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 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 environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches。
Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly， many commercial websites will have a 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.
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room， think about the color carefully。

A survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport.
According to the results of an international passenger survey， Australians are the biggest drinkers on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch， compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits。
The Airline Passenger Experience Association（APEX) spoke to around 1,500 people, aged 18 and older, who have traveled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany， Japan， China， Singapore， Australia and Brazil。
