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(轻轻) shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders(耸肩)，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 great and beautiful.” 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(打断) 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.25. a year ago，i paid no attention to english idioms because _ .a. english idioms were not important b. i was not careful with english idiomsc. my teacher didnt emphasize the importance of them d. i had no interest in them26. at first，on

underlined word in the first paragraph probably means _.a. interesting b. important c. terrible d. unluckycmadridwhat is it that makes people happy? youth, health, a good job, good looks, a flashy car? none of these things, spanish experts say. the concept of happiness is coming under increasingly close examination in spain. as the nation rises to the club of the worlds wealthiest countries, people are discovering that material things do not bring happiness. “most people use money as a measure. of human value,” says jesus yunfante, author of a book on spains 300 biggest fortunes. “expensive products are regarded as the best. the rich are admired simply for being rich,” yunfante said. yet psychologists warn that happiness cannot be bought. they advise people to look for it in human relations and in the small pleasures of everyday life. many people regard happiness as a moment of ecstatic pleasure(狂喜) - something that, by definition, cannot last-while others speak of it as peace and acceptance of oneself. polls(问卷调查) in different countries indicate that between 65 and 85 per cent of the world s population regard themselves as reasonably happy.around 40 percent, of a persons happiness is thought to be determined by genetics, while the rest depends on childhood environment and the process of growing up. perhaps the most surprising thing about happiness is that it has little to do with age, health, wealth, or other values thought to be important in western society. for most spaniards, happiness is linked with feeling close to other people. happy people accept their limitations and set themselves reachable goals, experts say. there are lifestyle choices which favor happiness, such as exercise, eating carbohydrates and exposing oneself to sunlight. but the main secret of happiness is to take pleasure in small things. “if you are given a choice between eternal (永久的)happiness, and a cheese sandwich, take the sandwich,” advises musician julian hernandez.28. spain, as this passage tells us, _.a. has built more clubs than the other countriesb. has owned the largest group of expertsc. has become one of the richest countries in the worldd. has produced the most wealth in the world29. it can be concluded that jesus ynfante is _.a. a famous expertb. a famous psychologistc. one of the richest spaniards d. familiar with the richest spaniards30. happy people, as we can find in this passage, _.a. are always full of feelingsb. are always born in rich familiesc. always enjoy every achievement they get d. always look down upon themselves31. what julian hernandez advises at the end of this passage suggests that_.a. he is not a happy musicianb. he is leading a hard lifec. he doesnt agree with the idea shown in the passaged. he is humorous and happydbicycle safetyoperation always ride your bike in a safe, controlled manner on campus(校园). obey rules and regulations. watch out for walkers and other bicyclists, and always use your lights in
