【題目】Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.

Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.

Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.

Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling , jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster （怪物）is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants. For example, a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.

In most places in the world, a green light means to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means agree to continue with a project.

Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say ----- problem, I don’t want you in my life.

【1】 Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children – the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.

【題目】Are you good with money？I learnt to be careful with it during my childhood. My father would give me some pocket money and tell me it should last for a whole week. So，I learnt I had to save some if I didn’t want to run out of cash quickly. No surprise there：my dad was an accountant！

It's never too early to become money savvy（會理財）．That's what British personal finances expert Martin Lewis thinks. He was part of a successful campaign to include financial education on the school curriculum in England. It will be embedded(植入）in maths and citizenship education. This includes children from 5 to 16 years old.

Lewis says：“We desperately need to break the cycle of financial illiteracy(無知）in the UK—one of the causes of our current economic crisis and a huge contributor to continued mis-selling epidemics（違規(guī)銷售）．”

Being careful with money pays off. Banks in Britain recently found themselves having to pay a large number of people who were persuaded to spend money and buy insurance policies they didn’t need. Many wasted their money on investments which were not for them. Few have the patience to read the small print.

The British say‘take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves’．It means you have to watch your daily expenses and not just the big purchases in your life such as houses.

Martin Lewis has made millions from his website which advises people to be thrifty(節(jié)儉）and refuses any suggestion that he is mean. The expert says in an interview with the English newspaper the Daily Express：“the better you are with your cash，the better your life can be. People think I am telling them to stop spending money but I am simply telling them to spend it wisely.”

【1】From Paragraph 1 we can know that the author ___________.

A. was in deep debt

B. was good with money as a child

C. ran out of cash quickly

D. earned a lot of money

【2】The financial education in England aims to ________.

A. educate children to become money savvy

B. avoid continued mis-selling epidemics

C. help children make money

D. deal with the current economic crisis

【3】What’s the financial problem of some people in Britain？

A. They have no patience to spend money.

B. They watch their daily expenses.

C. They invest money blindly and unwisely.

D. They neglect big purchases.

As we all know, travelling can be an excited experience. Let me give you some suggestion that you have to pay attention. You can find out more about your destination by surf the Internet before you set out. You needn’t take too many cash.

As I was leaving the grocery store this afternoon, I saw a poor family — a mother and her four kid sitting in the cold, it brought back memories from when I was a child. The little girl, about 13, told me he liked my sweater. I said, “thank you.” When I am walking to my car, I started to feel sadly. Put the groceries in my car, I sudden thought the little girl might need a sweater at school. So I went back to find the little girl, take my sweater off but gave it to her. I knew she would get much use out of it than me.
