BLACK & WHITE
4.1. -
A ‘black sheep’ is a person who ignores tradition or does things that are not accepted.
A family may have a member who is not like them. This person brings shame to his/her group
and is not welcome at family meetings.
4.2. -
‘White hats’ and ‘black hats’ were symbols of the ‘good guys’ and the ‘bad guys’
in American western movies. The early movies were made with no sound, so the film
directors put a white hat on the hero and a black hat on the bad guy. That way even a small
child could tell who the hero was.
4.3. -
Black is also used in some expressions that describe good things. Being ‘in the black’
is a good situation. It is a business expression that means a company has made a profit.
The expression comes from the colour of ink used in the books that record a company’s profits
or losses. Profits are written in black and losses are written in red.
4.4. -
A ‘white collar’ job is the kind of job many people want to have. It is a job where you work
at a desk, using your brain instead of your muscles. Usually ‘white-collar’ jobs pay more than
‘blue-collar’ jobs - jobs where you use your physical strength.
4.5. -
Some expressions use black and white together. Someone may say that your suggestion
sounds all right, but he wants to see it in black and white. He wants to get a formal document
in writing or in print – black ink on white paper.
4.6. -
Some people see things only in black and white. In this expression, black and white represent
opposite extremes. Most things in the world aren’t so simple. One side of an issue is not
all good and the other side is not all bad. In the real world there are many grey areas where
black and white mix to represent the true situation.
4.7. -
We know that we should tell the truth, but is it always good? Sometimes people say
something which is not true because they don’t want to hurt their friends or relatives. In other
words they tell ‘a white lie’.

Holidaying at home is fun and quite cheap, says writer Peter Major from London.
This is what he says in one of his books:
“We live a couple of tube stops from King’s Cross in London, so we can easily travel
by train and help fight global warming by avoiding flying. Flights abroad might seem cheap,
but when you consider the taxes and cost of getting to the airport, they’re not. It’s over £20
return to Stansted Airport on the train.
What I like doing is booking special fares on the train, and using our family rail card,
which saves money and guarantees seats. There’s nothing like getting value for money,
and the joy of knowing you will have somewhere to sit however crowded the train. On most
trains our two daughters can walk up and down the corridors and enjoy trips to the buffet.
Some train services even provide crayons for kids. Our eldest daughter actually learnt to crawl
on the train.
If you book a cottage or a B&B in advance and shop around, it’s no more expensive
than a foreign hotel. And although it rains, it has never spoilt our holiday: wet walks, board
games, table tennis or just having the time to listen to raindrops can be fun. There are so many
things to do at home. Our children have had great holidays swimming in Lake Coniston,
exploring ruined abbeys in Yorkshire and picnicking in beautiful valleys. Staying in the UK
is great for your kids’ knowledge of history, too.
Europe’s greatest wilderness is in the Scottish Highlands. A couple of years ago,
we took the sleeper to Inverness, and travelled on (in a rented car and then in two boats)
to the island of Taransay – where, on a summer day, it looked like the South Pacific
and we had a beach of beautiful white sand all to ourselves.”
This is an extract from Save Cash and Save the Planet. Find out more – see our books
about holidaying in the UK, ethical tourism and ideas for getting away from it all –
with traffic-free cycle trails and wildlife walks.

When Reggie Love and Mark returned to the hospital there were reporters everywhere.
‘Ms Love, Ms Love,’ they called. ‘Just a few questions, please.’ She took Mark’s hand
and walked faster.
‘Is it true your client is refusing to speak to the FBI? Is it true he knows more than
he wants to say? Did Mark talk to Jerome Clifford before he died?’ Reggie said quickly
to Mark, ‘Don’t look at them and don’t say a word.’
In room 943 Ricky was sitting on the end of the bed. Dr Greenway told Mark to sit next
to him and hold his hand.
‘Ricky,’ he said, ‘I would like to talk about the other day when you and Mark were hiding
in the trees.’
‘It’s okay, Ricky, ’ said Mark. ‘He knows we were smoking. Mom’s not angry with us.’
‘Ricky, do you remember seeing the big, black car?’ said Dr Greenway.
‘Yes,’ said Ricky quietly.
‘What did the big black car do, Ricky?’
Ricky shut his eyes tightly, put his head on Mark’s knee and his thumb went into
his mouth. He didn’t speak another word for twenty-four hours.
Mark was tired, so when Ricky was asleep again, they left the hospital in Reggie’s sports
car. It was old, but Reggie liked to drive fast, and that was fine with Mark.
Mark watched the mirror closely to see if anyone was following them.
‘You think that Mom and Ricky are safe?’ he asked.
‘Yes. The hospital promised to keep guards at the door. Now I wonder what Momma
Love is giving us for dinner?’
Momma Love was Reggie’s mother. She frequently had young guests to dinner.
Most of Reggie’s work was with children. Some had family problems, some had drug
problems and some had already started a life of crime. Reggie often decided that they needed
good food.
‘Momma Love’s cooking is the best,’ she told Mark.
And it was. Everything was fresh and smelled perfect. They spent an hour at the table,
talking and eating.
After dinner Momma Love showed Mark some photographs. ‘Reggie’s children,’
she said. ‘I never see them now. Their father took them and spoiled them. Reggie felt angry
at first, but she’s got a new life now and tries not to think about it.’
Mark’s bed was comfortable and he fell asleep quickly, but around two o’clock he woke
up and found himself worrying about Mom and Ricky. Why was he there? His place was with
them, at the hospital. He got up and stood at the window, thinking about the past two days.
It had all started on Monday, after school. Now he had missed two days of school.
When would it all end?
As Mark looked into the dark night he suddenly noticed a small red light. A cigarette.
Someone was out there, in the street, smoking a cigarette. Though he couldn’t be seen,
Mark held his breath. Someone was watching the house.
5.1. Reggie Love
A. wanted Mark to tell the reporters everything.
B. ...
