Every year, on the fourth Thursday in April, millions of young girls go work. This is Take Our Daughters to Work Day. Th

38、e girls are between the ages of 9 and 15. They spend the day at work with an adult, usually a mother, father, aunt, or uncle. They go to offices, police stations, laboratories, and other places where their parents or other family members work. Next year, the day will include sons, too.The Ms. Founda

39、tion, an organization for women, started the program about ten years ago. In the U.S., many women work outside the home. The Ms. Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs. Then, when the girls grow up, they can choose a job they like.Caras father is a film director. Cara

40、 says, “ It was very exciting for me to go to the studio with my dad. I saw a lot of people doing different jobs. ” Many businesses have special activities for girls on this day. Last year, Cara went to work with her aunt at the University of Massachusetts. In the engineering department, the girls l

41、earned to build a bridge with toothpicks and Candy. In the chemistry department, they learned to use scales.

44、 Our Daughters to Work DayC. Childrens Day and Work Day D. Ms. Foundation, an Organization for Women(B)Nervous suspects(嫌疑犯)locked up in Britains newest police station may feel relieved by a pleasant yellow colour on the door. If they are close to confessing a crime, the blue on the wall might tip t

45、he balance.Gwent Police have abandoned colours such as greys and browns of the 20th-century police cell（牢房）and have used colour psychology to decorate them.Ystrad Mynach station, which recently opened at a cost of 5 million, has four cells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobi

46、a（ 幽闭恐怖症 ）. Designers have painted the frames yellow, which researchers say is a calming colour. Other cells contain a royal blue line because psychologists believe that the colour is likely to encourage truthfulness.The station has 31 cells, including 12 with a“live scan ” system for drunken or dis

47、turbedprisoners, which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm alerts officers if a prisoners breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened.Designers and psychologists have worked for years on colour. Blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency, duty, logic, coolness, thin

48、king and calm. It also suggests coldness and unfriendliness. It is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft colours will calm the mind and aid concentration.Yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness. Get the colour wrong and it could cause fear,

49、depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect.Ingrid Collins, a psychologist who specializes in the effects of colour, said that colour was an “energy force ”. She said:“Blue does enhnaicnacteiocnobmumtIuam not sure it would enhancetruthful communication.”Yellow, she

50、 said, affected the mind. Red, on the other hand, should never be considered because it could increase aggression. Mrs Collins praised the designers for using colours in the cells. Gwent is not the first British force to experiment with colour to calm down or persuade prisoners to co-operate. In the

51、 1990s Strathclyde Police used pink in cells based on research carried out by the US Navy.69.
