One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way in Amy's house. Like most of the children, Janet was scared of the old man because of the stories she'd heard about him.
Amy said that Mr. Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house.

C (山东德州中考)
Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15 th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18 th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20 th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. The Green Revolution(绿色革命)is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling. Jealousy(嫉妒). The green－eyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants.
In most places in the world, a green light is a signal(信号)to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means approval(赞成)to continue with a project.

Dear Frank,
I’ve received your letter and I know you argued with your parents. I really worry about you. I think it’s wrong for you to spend much time on computer games and it’s right for your parents to ask you not to do so. Playing computer games not only waste your time but also hurts your eyes. And it’s not good for your study, either. You should understand your parents and respect them. You should learn to get well with them. So you must say sorry to them and communicate with them. You should not play computer games. Study harder and help to do more chores at home.
Please be happy and everything will be better.
Yours,
Zhang Wei
