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”.
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. The Green Revolution(绿色革命)is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling. Jealousy(忌妒). The greeneyed monster 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.
In most places in the world, a green light is a signal(信号)to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means approval(赞成

Which musical instrument(乐器) shall I learn? Many people would like to learn how to play a musical instrument ，but they are put off(拖延) by one big problem ：What to play ？Here are a few questions to help you decide.
________71
Many instruments are of different use ，but some are
more fit for certain types of music. Some instruments may lead themselves better than others to the music you like ，so consider(考虑) this before you start.
Do you want to play with other people?
Think about your longterm future as a musician. If you want to play with other people ，what sort of instrument would be most practical ？Your first thought of playing
the violin ，for example ，might disappear when too many people are competing(竞争) with you!
________72
Many people live in flats and practicing the drums ，for example ，will drive your neighbors crazy. Think about where and when you are going to practice ，as well as the feelings of the people you live with or near.
________73
This is quite a big factor(因素). Many instruments can be bought at different prices. But this doesn't change the fact that many ，such as the piano ，are always pretty expensive. If you can't afford your instrument ，will you
be able to borrow someone else's or hire(租) one?
________74
Talk to people you know who already play instruments. They might even let you try theirs. It's also a good idea to find an experienced music teacher ，preferably one who plays a few different instruments
，who can give you some advice and push you in the right direction.
75. Do you like music ？Why or why not ？(不少于5个单词)
