hear someone saying "She is a typical (典型的) Australian" or "He is so French". It seems that people
from a certain country share certain similar characteristics.
French
French people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life, food and
wine. They are good at singing and dancing.
Chinese
Chinese are friendly people who are hard-working. They are polite because they are careful about
"saving face" when dealing with other people.
Australians
Australians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh
a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.
Germans
Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay
a lot of attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.
All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you
might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is
shy and quiet.!

| Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the color of most growing plants, too. Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war (战争). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job. About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didn"t have the skills that he would need to live in the hard, rough country. Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died. The Green Revolution (革命) is the name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs. | |||

| A. a young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developed B. a soldier who has not had any experience in war C. a person who is new in a job D. a man who doesn"t have the skills to live in the country | |||
| 2. The meaning of the underlined word "ripe" in the second paragraph is ______. | |||
| A. 未完成的 B. 成熟的 C. 青涩的 D. 老练的 | |||
| 3. Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right? | |||
| A. If there weren"t the Green Revolution, we would have no rice to eat. B. The expression "the Green Revolution" appeared several years ago. C. Because of the Green Revolution, we have more kinds of rice and other grains. D. Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution. | |||
| 4. We can know from the passage that ______. | |||
| A. all growing plants is green B. green is the most important color in nature C. a person with a green thumb can make plants grow well D. the expression "a green thumb" has a history of two hundred years | |||

| My 10-year-old Donna said, "Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?" Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell. "Sure, honey, that sounds great." I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. "I"ll be back soon." she told me.
