My US history teacher had just finished his lesson. He sat back in his armchair comfortably, and asked: “Was there anybody doing anything interesting yesterday?” “I drew a panda, which was lovely!” a girl beside me shouted. Then, the talk developed rapidly. Someone said he had received his learners driving permit, while another mentioned that she had spent the first salary from her part-time job. Everybody seemed to have something to say. Although there was a range of people, from different backgrounds, people seemed to feel at home with each other. Not me. I stayed aloof from the discussion. I looked through my notes until I looked up to see another teacher come in and share some cookies he had made yesterday. The beautifully baked cookies sent out a good smell, which made it impossible to concentrate on my work any longer. However, my seat was in the back row, and I was too shy to stand up and take a cookie for myself. “Go ahead and have one!” It was the history teacher: “If you dont stand up, nobody is going to feed you!” I was still hesitant, but I got up and took a cookie with some other classmates. Now I felt more at ease. We laughed about how “greedy” we were. The “cookie crisis” had taught me a lesson. I would have to be less shy in the United States. Here was a mixed and various culture, and if I wanted to get anywhere I would have to brave its newness and difference and make myself heard, just as the teacher had said. Otherwise, “Nobody is going to feed you.” It was something a person new to the US, such as myself, needed to learn.36. The atmosphere in a US classroom is quite _.A. lively B. lonely C. bad D. quiet37. What does the underlined phrase “aloof from” mean?A. in spite of B. instead of C. apart from D. away from 38. What prevented the writer from getting a cookie for himself at first?A. His bravery. B. His shyness. C. His strangeness. D. His weakness.39. Compared with the teachers mentioned in the passage, most Chinese teachers are _.A. stricter B. friendlier C. more serious D. more impressive40. The “cookie crisis” in the last paragraph was _ to the writer.A. an important problem B. a kind of valuable foodC. a turning point in his life attitude D. a dream in his school lifeBMonday 2nd JanuaryI am in a small village in the Carpathian Mountains, north of Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Ive come to see the brown bears, which come to the villages at night to look for food. They walk 20 kilometres a night to get here. A farmer told me that some of his sheep have been killed by bears. But this is unusual. Usually, the bears just take bits of food which people have thrown away. Tonight I hope Ill see them.Tuesday 3rd JanuaryLast night I waited with a group of tourists and as it grew dark, we saw the huge black shapes of bears. It seems the bears dont go for people, unless they are attacked first. They were not afraid of the tourists, who took photos of them. Those clever bears knew where to go for their dinner. They jumped straight into the rubbish, where there was lots of food which people had thrown away.Wednesday 4th JanuaryAlthough its wonderful to see the bears in the village, it can only mean one thing: their habitat is disappearing. They would prefer to stay hidden in the mountain forests, but the trees have been cut down for firewood. So they cannot find enough food any more. Thursday 5th JanuaryToday I met the head of the Carpathian Animal Protection Group. He says that there are only about 2,500 bears left, and is worried that they will soon become extinct. Rich people from other countries pay a lot of money to come and shoot the bears for sport. The poor people from these villages need the money. But perhaps they could make more money from the tourists who want to come just watch the bears; and this would continue in the future. Once the bears are all dead, the tourists will stop visiting the village. But if the bears keep visiting the villages, then, perhaps, so will the tourists.41.

The meaning of an idiom is different from the actual meaning of the words used. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb. Proverbs are old but familiar sayings that usually give advice. Both idioms and proverbs are part of our daily expressions. Many are very old and have interesting histories. See how many of these expressions you know. “Bury the hatchet.”Native Americans used to bury weapons to show that fighting had ended and enemies were now at peace. Today, the idiom means to make up with a friend after an argument of fight.“A close shave.”In the past, student barbers learned to shave on customers. If they shaved too close, their customers might be cut or even hardly escape serious injury. Today, we use the idiom if a person narrowly escapes disaster.“Raining cats and dogs.”In Norse mythology the dog is associated with wind and the cat with storms. This expression means its raining very heavily.To “shed crocodile tears.”Crocodiles have a reflex that causes their eyes to tear when they open their mouths. That makes it look as though they are crying while swallowing their food. In fact, neither crocodiles nor people who shed “crocodile” tears feel sorry for their actions.“Saved by the bell.”In 17th-century England, a guard at Windsor Castle was accused of falling asleep at his post. He claimed he was wrongly accused and could prove it; he had heard the church bell chime (鸣响) thirteen times at midnight. Townspeople supported his claim and he was saved. Today we think of the bell that ends a round in boxing, often saving the boxer from injury, or the bell at the end of a class period, saving you from more work. Now this idiom means rescue from a situation at the last possible moment.51. The best title of this passage will probably be _.A. Everyday Expressions B. Not Idioms But Proverbs C. Idioms and proverbs are old D. Idioms or proverbs52
