The red color is always associated with happiness and good fortune . The Chinese people enjoy decorating their houses with something red. The bride wears a traditional Chinese wedding dress in red on her wedding day (though probably influenced by the western customs she would wear white wedding dress at the beginning of the celebration). Unlike the implication of red to anger, danger and the unreasonable outburst of emotions in the West, such as the expressions like: be a red rag to a bull; to see red; to see the red light; to paint the town red; red in tooth and claw etc. the red always carries positive meanings in China.The next color used to be very special is yellow, which is similar to the color of earth and soil since earth and soil were very important to people. Yellow used to be the fashionable color used by the Emperors in China.Another favorite color is green, which represents life and energy, while black and white are associated with death. Dont wear a black dress to attend the wedding or a birthday party. Wearing white headdress (头饰) indicates that someone in your home recently dies.Probably black is also associated with darkness. The Chinese like to refer to things illegally done black, for example, black money and black market. And black heart refers to someone really bad.The indirect meanings of colors are obvious in the costumes of traditional Chinese operas. Red indicates loyalty and courage; black represents honesty and fairness; yellow clothing signifies royalty and white to purity.Dont wear a green hat on any occasion in your daily life. Wearing a green hat is a Chinese idiom referring to ones wife has committed adultery. A husband wearing a green hat seems to claim that his wife is an adulteress. Therefore dont make yourself a standing joke.61. Compared with that in the West, red color in China usually indicates_. A. anger B. danger C. justice D. luck62. Which of the following is TRUE?A. White has a positive meaning in Chinese opera. B. Yellow used to be fashionable among working people. C. Red was a major color usually used by the Emperor. D.

But people are funny.They think too much about the details.I had a secretary once. She was very hardworking. I ran a school and people used to call up to enroll for courses. Berry used to get angry at the phone. “If they keep on ringing, Ill never get my typing done!” shed shout.People just dont see the big picture. One evening, after leaving work, I was sitting next to a man on the train. I was feeling tired. My eyes fell on the paper spread out in front of him. You know how you feel to read over someones shoulder?I read the page and leaned back. I guessed I was waiting for him to turn it. After a while, I realizedhe wasnt turning the page. He just kept on reading.Now if you knew the rag he was reading, youd know that there werent many words on the page to read anyway. The layout was mostly pictures. So I turned to the man and said,” You know, you really read very slowly.”“What do you mean ?” he asked. “Well,” I told him, “I read the page in about a minute, and you have taken about ten. And you are still reading. You know,” I went on “If you learned to read faster, you could get more reading done.” He remained silent for a minute or two. “If I read too fast, my paper wouldnt last me to my station.”65.
