Suppose( 设想 ) the year is 1666 and we can see a student called Isaac Newton. He’s away from his college for a holiday and at home with his family. Isaac Newton continues to study at home. He enjoys physics and thinking about the secrets of the world.

On a day there is rain and sun at the same time, he sees a beautiful rainbow in the sky. It has many different colors, he is told that there are five. Newton wants to have his own rainbow because he wants to look at it closely. He decides to do an experiment. On a sunny day he goes inside a small room and makes the room very dark. Then he makes a small hold and the sun comes inside, it’s a small ray of light. It’s white. Newton takes a prism( 棱镜 ) and holds it up to the light. The ray of light goes through the prism, but it isn’t white now --- there are many colors. The prism has split up( 分解 ) the whit into different colors: Newton has a rainbow.

Newton looks at his rainbow carefully. He can see more than five colors, he can see seven. He says the colors are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

But Newton is a scientist and he’s always very interested in how things work. He has his rainbow but he wants to know more. So he takes another prism and holds it up to the rainbow. The rainbow goes through the second prism, but it isn’t colorful now it’s white again. The prism has joined up the colors back into the white light. Newton is the first person to understand that light is a combination( 结合 ) of all the rainbow colors together.

He thinks yellow is the colour of the sun and it can remind him of a warm, sunny day. Yellow can also bring him wisdom. Mid-term exam is coming, he feels a bit stressed.
