In 1998, I wrote a letter for my future self with instructions not to open until my birthday 2010. It was now 2011, so I decided to open it. This is what it said:

Dear Sherri,

By the time you read this, you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had many hopes and dreams about you. Right now I hope you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and abroad, maybe you have even settled (定居) down somewhere in France, and maybe you are working in the field of art. I hope you're married to Gwynn -- the man of your dreams. You'll probably have two children – a girl and a boy.

If everything goes okay, you'll be living in France in a big house in a small town with Gwynn and your two children. You are doing research in painting. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing all right for yourselves.

However, if things don't go according to plan, I wish you love, happiness and joy.

Love,

Sherri "18"

When I read this, I was surprised. So much of what I wanted has come true.

I did travel to a few more places in Canada. I've traveled to the UK, Australia and Egypt. 3I have been living in France for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb (郊区), in a major city. I am an art teacher in a university. I have two lovely kids.

But not everything went as what I hoped. I married a man named Tom Rees, and he is an excellent artist. We are doing all right for ourselves.

4I find it cool how the dreams of a young girl can become a grown woman's reality (现实).

In the mid 1990’s, people started doing business on the Internet. There were two kinds of companies then. First, there were traditional companies. They sold things in stores. Then, there were Internet companies. They didn’t have a store, and they only sold things on the Net.

Traditional companies didn’t want to lose any business. Quickly, they made their own websites and began selling things on the Net. These are the so-called“brick and click”companies (砖块点击公司). Many stores are made of brick. And you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That’s where the name“brick and click”comes from.

By the late 1990’s, competition among Internet companies was great. So e-business like amazon.com, buy.com, and etoys.com were in trouble. Their profits (利润) were not very high. Many of these businesses were losing much money. In 2000, many e-businesses went out of business.

Why are brick and click companies, like Barnes and Walmart so successful? First, many customers know and trust (相信) their names. Their websites are easy to remember. These companies also have a lot of experience. In a word, they know how to run a successful business.

In the world of e-commerce (商业), companies are fighting for every dollar and every customer. Will brick and click companies win the war? Only time will tell.

Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the color of most growing plants, too.

Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe.

For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth 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 war (战争). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job.

About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didn’t have the skills that he would need to live in the hard, rough country.

Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds.

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 (革命) is the name which was given some 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 (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs.

1. According to the passage, a greenhorn means________ now.

A. a young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developed   

B. a soldier who has not had any experience in war  

C. a person who is new in a job  

D. a man who doesn’t have the skills to live in the country

2. The meaning of the underlined word “ripe” in the second paragraph is ________.

A.未完成的      B. 成熟的     C. 青涩的      D. 老练的

3. Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right?

   A. If there weren’t the Green Revolution, we would have no rice to eat.

   B. The expression “the Green Revolution” appeared several years ago.  

C. Because of the Green Revolution, we have more kinds of rice and other grains.

D. Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution.

4. We can know from the passage that _______.

A. all growing plants is green

B. green is the most important color in nature

C. a person with a green thumb can make plants grow well

D. the expression “a green thumb” has a history of two hundred years

5. The main idea of the passage is ________.

A. a greenhorn              B. a green thumb
