　　Many daily American expressions are based (以……為基礎) on colours．

　　Red is a hot colour．Americans often use it to represent heat．When they say “red-hot”, that means they are very angry about something．Loud music is popular with many people．Some may say that such music is red-hot．

　　Pink is a lighter kind of red．People sometimes say “I'm in the pink” when they are in good health．The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century．It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink colour that shows that they are in good health．

　　Blue is a cool colour．The old Blues music in the United States is the opposite of red-hot music．Blues is slow and sad．Someone who is “blue” is very sad．

　　The colour green is natural for trees and grass．But it is an unnatural colour for humans．A person who has an upset stomach may say “I'm feeling a bit green”．A person on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves can be said “l(fā)ook very green”．Sometimes a person may be very jealous because he does not have anything as nice as someone has, like a fast new car．That person may say “I'm green with envy”．Some people are green with envy because someone has more dollars or “greenbacks”．Dollars are called greenbacks in American slangs because that is the colour of the bottom of their bank notes．

　　The colour black is used often in expressions．People may say “it's a black day” when everything goes wrong on that day．

　　In some cases, colours describe a situation．Blackouts were common during the World War II．All the lights in a city were turned off at night to make it difficult for enemy planes to find their aims in the dark．

　　Maybe you know floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on．But have ever heard of typhoons(臺風)?

　　Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea．Most happen in July, August and September．

　　How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates into the air．This makes the air hotter．When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky． Then, cooler air around it rushes in．It fills the space that is left．After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind．The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky．The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves．And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins．

　　A typhoon has two parts, One is called the “eye”．In the eye, the wind does not move so fast．The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye．This is where the strongest with and hardest rains are．

　　Typhoons are very dangerous．In 2004, Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing．In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged．

　　What to do when a typhoon hits：

　　●Stay inside, Close all the windows and stay away from them．

　　●Try to bring all of your things inside．Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!

　　●Listen to the radio or TV for important information．

　　●If you're told to go to a safer place, do so right away．

　　Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids．But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight．Let's read the following rules．They can help you stay healthy．

　　(1)．Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables．We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food．Remember that we can only get the nutrition (營養(yǎng)) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables．

　　(2)．Drink water and milk most often．Everyone knows that water is important．Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium (鈣) to grow strong bones, and milk is rich in it．Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older．You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca．They include a lot of sugar．Sugar only includes calories (熱量), not important nutrition．

　　(3)．Listen to your body．When you are eating, notice how your body feels．When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating．Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable．If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat．

　　(4)．Limit screen time．What's screen time? It's the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games．The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming．Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time．
