Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass, the leaves on trees and most growing plants. Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no expereince, who is new to a situation. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early 1990s. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution is the name givensome years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who hadgreen thumbs.

Chat rooms and messaging can be great fun,but remember, you never really know who you are talking to online.It could be someone trying to trick you,some kind of weirdo(古怪的人),or someone really dangerous.Here are some tips to help you keep safe:
● Never use your real name in chat rooms—pick a special online nickname.
● Never tell anyone personal things about yourself or your family—like your address or telephone number ,or the school or clubs you go to.That goes for sending them photos as well(that way if you don’t want to hear from them again,you only have to log off.) Remember, even if somebody tells you about themselves,never tell them things about you.
●If you arrange to meet up with someone you’ve only spoken to once, remember that they might not be who they said they were,so only meet people in public places and take along an adult—they should do this too,because they don’t know who you really are either!
● Never respond to nasty(淫秽的)or rude messages,and never send any either! If you feel suspicious or uncomfortable about the way a conversation is going,or if it’s getting really personal,save a record of it and stop the conversation.That way you can show someone and ask what they think.
● Be careful with any email attachments or links that people send you,they might contain nasty images,or computer “viruses” that could ruin your PC.So if____________, don’t open it.
