1. (2019七上·杭州月考) 阅读理解

    Mary can't understand :

    "She is blue today."

    "You are yellow."

    "He has a green thumb (大拇指)."

    "He tells a white lie."

    And she goes to her teacher for help.

    Mary: Mrs. Smith, there is a colour in each of these sentences. 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（相反地）, you say, " No, thanks. I'm not hungry." That's a white lie.

Mary: Oh, I see. Thank you very much.
