    The best colors for advertising are those that make people comfortable or stimulate (激发） their senses; knowing which color does that depends on what is being advertised.In general, color schemes (调配）contain three kinds: warm, cool and black and white.

    Warm Colors

    Bright red, orange, and yellow are warm colors, and they stimulate excitement.In fact, all advertisements and menus of fast food chains feature these colors.Warm colors are some of the best colors for advertising food as they are known to increase the appetite.

    A color scheme that includes warm colors also encourages people to stay longer.These colors stimulate warmth and comfort, and when people relax over dinner, they are more likely to enjoy a dessert or a cup of coffee, thus spending more money.

    Cool Colors

    Besides knowledge and understanding, some shades of blue are also associated with quiet.As a result, blue can actually slow a person's heart rate (比率)and reduce appetite, which is why it's not often chosen for restaurant advertising.On the other hand, blue is one of the best colors for advertising medicine and other health products. Light blue can have a calming effect on people and it is most often linked with health and healing(治愈）.However, it has been debated whether or not blue is one of the best colors for advertising online.Some people think it does not catch the readers attention fast enough or often enough.

    Black and White

    Black and white can be two of the best colors for advertising because they create a strong contrast when paired together.Black and white often indicate opposite emotions (情绪）:white is often linked with purity and perfection, while black usually represents power, eleganc-e, or evil (邪恶).When used together, however, black and white can create a sense that a company is highly professional (专业的）.

Last year, I decided to study in Thailand.I had planned to study an English-language master's program in America, but after comparing the expense, I changed my mind.

    The low cost was one of the biggest advantages of studying in Thailand. Base tuition (学费）for the program added up to $10,000, including a five-day study trip in China, two two-day trips for conferences and meeting and one field trip.I was fortunate to earn a scholarship that reduced my final bill to $7, 200.Most other English-language master programs in Thailand cost between $6,000 and 10,000 per year.

    I lived in a small studio apartment with free Wi-Fi for a total of around $167 per month, including water, electricity and limited cable TV.Meals at the university canteen, on the street or at small food shops cost between $1.00 and $1.50 , or between $1.50 and $2.00 at small food courts.With cheap and delicious food always easy to find, you didn't need to worry about cooking unless you wanted.

    Entertainment was also quite, cheap.A 330ml bottle of heer at a bar went for between $2.00 and $4.00, or between $1.00 and $1.50 from a Family Mart.A movie ticket was between $3.00 and S5.00.I stayed quite busy with study and didn't spend much, so I could get by on about $700 per month.Of course, it's possible to pick up a part-time teaching job to help reduce pressure brought by a lack (缺乏）of money, but you need to arrange a work visa (签证）with your employer.

    An allowance (零用钱）is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions.Children remember and leam from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.

    How large an allowance is proper? Experts say there is not right amount.Actual amounts differ from area to area, and from family to family.To set a right amount of allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget- Allow for entertainment expenditure such as movies and snacks.' Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, and school supplies."If you make the child responsible for these 4 bills', " says Josephine Swanson, a consumer (消费者）specialist, "he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditure."

    Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible.If you can, keep your child's allowance in line with that of his or her friends.A child whose purchasing (购买)power falls away below his or her friends' can feel left out.

    It can be hard, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance.When Brooke Stephens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, 1 - 75 of which was for bus fare and lunch."If you lose your money, "Brooke's mother told her, "you walk home."One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store; then she called home for a ride." Mom made me walk home, " recalled Stephens, now a financial (财务）planner in Brooklyn."At first I was angry.But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson."

    Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child's daily chores.Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family.You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home.That can develop his or her initiative (主动性).

    People say that because of globalization (全球化), American culture has taken over everywhere, but let's not forget that globalization works both ways.Some aspects of Asian culture have also made their way around the world, especially in the areas of spoils, film and food.

    In the 1970s, the films of Bruce Lee helped Lo create a worldwide interest in the martial arts (武术).Before Bruce Lee became popular in the West, not many people were familiar with the various types of martial arts.Now it's quite normal for children in many Western countries to take courses in martial arts after school.Many adults also learn these Asian fighting styles for fun or to improve their fitness.

    Bruce Lee's films also motivated a lot of interest in Asian films, especially action films, Jackie Chan and Jet Li followed in Bruce Lee's footsteps and are known all over the world.John Woo, famous for his Hong Kong action films, went on to work in Hollywood and many Western directors have copied his style.Western audiences also became interested in films by directors like Zhang Yimou, Ang Lee and like Chen Kaige.

    Food from Asia is also popular worldwide.You can get Chinese food in any major city in the world - although it might not taste like the Chinese food in China.People enjoy sushi and other Japanese foods.Sichuan, Thai, and Korean foods are popular with people who like it spicy and Vietnamese food is also well known.So, I guess we can't say that only "McDonald's" has made a trip around.
