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, saying, “You dont say!” “You dont say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate 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 is 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 order, “You dont say!” I couldnt help asking. 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 realize I had made a fool of myself. Since then, I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. 21. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because . A.

My name is Lisa, and I am a lioness. I live on the open grasslands of Africa with my family. Lions living in a group are called a pride.My father is strong and powerful. He and his cousin are the leaders of our pride.The other members are my mother, her sisters, and their children.The area where a pride lives is big! We roar (咆哮) to tell each other where we are and to warn strangers to stay away.Meet my new baby brother. His name is Leon. See the spots on his fur? We lions are born spotted or striped (有条纹的). As we grow older, the spots gradually disappear.Lionesses usually spend their entire lives with their birth pride, but Leon will leave when he is about three years old. Hell run around with a male (雄性的) friend or relative for a few years until they take over a pride of their own.But for now, we have lots of fun together. We often play and fight for hours, which can help us practice skills that we will need for hunting.We lions keep ourselves very clean. Just like a house cat, I clean my fur (毛) with my tongue. We clean for each other, too, to show were friends.Lions like to sleep for most of the day. We hunt in the cool evening. Female (雌性的) lions hunt more often than male lions. We work together as a team. At the right moment, we attack and kill our prey. Then we share it. Male lions usually eat first. Females eat next. Baby lions are the last to eat. The smallest one gets the least food.Since we are full, its time to go to find a nice place for a sleep. Bye.25.

There will be many people in world and most of them will live longer than people live now.puters will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And puter studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then.People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day.

At the same time, the mittee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr. Professor, Ive made a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient.
