Passage 2
Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it』s chance in million.
People have made a survey of colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and found that only eight of them are black.
As we know, sunlight is formed (形成) by seven different colored lights. The wave length (波長) of each light is different, so the quantity (量) of heat in each light is also different. Flowers especially their petal (花瓣), are easy to be harmed (傷害) by high temperature.
