People sometimes say theyre in the pink when theyre in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century.It probably came from many babies who were born with a nice pink colour showing good health.Blue is a cool colour. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous songMood Indigoabout the deep blue colour, indigo. In the words of the song：“You arent blue till youve had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad.The colour green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural colour for humans.

Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen! I only take real money！”the driver said angrily.Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing.The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.【语篇解读】作者就出国旅行给读者提了三点建议。了解一些简单的规则会给旅行带来很多的方便。第一点是再三确认出发时间；第二点是随身带一些当地的货币；第三点是充分了解当地的天气情况。5Where is the writer most probably from?A.
