中Passage One
At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls ontwo groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; forthe second, dark brown. Movement of each group was follo, w~ed by an electrical equipment under thecarpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown room walked more quickly,covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown madepeople more active,but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the generalappearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs offaces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown thesame photos, but each group was in an ordinary room--a nice office. The third was in a tastefully de-signed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to givehigher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies suggest that students do bet-ter on tests taken in comfortable rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly ones.

Passage Two
There are many commonly held beliefs about eyeglasses and eyesight that are not proven facts.For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evi-dence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing thewrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but chil-dren can develop loss of vision if they have the wrong glasses.
We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believethat reading in dim light causes pool eyesight, but that is unique. Too little light makes the eyes workharder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, andwatching too much television. But, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does notpermanently damage eyesight.
Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another.There are close to one million nerve fibers that connect the eyeball to the brain,~d as if yet it is im-possible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye--the cornea and the reti-na-can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some-day a full transplant may be possible!
