Every country has its own way of saying things—its own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are based on colours. Today our program is all about colours.
Red is a hot colour. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are “red hot” about something unfair. When they are “red hot”, they are very angry about something. Fast, loud music is popular with many people. They may say the 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. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink colour that shows they are in good health.
Blue is a cool colour. The traditional 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 colour green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural colour for humans. A person who has a sick - feeling stomach may say he feels “a little green”. A passenger on a boat who feels sick may look very green.
Sometimes a person may be unhappy because he doesn't have something as nice as a friend does, 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's the colour of the back side of the paper money.
The colour black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as “a black day”. And at one time, some companies refused to employ (雇佣) the people on the “blacklist”, because they belonged to unpopular organizations.
(D)1. If a person is “in the pink”, we know he/she is ______.
A. angry B. sad C. sick D. healthy

A. the grass B. the tree C. the colour green D. the colour blue

You might have seen beautiful rainbows in the sky before. They form when sunlight falls on water drops in the air. But in fact, moonlight can also create rainbows in the same way. They are called “moonbows”. They are similar to rainbows, but they are created by moonlight instead of direct sunlight.

Moonbows are rarer than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical (天文

学

的) conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created.
The moon has to be very low in the sky—only 42 degrees from the horizon (地平线). The moon period has to be a full moon or nearly full. The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly—any bright light can obscure it. Water drops must appear in the air in the opposite direction of the moon.
Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to the human eye. This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye. It is possible, however, to view the colors in a moonbow using long exposure (长时间曝光) photography.
Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world. Most of these locations usually have waterfalls, which create thin fog in the air. Some of these locations are the Yosemite National Park in California and Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky, US; Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe; and Waimea in Hawaii, US.
Moonbows do really happen. So at a certain time and a certain place, when a moonbow happens to appear, you can't miss it if you're right there.
(D)5. According to the first two paragraphs, moonbows are ______.
A. created by sunlight B. much easier to find
C. seen during the day D. more difficult to form
(C)6. Which of the following can be the conditions for a moonbow to form?
A. A full moon hangs high in the bright sky.
B. A half moon is 42 degrees from the horizon.
C. A nearly full moon hangs low in the dark sky.
D. Water drops are in the opposite direction of the sun.
(A)7. What does the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. cover B. drop C. connect D. produce
(C)8. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Conditions of moonbows. B. Background of moonbows.
C. Locations of moonbows. D. Development of moonbows.
