Mary can’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today.” “You are yellow.” “He has a green thumb (大拇指).” “He tells a white lie.” and so on. And she goes to her teacher for help.
Mary: Mrs. Smith, there is a colour in each of these sentence. What do they mean?
Mrs. Smith: In everyday English, 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: Would you please give me an example of a white lie?
Mrs. Smith: Certainly. Now I give you some cake. In fact, you don’t like it. But you won’t say it. Instead, you say, “ No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.
Mary: Oh, I see. Thank you very much.
【小題1】 Blue sometimes means sad in ________ English.

Let me tell something about my little dog Snoopy. Snoopy is an American dog. He looks very lovely. He has two small eyes, two big ears, four short legs and a small tail.

It’s great fun playing with him. I often teach him to play games. (1)Now he can play many kinds of games. If I say “Go to sleep!”, he goes to his bed and lies down. If I say “Play basketball!”, he goes to catch a ball and put it into a basket. If I say “Please dance _________ us!”, he dances to the music. Can he sing a song? One of my friends asks me, of course he can.

But he does not sing in English or Chinese. (2) When he sings, nobody can understand him.
