Mary can’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today.” “You are yellow.” “He has a green thumb (大拇指).” “He tells a white lie.” and so on. And she goes to her teacher for help.
Mary: Mrs. Smith, there is a colour in each of these sentence. What do they mean?
Mrs. Smith: In everyday English, 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: Would you please give me an example of a white lie?
Mrs. Smith: Certainly. Now I give you some cake. In fact, you don’t like it. But you won’t say it. Instead, you say, “ No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.
Mary: Oh, I see. Thank you very much.
小題1: Blue sometimes means sad in ________ English.
A．good B．spokenC．dirty D．poor
小題2:I don’t have a green thumb, so all my plants _________.

Mary picked up a pencil and a piece of paper，saying，“Now，you want to earn money for the autumn camping trip，right?” Tom，her brother，nodded．He wasn’t able to go last year because he hadn’t earned enough money during the summer．This year he came up with a plan．
He made a necklace for his mother that everyone admired．They were surprised to learn that Tom had made it for her．Why not make more necklaces and sell them?
“OK，” said Mary，“The first thing you need to do is to figure out（計(jì)算）how much you have now．’’
“I have $20.00 in the bank，and $7.25 in my room，” explained Tom．
“That gives you a total of $27.25，” said Mary，“That is called your capital．The next thing you need to know is how much it will cost you to make each necklace．”
“Well，the pet shop will give me all the feathers the birds lose．I'll have to buy the beads（小珠子）and string，” said Tom．

Beads for 10 necklaces   +    $ 15.00
Total                        $ 17.50
“How much do you think you can sell such a necklace for?” asked Mary．
“Hmm，” Tom looked thoughtful and said，“There's a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $ 7.50．If I charge（要價(jià)）$ 6.00，people will think that's a bargain．”
“OK．If you sell each necklace for $ 6.00，you'll make a good profit（利潤(rùn)）on each then，” said Mary．
“Hurray!” Tom cried，“If I sell 20 necklaces，I'll have enough from the profit for the camping trip and $10.00 left over．”

Have you ever heard the saying "If you want a friend, be one"? If you want to make friends with others, you should be friendly to them first.
Here is how one new teacher made friends with the students in her class on the first day of school. As the bell rang, the teacher smiled （微笑） at each student. Then she said in a quiet voice,"Good morning. How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year. I'd like to know each of you. I am sure we will enjoy working together." Her voice was sweet（甜美的） and her look was friendly, so everyone felt happy.
She told the students her name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them some of the things she liked to do and she hoped to do with them during the year. Then she said to the boys and girls, "Now you know my name and the things I like and I want to know your names and the things you like."
Could you make friends by doing the same as this teacher did?
One way of getting to know girls and boys in your class is to find out more about them. People often make friends with those who are the same as them. You play the same games and go on vacations together. It is a good way to make friends.
小題1:判斷正誤。The teacher's voice was sweet. 【　　】
小題2:完成句子。She told the students                         and wrote it on the blackboard.
