Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.

What do the world's most successful people all have in common?
By examining the work habits of over 150 greatest writers and artists and scientists, the researchers includingStandford Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer found that high achievers like Robert Mosesturn out to be all alike:
Busy ! Busy!
In a study of general managers in industry, JohnKotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per week—whichtranslates into at least six 10-hour days. The ability and willingness to workdifficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures. Energy andstrength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power.
Just Say No!
The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almosteverything. And that’s what gives them the time to accomplish so much. And focus means saying “no” to a lot ofdistractions (分神).
Know What You Are!
I gnore your weakness and keep improvingyour strengths. Don’t waste time exploring skill areas where you have littlecompetence. Instead, focus on—and build on—your strengths.
Create Good Luck!
Luck is not magical—there is a science to it. Richard Wiseman studied lucky people for his book Luck Factor, and brokedown what they do right. By being more outgoing, open to new ideas,following the feeling that something is true, being optimistic, lucky peoplecreate possibilities.

【题目】阅读理解
An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan. The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “food miles” before it reached Western customers. Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK. It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000 food miles ) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles).
Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage due to industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noticed that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers’ market doesn’t necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of “food miles” ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana. The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.
What is the idea of “food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.
（1）The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that ________.
A.UK wastes a lot of money importing food products
B.some imported goods causes environmental damage
C.growing certain vegetables causes environmental damage
D.people wasted energy buying food from other countries
（2）The phrase “food miles” in the passage refers to the distance ________.
A.that a food product travels to a market
B.that a food product travels from one market to another
C.between UK and other food producing countries
D.between a Third World country and a First World food market
（3）By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that ________.
A.British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones
B.Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes ones
C.cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel
D.protecting the environment may cost a lot of money
（4）From the passage we know that the author is most probably ________.
A.a supporter of free global trade
B.a member of a Food Commission
C.a supporter of First World food markets
D.a member of an energy development group
