【推荐1】When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend for new clothes. Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale(销售).

There are labels(标签) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash by washing in cold water. The label on a coat may say "dry clean only". Washing may ruin(损坏) this coat. If you do as the directions(说明) say on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best. Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check(核实) to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.

You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not always better made. They do not always fit(合身) better. Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.

Human skin can be many different colors and it changes with the sun, our feelings or our health. This is because of pigments(色素). And they reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red. This is why we have the expression that someone “sees red” when they are angry.

Plants also have pigments. Color is important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects. And then they carry their pollen(花粉) from one flower to another. Bees(蜜蜂) can see colors humans cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.

Animals also use colors for their own need. They protect themselves with different colors so that they won’t be seen by predators. Take the hare (a type of wild rabbit) for example. It changes colors with seasons for this reason. During summer it is a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use colors as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way. Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colors to attract(吸引) the animals they feed on.

So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of color in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure. Color not only makes our planet beautiful but it is also necessary for our planet to live on.
