On TV you may see stars walking on the red carpet at the opning nigt 1 of a Hollyood movie or at the A er a big night li this, the stars oen paint the town red which means tht they celerate and have un going to parties or nightclubs all oer town. However, red is't always un f you do soething embarrassing, like spill 2 coee on your teacher' desk perhaps yur ce is beet 3 red. Your teachers ce might be red wth anger 4 too! Or if you see a perso doing something ad on purpose 5 lik takg someones wallet, you can say that you caught the persn redhanded Whether its good or bad, red usually means smething interesting is happening Blue s derent. When people are blue, or have got the blus it means they feel sad ey might listen to , which usually tels sad stories Blue isn't aways a sad colo, though f something god happens to you when youre not expecting it lik when you get a good idea or if you run into6 an old iend you can say it happened out of the blue

Green is another color that can have very dierent meanings. In the past, being green was amost always something negative. For example if you ride on a boat and feel seasick? your ce may look green. f someone has something nice that you really want ike a new car or an expensive watch you may also be green with envy8 Or if you are starting a new job your boss may say you are green, w hich means that you don't have any experience Now however green is usually good Being green more oen means doing good things r the environment.9 People who are good at growing pants have a green thumb Many companies are going green whic means they are recycling 10 more or are trying to use ess energy. In ct some companies are moving to ne green buidings which ay se solar pow er 11 or grow plants on their roofs. So if someone asks you o green yo are it probably means they want to know f you do good things r the envronment
Learning new expressions with colors can be un but its not always easy. As you ca see ther meanings can sometimes be very dierent Try ooking r these expressions in the thngs you read I you lea more about how these expressions are used you may add a itte coor to your writing or even pass your next English test with fying coors12 Word Count: 588

Reading Sl< Understanding Headings
A heading is a small group of words that serves as a title r a pararh or seveal parhs. When a reading is long or complicted autors oen use headings to divide a reading into smaller parts. You can use headings when you read to nd specic inrmation quickl For example, when we read the heading below we can tell that this paragraph is going to be about what Kurzweil tinks about the uture
!Headng 1-• KurzweiJ s View of the Futue >
Kurzweil believes that by 2050 tere will be a new tecnology called nanobots tiny macines that will be so small that billions of them can travel inside your body and x problems in each cell By then he also believes that with new Al technolog computers will be able to tink just like a person's brain He just has to live long enough so that he can take advantage of these inventions. Diet and exercise e believes are the keys A. Analyze the Reading
Look back at the reading on pages 73-74 to answer te questions belo ow many headings does the author use?
1.
Under which heading does the author talk about who Ray urzweil is? Under whic heading does the author tak about what Kurzweil eats and drinks?
