As is known to all, colors appear in every language to express people’s feeling and thoughts. Then, what is the situation in American English?
Red is a hot color. Americans may say they are red hot about something unfair. They are red hot when they are very angry about something. The small hot-tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hot for their color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland Jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It comes from the fact that many babies are born with nice pink skin that shows that they are in good health.
The color black is often used in expressions. People describe a day on which everything goes wrong as a black day. People or things on a blacklist are connected with things illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.
The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling in his stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.
Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has. 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 green is the color of the back side of the paper money.

A. something unfair
B. small hot-tasting peppers
C. the person who is very angry

Farmers grow cocoa trees in the shady areas of rainforests near the Earth’s equator. These trees can be difficult to grow. They require an exact amount of water, warmth, soil and protection. After about five years, cocoa trees start producing large fruits called pods. The seeds inside these pods are harvested to make chocolate.
Today we travel around the world exploring the history of chocolate. Its story begins with a plant whose scientific name, The obroma cocoa, means “food of the gods”. People have been enjoying the rich flavor of chocolate, a product made from this plant.
Most people know that chocolate is made from cocoa and that the origins of chocolate can be traced back to Central and South America. For centuries, the natives there regarded cocoa as a gift from the gods. But how did chocolate go from being the food of the gods to being the food of love?
Historians believe the Maya of Central America first learned to farm cocoa plants around two thousand years ago. The Maya took the cocoa trees from the rainforests and grew them in their gardens. They cooked the cocoa seeds, and then crushed them into a soft substance. They used the cocoa bean as the m ain part in a dark, bitter drink that we would call “chocolate”. They believed that chocolate had mystical characteristics —but cocoa also had commercial (商业的)value. In fact, cocoa beans were used as a form of currency that was worth its weight in gold!
The explorer Christopher Columbus brought cocoa seeds to Spain after his trip to Central America in 1502. But the Spanish explorer Conquistador Hernando Cortez was the first European explorer to realize cocoa’s commercial possibilities. When he arrived in the New World in 1519, he soon established his own cocoa factory. In 1529, Cortez returned to Spain and introduced chocolate — as a drink mixed with sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon — to European society.
The wealthy people of Spain first enjoyed a sweetened type of the chocolate drink. Later, the popularity of the drink spread throughout Europe. The English, Dutch and French began to plant cocoa trees in their own countries. Chocolate remained a drink that only wealthy people could afford to drink until the eighteenth century. During the period known as the Industrial Revolution, new technologies helped make chocolate less costly to produce.
It caught on —especially with the noble people, who enjoyed hot chocolate as an aphrodisiac (a kind of medicine). As its popularity spread, people found new ways to make and use chocolate. These days, chocolate is enjoyed as both a tasty treat and a romantic gift
everywhere.
66．According to historians, cacao trees were first planted in .
A. South America
B. Central America
C. Spain.
D. Africa 67．Cocoa trees are difficult to grow because they require these EXCEPT .
A. protection
B. warmth
C. soil of good quality
D. plenty of fertilizer
68．According to the passage, which one is NOT RIGHT? .
A. Christopher Columbus brought cacao seeds to Central America.
B. The wealthy people of Spain first didn’t enjoy a chocolate drink.
C. Chocolate is made from the branches of coco trees.
D. At first only wealthy people could afford to drink chocolate.
69. Which is the right order of the events according to when they happened?
①The English , Dutch and French began to plant cocoa trees in their own colonies.
②Christopher Columbus brought cocoa seeds to Spain.
③Cortez set up his own cocoa plantation.
④Cortez introduced chocolate to European society.
A.②③④①
B.②③①④
C.②④③①
D.③②④①70．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. History of chocolate, as rich as its taste.
B. Chocolate, food of the gods.
C. Value of chocolate, as costly as gold.
D. Chocolate, food of love.

Some people seem to treat it as if it were a rubbish area. They throw the leftover food about, on the table or on the ground. This makes the hall look unpleasant for us to come and eat there.
I have several solutions. First, get more people to form good habits by putting posters around the hall asking them to be more thoughtful of their behaviors and protect our environment. Second, make people pick up their own litter. We can do this by asking some students to walk around the hall and watch out for those that drop litter. We can make those who are found dropping litter stay behind and tidy up the hall after all the students have finished their meal.。
