　　Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today”, “You are yellow”, “He has a green thumb”, “He has told a white lie” and so on．And she went to the teacher Mrs．James for help．

　　Mary：

　　Mrs．James, there is a colour in each of the sentences．What do they mean?

　　Mrs．James：In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sad, yellow afraid．A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one．”

　　Mary：

　　I’m afraid I don’t understand them all．Would you give me an example for “a white lie”?

　　Mrs．James：Certainly．Now I just give you some cakes．In fact you don’t like it, but you don’t want to let me know it．Instead you say, “No, thanks．I’m not hungry．” That’s a white lie．

　　Mary：It sounds very interesting．Thanks very much．

　　Mrs．James：You are welcome．Colours are meaningful．I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future．Please come to me if you have any questions．

閱讀理解

　　First it was an earthquake．Then came a terrible tsunami．These natural disasters killed thousands of people in Japan on Mar．11, 2011．Then a nuclear crisis(核危機(jī))put the island in danger and shocked the world．

　　Damaged by the earthquake and tsunami, Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant(福島第一核電站)has put out dangerous radioactive(放射性的)materials．Experts from several countries are working to control the crisis．

　　Although the reports say the leak so far will not cause huge health problems, people are worrying about nuclear safety．Switzerland has stopped plans to build new nuclear plants．Germany raised questions about its nuclear future．

　　As for China, the government has suspended approving(暫停審批)new nuclear power stations and stepped up safety checks at existing plants, Xinhua reported．But it is reported that all nuclear power stations in China are safe．

　　A nuclear power plant creates electricity．It is a clean energy source．In 1954, the world's first nuclear power plant was built in Russia．From then on, nuclear power has been widely used．

　　But nuclear power plants have hidden problems．If radioactive materials get into the air or water, they can pollute soil and plants and harm humans and animals．Nuclear accidents, such as the Chernobyl(切爾諾貝利)disaster in 1986 in the Ukraine, have caused great damage to the nearby people and the environment．

　　Will there be another choice for energy that we can use in the future? In recent years, scientists have found ways to make electricity from sunshine, wind and garbage．

　　Some scientists say hydrogen(氫氣)may be used to create power．Hydrogen is a clean resource to use, and will never disappear．Some car companies have already developed cars powered by hydrogen．But still, the technology for its production is only in early stages of development．

　　Dear Earthmen,

　　I have enjoyed my stay on your interesting planet. I think I understand the life on earth now and I would like to give my impressions(印象).

　　First of all you live in boxes. Every morning you leave your big boxes and get into smaller boxes on wheels(輪子). All these small boxes run around and around, and finally stop to rest. You leave these boxes on wheels and go to very large tall boxes.

　　After resting all day you get back in your little boxes and return to your big boxes. There you sit and look at very small glowing boxes with moving pictures on the front.

　　There is only one thing I don't understand. I went to a football game one day. A group of angry boys fought a little round ball. Everyone shouted but they kept fighting. They were angry, because they had been kept in boxes all day. I think.
