Canada and the United States are two countries. They are on the same continent () next to each other and share (共有) the same language. These two countries also share in other wags. Canada buys many things from the U.S. Cars and clothes are two examples. The Unite States also buys Canadian made things. Much of the paper used in the United States comes from Canada. Some of the oil we use comes from Canada, too. Americans travel to Canada on holidays. And Canadians often visit the United States. Canadians read about the U.S. in newspapers and books. Americans watch Canadian sports played in the United States. There are important differences between the two countries. They are about the same size. But the U.S. has many more people. Because the number of people is smaller, there is more open space in Canada. There is more unused land. This is another important difference.

People choose colors when they buy things. Because of this, factories want to make things that are the colors people buy. For example, a car factory needs to know how many red cars or green ones they should make. Good businessmen (商人) know that young people’s colors are different from old people’s, and men’s are different from women’s. Young children react (反应) to the color of anything before they react to its shape. They like warm colors—red, yellow, and orange. When people get older, they begin to react more to the shape than color. The most liked color of grown-ups of all countries is blue. Their second loved color is red, and their third is green. On the whole, women like brighter colors than men do. Almost everyone likes red, but women like yellow and green more than men do. If two things are the same except color, they will look different. A red thing always looks nearer than a blue one just like bright things look larger than dark ones. That’s why large or fat people who want to look smaller or thinner wear dark clothes.
