  Why do you think so?A scientist found that colours, different, different, have, in, man's, mind, weight.① So he did many tests and at last he got the result.That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same.The h ________ colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.

  A scientist told us that colours also have s ________.Can you smell the colour?Of course not.Then why did the scientist say so?That is because every colour stands for(代表)a kind of light with a certain wave-length(波長).It reaches our brain through sense organs(感覺器官).
