Can you imagine life without phones and Wi-fi? Most of us think it is difficult. However, in Green Bank, a small town in the U.S.A., people are living such a life.
Green Bank is home to a large radio telescope (射电望远镜). It is used to study the universe. Radio waves from the ground can affect (影响) the work of the telescope. For this reason, people there can’t have smartphones or Wi-fi ,etc. They can only use a pay phone when they need to make phone calls.

Every country has its own way of saying things—its own special expressions (表达). Many everyday American expressions are based on (基于) colours.
Red is a hot colour. Americans often use it to express heat. When people use “red hot”, they want to say that they are very angry about something.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are “in the pink” when they are in good health. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink colour that shows they are healthy.
Blue is a cool colour. Blue is slow and sad. Someone who is blue is very sad.
The colour green is natural (天然的) for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural colour for humans. A person who has a sick﹣feeling stomach may say he feels “a little green”. A passenger (乘客) on a boat who feels sick may look very green.
The colour black is used often in expressions. People describe (描述) a day in which everything goes wrong as “a black day”.
