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(雄伟的).” 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.

What are we talking about? That global language English.The English language started in Britain in the 5th century. It is a mixed language. It was built up when German Scandinavian and French invaders settled in England and created a common language for communication.Today it is the official language of the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and Ireland as well as many islands in the Caribbean.

Every year, dictionaries include new words that talk about popular culture, for example, computer-related words such as blogging, download and chatroom. Also included are words that teenagers use. Who does not know cool, OK and “hello” ?Other languages also influence English. Many English words come from French.

NorwayCInternet dating has become one of the biggest and most successful business ventures（冒险事业） on the Internet. Basically, Internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first.The first thing to do if you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile（简介）, which includes your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on. A photograph is optional(非必须的), but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile. Many Internet dating sites will charge a one-time registration fee to use their services.Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world. You can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code(邮政编码). Another advantage is that you can communicate by email before you meet in person. Thousands of people have met, fallen in love, and married through Internet dating. It is an excellent way for shy people to meet. It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others, and an easy way to meet people who share your interests.Just as conventional dating and love, there are some pitfalls(陷进) to be aware of in Internet dating. The person you have been talking to on the net may not be who they say they are. Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital status(婚姻状况), income, and so on, for their own reasons. It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in, and talk shows are full of cheating partners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time. Nevertheless, taking a few simple precautions should help ensure that your Internet dating is safe.36.The purpose of writing the passage is to _.A. persuade the readers to go
