Americans have used colours to create many expressions they use every day.
We say we are “in the pink” when we are in good health. It is very easy to understand how this expression was born. When my face has a nice fresh colour, pink colour , it is a sign that my health is good.
The colour green is natural for tree, it is an unnatural colour for humans. When someone doesn’t feel well, someone who is sick, for example, we say he looks green. When someone is angry because he doesn’t have what someone else has, we say he is “green with envy”.
Some people are “green with envy” because someone else has a new car.
The colour black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a “black day”. A “black sheep” is the member of a family or a group who always seems to be in trouble. If someone meets a “black cat”, something unlucky might happen to him. Not all the “black ” expressions have bad meanings. A company “in the red ” is losing money. If someone tells you to put something “in black and white”, they want you to write it down..
63 After reading the passage ,we can infer(推断) if someone looks grey, he ____________________. A looks well B may need a doctor C is healthy D is in the pink 64 I was really _______when I saw his new car.
