In 1954，life magazine published（刊登） a report about school children who could not read．The report said many children's books were not interesting．Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read．He used words with the same ending sound，like fish and wish．He did not receive training in art．Yet，he drew the pictures for most of his books．

2．Some colors people see late at night could cause sings of clinical （臨床的）depression（沮喪）．That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings．They show that individuals（個(gè)人）who live or work in low levels of light overnight（整夜）can develop clinical depression．Doctors use the word"clinical depression"to describe severe from of depression．Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities，low energy levels and thoughts of death of suicide．
In the new study，American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters（倉(cāng)鼠）to different colors．The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal（夜行的），which means they sleep during the day and are active at night．
The animals were separated into four groups．One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period．Another group was placed in front of a blue light，a third group slept in front of a white light，while a fourth was put in front of a red light．
After four weeks，the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank．They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water．
Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University．He was animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed．"What we saw is that these animals didn't show any sleep uneasiness（不安）at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim（微弱）red light，they did not．"
Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive（感光）cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight．He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle．
