  Han Meimei has read something with the colour words in them. She doesn't understand what they mean. So she went to her teacher, Mrs Green, for help. Here is what they are talking about:

  Meimei: Good morning, Mr Green. Have, you got a moment?

  Green: Yes. What can I do for you, Meimei?

  Meimei: I've come to some sentences that I don't understand. Can you help me?

  Green: What are they?

  Meimei: They are words of colour in these sentences on this list :

  (1) Jack is blue today.

  (2) She's yellow.

  (3) He's told a white lie (谎言).

  (4) Tom has a green thumb (大拇指).

  Green: In everyday English the word blue means sad. Yellow means afraid sometimes. A person with a green thumb usually grows plants well. When you tell a white lie, you mean not to trouble someone too much. A white lie is not a bad one.

  Meimei: Would you please give me an example of “a white lie”?

  Green: Certainly. If I give you a cake and you don't like it, you won't say that you don't like it. Instead you'll say that you are not hungry. That's a white lie.

  Meimei: I see. Thank you very much.

  Peter was walking to school from his home with his friend Jim.

  “I’m thinking.” he said.

  “What?” Jim laughed.

  “Before we came to this school, we had studied for 6 years.” Peter said.“And it will be 9 years by the end of this term…”

  “Don’t you think nine-year studying is too long?” his friend asked.

  “What about it?Everyone must go to school at least 9 years.Well, we have learned English for years…and you still can’t understand a word of it….that’s really funny,” Peter shouted when he ran away from his friend.

  When Jim caught up with him, he said, “I think it is a long time really, when you think about it.”

  “Mm….Hey, you haven’t forgotten your math homework this time?”

  “I did it last night,” Jim answered, when they came to the school gate.“It was difficult, wasn’t it?I sometimes think that all this homework is not good for our brain…We need a rest from all this studying.”

  “I really can’t agree with you,” Peter said, “studying is good for you; and school isn’t only about studying.We learn lots of other useful things, and at school we can develop our interests.”

  “You’re right,” Jim agreed.“I wasn’t very interested in playing basketball until I joined the school team.”

  “So you see, it seems like a long time and a lot of work sometimes, but it helps to make our lives more interesting.”

  “Now you speak just like my father; you should be a ‘teacher’ at this school, not a student,” Jim joked when the bell rang.
