“Who needs a shopping mall (购物中心)if you have Taobao?” says Wang Lin, 28, a writer in Beijing.

　　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. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the 15th 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 battle. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today - a person who is new in a job.

　　Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died. Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy. The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants.
