or are they more likely to say “pouring down”? googlefight suggests the latter. “pouring down” has 898,000 google hits, whereas “raining cats and dogs” only has 326,000.with phrases, its important to remember that you need to use quote marks to make the search more accurate. for example, if you type in the similar phrases “look after” and “take care of “ without quote marks, the second phrase seems to be more common, but with quote marks, the result is reversed.49. what is googlefight?a. a fight between two people on google.b. a way to make sure you win an argument.c. a website showing how many hits two different things have.d. a list of all the websites on google.50. language teachers find it useful because _.a. there are a lot of words on googlefightb. it can tell them which of the two words with the same meaning appears more oftenc. some words mean the same thingd. common words have a billion hits51. what must you remember to do if you are checking phrases by googlefight?a. make sure they mean be same thing.b. make sure they are different.c. remember to put quote marks round the phrase.d. dont put quote marks round the phrase.52. which statement is not true according to the passage?a. googlefight is effective to determine the more common of two phrases.b. googlefight is a scientific way to decide an argument.c. quote marks can make the search more accurate.d. googlefight is invaluable to help win arguments.*结束it happened to me recently that i was telling someone how much i had enjoyed reading barack obamas dreams from my father and how it had changed my views of the current us president the person i was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words,“a wonderfully written book ”however, he then proceeded to talk about mr obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all i sensed that i was talking to a book liar and it seems that he is not the only one clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent in the world book day survey, dreams from my father is at number 9 the survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading as im not one to lie too often, ill admit here and now that i havent read the entire ten books but i am pleased to say that i have read the book at number one, george orwells 1984 i think its absolutely outstandingasked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to this could be difficult if the conversation became more in-depth !the world book day survey also has some other interesting information in it it shows that many people lie about having read classical works by jane austen, the bronte sisters, charles dickens and so on. but when asked which authors they actually enjoy, they named jk rowling, jilly cooper, and stephen king (ah, the big sellers, in other words) forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the storyso which books have you lied about readingif anyand which is your favourite?56the main reason why people lie about reading is to amake fun of the listener bimpress the listenercplease the listener dinterest the listener57the underlined word“proceeded”in the passage probably means“ ”awanted bhappened ccontinued dstopped58what does the world book day survey show?anearly half of the people surveryed didnt read through a whole classical book bpeople dont like dreams from my father and george orwells 1984cfew people lie about having read classical works by jane austendpeople usually enjoy reading books by charles dickens59what is the best title for the passage?aare you a book liar?
