As is known to all, colors appear in every language to express people’s feeling and thoughts. Then, what is the situation in American English?
Red is a hot color. Americans may say they are red hot about something unfair. They are red hot when they are very angry about something. The small hot-tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hot 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 comes from the fact that many babies are born with nice pink skin that shows that they are in good health.
The color black is often used in expressions. People describe a day on which everything goes wrong as a black day. People or things on a blacklist are connected with things illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.
The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling in his stomach may say he 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. 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 green is the color of the back side of the paper money.

As is know, when senior students graduate from school, most of their textbooks are thrown away, which are still in a good condition. What a waste it is! I quite agree to the suggestion we should recycle these textbooks. For one thing, recycle textbooks can save a lot of natural materials, which is used to make textbooks. For other, senior students may have plenty of useful notes over the pages. They are very helpful to those textbook users. What’s worse, the cost of the books will unload some burden of the families of the students. Actually in Australia and any other countries, recycling textbooks is popular but it gives us a good example. Why can’t we have a try? | 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. |

As is know to us all, paper burns easy. Yesterday, Mike, a six-year-old boy, made a paper box and then filled it for water. He then lit a candle and tries to burn the paper box. Much to his surprises, the paper box didn’t catch fire. Such curious was the child about the experiment that he asked his father endless questions about it. His father, which is a teacher in a primary school, didn’t know how to ask these questions, but he didn’t pretend to understand. He did everything he could help his son solve the problem. This experience made Mike interesting in the study of modern science.
