dad. "But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you realize why Labor Day was in the beginning. "

Laura disliked the plan, she had no choice. First, she was asked to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, her dad told her to give their dog a bath. It was a hard task, which needed a lot of careful work. She began the work unhappily.

But things began to change as she was doing the chores. She found it was so with so many soap bubbles(泡泡) when she brushed the dog. Then it was yard work and she helped to pick up sticks. When she finished her chores, Laura felt happy to see the yard looked much than before.

What color is a tennis ball? Ask your classmates, and they might give you some  answers.

The Atlantic asked 30, 000 people this question. Among the people surveyed, 52 percent said tennis balls are green, 42 percent said yellow, and 6 percent said  else.

According to the International Tennis Federation, tennis balls  yellow. So, why do most people say that they're green?

When we  see an object in natural light, our brains recognize its true color. Even if the object in different kinds of light later, our brains can still tell its true color.  call this color constancy (色彩恒常性). For example, we know that China's flag is red. When we see it during sunset or under purple light, we still know that it is red, even if it looks like a different color.

However, the color of a tennis ball is not as pure (纯的) as the flag. It appears to be a mixture of yellow, a "warm" color, and green, a "cool" color.

The US-based magazine says that when  brains try to figure out what color the ball is, some people ignore (忽略) cool colors like green, blue and purple. So they see the ball as yellow.  ignore warm colors, such as red, yellow and orange. They see the ball as green.

It is not just tennis balls that make such confusion. In 2015, a girl  a picture of a dress online. Some people said the dress was black and blue  other people said it was gold and white. They had different opinions based on whether they ignored cool or warm colors.

— Hooray! ______, I was worried about it.

—________. I'm looking forward to it.
