Immediately I got up and dressed, I stuck my violin under my jacket and went out into the streets to try my  36 . I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely  37 , feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I  38  at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.

I felt tense and  39 . It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under the jacket like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead, that I was about to   40  myself. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the  41  before me, the violin under my chin.

The first notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest, then they settled down and began to run more _42  and to stay more or less in tune.

I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually obtaining the truth of the    46 by trial and error.

Old  52  were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls and barmaids.  As for men, heavy drinkers were always willing listeners and so were big guys with muscles. But  53  a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog: respectable types were the least  54  of all.  Except for retired army officers, who would shout "Why aren't you  55 , young man?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion.

Every people has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are 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 pick 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 ain’t been 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(chǎn) white day

B.a(chǎn) black day

C.a(chǎn) red day

D.a(chǎn) green day
