Mary didn’t understand such sentences as“She is blue today”，“You are yellow”，“He has a green thumb”，“He has told a white lie”and so on．And she went to the teacher Mrs James for help．

Mary：Mrs James，there is a colour in each of the sentences．What do they mean?

Mrs James：In everyday English，Mary，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：I'm afraid I don’t understand them a11．Would you give me an example for“a white lie”?

Mrs James：Certainly．Now I just give you some cakes．In fact you don’t like it，but you don’t want to let me know it．Instead you say，“No，thanks．I’m not hungry．”That’s a white lie．

Mary：It sounds very interesting．Thanks very much．

Mrs James：You are welcome．Colours are meaningful．I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future．Please come to me if you have any questions．

You can’t see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes．Some of the things you see give off light of their own。The sun，the stars，a lighted lamp are the examples that can be seen by their own light．But most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own．They are just reflecting(反射)light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies．The moon，for example，doesn’t give off any light of its own．It is not 1uminous．You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of the sunlight reflects on the earth．So moonlight is only second—hand sunlight．

    When you look at a book，it sends some of the light which fails on it to your eyes，and you see the book．If light could be kept out from where you’re so that there would be no light from the book to reflect．Then you couldn’t see the book even with your eyes wide open．Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you’re reading to your eyes is as short as if there were no time at time．Light reaches us from the moon，which is about 380，000 kilometres away，in only a little more than a second．

Long ago, Bluebird’s feathers were the colour of dust. She did not like her ugly colour. She was attracted by the colour of the lake near her home. It was as blue as the sky after a storm. Bluebird wanted to be the colour of that beautiful lake very much. Flapping her wings one morning, Bluebird flew from her tree to the blue lake. Then she bathed in the water three times. After each bath, she sang, “Blue water. Still water. I went in. I am blue.” Bluebird repeated this every morning. On the third day, she came out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers.

Now Coyote was a trickster(騙子)—and hungry too. He stayed behind Bluebird’s tree for a long time every day and watched her go to the lake. He pretended(偽裝) to be interested in everything she did. He wanted Bluebird for lunch, but he was afraid of the blue water. On the third morning, Coyote saw Bluebird come out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers. Impressed, he sat next to Bluebird’s tree and waited for her. When she returned, he asked, “How did you get blue feathers? I want to be blue like the mountains too.” Bluebird didn’t believe Coyote, but she taught him how to bathe three times each morning and how to sing her song. Coyote did what she said, and after three days of bathing in the lake, his white fur turned deep blue.

Convinced(確信的) that blue fur was even more beautiful than blue feathers, Coyote forgot all about being hungry. He ran as fast as he could to the top of the hill. Standing on his back legs, he raised his front legs off the ground and howled. But Coyote slipped(滑倒) and rolled down the hill. He couldn’t stop himself, and the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur. He rolled and rolled until he hit into Bluebird’s tree heavily. No matter how much he tried, foolish Coyote could not shake the dust from his fur. And so the fur of all coyotes had the dull colour of dust to this very day.

1.How many times did Bluebird bathe every morning before she had beautiful blue feathers?

A. Three times.        B. Four times.        C. Five times.         D. Six times.

2.Why was Coyote a trickster?

A. He wanted to fly like Bluebird near the mountains.

B. He wanted to eat Bluebird but pretended to be curious.

C. He wanted to swim in the lake but was afraid of the water.

D. He wanted to sing Bluebird’s song but didn’t know the words.

3.Where did Coyote go after his fur turned blue?

A. To the lake.         B. To the tree.         C. To the cave.       D. To the hill.

4.Why did Coyote forget all about being hungry?

A. Because his fur had the dull colour of dust.

B. Because the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur.

C. Because he thought blue fur was much more beautiful. 

D. Because he hit into Bluebird’s tree and hurt himself.

5.What words does the writer use to help you imagine the colour blue?

A. sky, lake, mountains  

B. bird, coyote, storm  

C. flapped, climbed, bathed  

D. fur, feathers, dust
