IN China, red is known to be a lucky color. But you may be surprised to know that British culture is also full of the color red. It’s true: Go to Britain and you will see red everywhere.
There are red postboxes on street corners and on the sides of buildings. The British red phone box is famous all over the world. The famous double-decker (雙層) bus is red. Red is the color traditionally worn by British soldiers in battle (戰爭), and there is red in the UK’s Union Jack national flag. Britain even has a famous team of stunt (特技) jet fighters (噴氣式戰斗機) called “The Red Arrows”.
To go with British culture’s love of red, British nature also features many red animals. A beloved bird is the robin (知更鳥), which has a bright red breast (胸脯). At Christmastime in winter, the bird is commonly found on the greetings cards people send each other. There is also quite a rare animal called the red squirrel (松鼠). Foxes are red, and they used to be hunted by men in red outfits (服裝).
But is red considered lucky to British people? A good way to see how a culture looks at a color is to look at the way it uses it in language. The results may surprise you. Even though Britain has a lot of red on its high streets and in its countryside, red is used quite differently as a metaphor (比喻). If someone “sees red”, they are angry. When a person is “red faced”, they are out of breath or blushing (臉紅). Red is also a political color: it means a left-winger (blue is the color of the political right). To be “in the red” is to be in debt (someone in credit (存款) is “in the black”).
Look hard enough and you’ll find the color red being used in all countries. For instance the “red heart” symbol (符號) is pretty universal. But whether the British realize it or not, red is everywhere in Britain. It does seem that the country is in love with the color.
1. The article is mainly about ______.
A. the metaphor of red in the English language
B. the preference for red animals in Britain
C. the history of red items in Britain
D. the color red in British culture
2. Someone saying bad words about you behind your back might make you ______.
A. red-faced B. see red
C. in the red D. in the black
3. It can be inferred from the article that ______.
A. red has different meanings depending on the context (情境)
B. the color red is not as popular as it was before in Britain
C. most British people are aware of (知道的) how popular the color red is in British culture
D. British people are often asked to explain the meaning of the color red
4.The main purpose of the article is to ______.
A. compare B. judge C. inform D. argue

In Britain，it's bottoms up from the week before Christmas till the last firework explodes in the sky announcing the new year,．The last Friday before Christmas popularly known as‘Mad Friday’—is one of the busiest periods for the country’s pubs and clubs．
But it's not just the bars that get busy．Ambulances and A&E departments around Britain get packed out too．Head injuries,，cuts，falls…it's easy to end up hurting yourself or others when self-control disappear and your head is spinning due to alcoho1．Revelers(縱酒狂歡的人)have been warned by the health authorities about the dangers of deadly drinking but drinking crazily seems to be part of the festivities for some．

The study by the University of Sussex followed up nearly 900 participants in Alcohol Concern’s Dry January campaign and found out that 72％of them had kept harmful drinking sessions down and 4％were still not drinking．

Dear Friend．
The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there．
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the ＄3 billion worth of children's books bought each year, plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers．
Who are these needed writers? They’re ordinary folks like you and me．
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now．My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help．
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潛能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed．
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course．
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened．I sold three stories．And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute．
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles．
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training．
Realize your writing dream today．There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades (消失)forever．
Sincerely．
Kristi Holl, Instructor
Institute of Children's Literature
