But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience. One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You dont say!” “You dont say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate(适当的)topic. “Well, Id better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words:“You dont say!” I couldnt help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didnt request you to do so, ” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didnt you say you dont say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, You dont say actually means really! It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you dont pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students. 24.

If you are like most women, youve faced this question the hard way. A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually wont make an effort to clean or organize it. This doesnt mean that a woman has to do all the housework ; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partners participation (参与).A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility for the housework. Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for the housework, and many men look on the housework as womens work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and its important that you give your men appreciation for those things, too. Most men will take on a little extra housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do the housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored (监视). Heres the key: men want to feel that they are doing the housework either because they want to do a task, or because they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In a word, men are likely to do a household task just for the good of the house.28. The passage is mainly about_ . A.how to get men to take on some housework B.how to get men to serve their families C.how to praise mens housework D.how to make men do all the housework29. According to the passage, a man _ . A.is willing to do any housework B.likes to be told to do the housework C.is taught to be responsible for the housework from his childhood D.likes a clean house but doesnt make an effort to clean it30. In order to get men to do some housework, women should often_ . A.order them to do their share B.ask them to do some housework politely C.blame mens laziness D.monitor mens work31. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following would a husband most probably like to do? A.Wash the dishes. B.Clean the table. C.Paint the ceiling. D.Ask his wife to work around the yard.DHiking is not only one of the best forms of physical exercise , but also one of the best forms of mental relaxation .
