(2010·湖北八校第二次联考)
Every people has their own way of saying things，their own special expressions.Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.
Red is a hot color.Americans often use it to express heat.They may say they are red hot about something unfair.When they are red hot they are very angry about something.The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste.Fast loud music is popular with many people.They may say the music is red hot，especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red.People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health.The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century.It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.
Blue is a cool color.The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music.Blues is slow，sad and soulful.Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song—Mood Indigo—about the deep blue color，indigo.In the words of the song：“You aren’t blue till you’ve had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad.
The color green is natural for trees and grass.But it is an unnatural color for humans.A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green.A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.
Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has，like a fast new car.That person may say he is green with envy.Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks.Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.
The color black is used often in expressions.People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day.The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day.A blacklist is illegal now.But at one time，some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.
1．If you had your wallet stolen while doing some shopping，you may call it________.
A．a white day B．a black day C．a red day D．a green day
2．Suppose a Mr Brown says he is very happy because his three children are all in the pink，this means all his children are________.

(安徽名校2011届高三第一次联考)
About six years ago，I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table.I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation.At one point the woman asked，“So，how have you been？” And the boy—who could not have been more than seven or eight years old replied，“Frankly，I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident (小事) stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing.As far as I can remember，my friends and I hardly found out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.
The evidence of changes in children has increased steadily in recent years.Children don’t seem childlike anymore.Children speak more like adults，dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say，but it certainly is different.Childhood as it once was no longer exists.Why?
Human development is based not only on natural biological states，but also on patterns of access to social knowledge.Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new situation.Children have always been taught adult secrets，but slowly and in gradual stages：traditionally，we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the past 30 years，however，a secret-revelation (提示) machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes.It is called television.Television passes information，and indiscriminately (不加区分地)，to all viewers alike，whether they are children or adults.Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑)，many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging，more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print，as a matter of fact，allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access.Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced.Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
