　　Mary did not understand these sentences “She is blue today.” “You are yellow.” “He has a green thumb(大拇指).” “He told a while lie.” She went to her teacher for help.

　　Mary：Excuse me, Miss Smith, there are color words in these sentences. What do they mean?

　　Miss Smith：In everyday English, Mary. “Blue” sometimes means “sad”. “Yellow” means “afraid”. A person with a green thumb means he grows plants(种植植物) very well. And “a white lie” is not a bad one.

　　Mary：Would you give me an example(例子) for a white lie?

　　Miss Smith：Certainly. Now I give you some cakes. But you don't like it. What will you say?

　　Mary：I will say “No, thanks. I'm not hungry.”

　　Miss Smith：That's a white lie.

　　Mary：Oh, I see. Thank you very much.

　　You want to know about my staying in America, right?Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye－opening experience to study here．

　　In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade．However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut．

　　When I first studied English, I was told to say, ”I am fine” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good” or “I’m tired”．

　　One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused．I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say．

　　Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures．

　　To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑)．However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”．

　　I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are．

　　In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it．But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot of for the public and plays sports or music．

　　The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports．

　　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.
