( MUSIC)

Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.

Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. When they are red-hot, they are very angry about something. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say such music is red-hot.

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 20th 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 blues music in the United States is the opposite of red-hot music. Blues is slow and sad. 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 in the 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, 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 of the paper money.

The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day on which everything goes wrong as a black day.

Dear Ella,

I am 13 years old. My parents prefer my brother to me. Now when I ask for something, my mum says it's foolish and useless. But whenever my brother asks for something, he gets it. When he heats me, my parents do nothing about it.

I don't have the right to have piercings and tattoos(纹身).My parents are not

open-minded. I hate staying at home. My dad forces me to pray(祷告)every day, which I hate a lot! He is a very religious(宗教的)person. My mum and dad fight almost

every day

And I also have to do things for Dad like bringing his food and so on. I don't study too much but my grades are satisfactory for me. But my mum always wants more. I am bored with all of them and I always think of leaving home. I cry almost every day. What can I do toimprove my life?

Alice

Dear A lice,

It sounds like you need to try to have a private talk with your parents about your feelings. I don't think that at 13 you should be getting tattoos or piercings, or that you should judge your parents' love for you by whether you get things from them. It's wrong of your parents to allow your brother to beat you.

You say that your dad is religious. Does your family attend a church? Is there a minister or some other trusted adult you can talk to? Can you talk to your school counselor about this?

Please know that leaving home is not the answer to your problems. You are young and it is a time when sometimes one can feel very depressed(沮丧的)and

helpless. I really hope you will talk to an adult you believe in about these things and get better soon.

Ella

It was another day to jump rope. All the students were on the playground. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope in big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to

wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned(皱眉).

Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted. He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another, the kids watched the rope, ran in and jumped. Then it was Millie's turn. She watched the rope go around and around, but she didn't move. She felt like everyone was looking at her.

Millie's friends cheered, "Go, Millie, go!"

Millie's face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed.

The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn't know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street, there was no one to help turn the long rope.

Just then, Mrs Miles, the PE teacher brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.

"Let's see how long each one of you can jump without missing." she said as she gave each student a short rope. "Ready, set. Go!"

Millie smiled for the first time ever in a PE class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quickly to herself.

After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering. “Go, Millie, go!"

She was the only one still jumping rope! The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going. When at last she was too tired to go on, she stopped. The whole class cheered. Everyone was looking at her and smiling. Millie smiled back!

1. What class were they having?

2. How did Millie feel when she stood at the back of the line?

3. Will you give it a try if you are not good at something? Why or why not?
