Enjoy your weekendBA year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms（习语）, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an interesting 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 surprised. 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 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 wonderful.” 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 stopped 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. 54. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because _.A. English idioms were not importantB.

According to their different aims in doing sports, they fall into three groups.Many students go to the playground when they feel tired after a few hours of study. These students put much more stress on their study efficiency（效率）than the fun of sports. They just want to go back to their classrooms from the playground with a clearer and quicker mind. So they dont actually care if they can enjoy themselves on the playground. Most of them choose long-distance running, the kind of exercise which few real sportsmen like. So this group of students can be well regarded as study-oriented participants（参加者）.Students that make up the second group are real sports lovers. Sometimes they even put aside their studies for a match. They participate in the sport that interests them most, not caring if it is good for their health. They may be called fun-oriented sports participants.The third group wants beauty from sports. Boys want to become strong; girls want to be slim and graceful. Those who consider sports the only way of losing weight also belong to this group. They are very careful in choosing the kind of exercise they do, and are afraid that certain sports may influence their body shapes. The proper name for this group may be beauty-oriented sports participants.No matter which group we belong to, we all benefit（受益）from sports. If you look around the school yard, you will find that bookworms have disappeared, and instead, there are healthy, strong, clever and modernized students everywhere.58.

Then she saw a little glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldnt open any.Then she saw another door, a door that was only 40 centimetres high. The little gold key unlocked this door easily, but Alice couldnt get through itshe was much too big. So she lay on the floor and looked through the open door, into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers.“Id like to be out therenot in this dark room. Why cant I get smaller?” It was already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible.After a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table. She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table. Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words DRINK ME in large letters. “It can be dangerous to drink out of strange bottles,” she said. “What will it do to me?” She drank a little bit very slowly. The taste was very nice and very soon Alice finished the bottle. “I think Im getting smaller and smaller every second.” And she was. “And now,” she said happily, “I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden.”She ran at once to the door. Then she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table. She ran back to the table for it, but she was now much too small! The key was high above her, on top of the table. She tried very hard to climb up the table leg, but she couldnt do it. At last, tired and unhappy, she got angry with herself. Soon she saw a littl
