Unit 5 单元拓展阅读训练 2023—2024学年 牛津上海版（试用本） 英语六年级下册 一、阅读理解 Mary did not understand such sentences as “She is blue today.” “You are yellow.” “He has a green thumb,” “He has told a white lie.” And so on. And she went to the teacher for help. Mary: Mrs. Smith, there is a color in each of the sentences. What do they mean? Mrs. Smith: In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sad, yellow means afraid. A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one. Mary: Would you give me an example for “a white lie”? Mrs. Smith: Certainly. Now I just give you some cake. In fact you don’t like it, but you won’t say it. Instead you say, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie. Mary: Oh, I see, thank you very much. 1．Blue sometimes means sad in _________ English.

And one day they decided to take their holiday in Australia. Their plane arrived in Sydney at nine in the morning. They rented (租) a car in the city and began their travel. A few hours later the sun was shining in the sky and there were no trees beside the road. It was so hot that they could hardly go on driving. They had to stop to look around. Mike found a river was about half a kilometre away from them. They were both very happy and drove the car quickly. Soon they got to the river. Before they jumped into the water, Dick saw a boy playing under a big tree.
