Some of the words and expressions deal with the special areas of their work. Other expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry. One such saying is “get your act together”. When things go wrong in a business, the boss may get angry. He may shout, “Stop making mistakes. Get your act together.” Or, if the boss is calmer, he may say, “Let us get our act together.” Either way, the meaning is the same. Getting your act together is getting organized. In business, it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of action. Where did the saying begin? It is probable that it was in the theater or movie industry. Perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes. The director may have said, “Calm down, now. Get your act together.” Word expert James Rogers says the expression was common at the late 1970s. Mister Rogers says the Manchester Guardian newspaper used it in 1978. The newspaper said a reform policy(改革政策) required that the British government get its act together. Now, this expression is heard often when officials of a company meet. And it has become shortened to “get it together”. Both mean the same thing straighten out your feelings and problems. If you always worry about your tests, you should really get it together!30 . The underlined phrase “get your act together” means_in Chinese here.A聚在一起B别犯傻了C仔细筹划D做你的事31 .

Which of the following is NOT true?AWhen you make a mistake, you may be told to get it together.BNow this saying is mainly used in school tests.C“Get it together” has the same meaning as “get your act together”.DNow this saying deals with a lot of areas.English book Animal Farm (1945) tells a story about farm animals. They are fed up with (受够了) Mr Jones, the farmer. He treats them badly, so they decide to kick him off the farm and run the farm themselves.One day an old pig called Old Major gathers the animals around him. He tells them that all animals should stand together. He says they should take over the farm. They say that all animals are equal.After they get rid of (摆脱) Mr Jones, two pigs become the leaders of Animal Farm. One pig called Snowball is a great speaker. He has big ideas for Animal Farm. The other leader is a pig called Napoleon. Napoleon is a crafty (狡猾的) animal. He brings together supporters by offering them advantages.Napoleon makes a war against Snowball and kicks him away from the farm. He turns Snowball into a big enemy. He says that Snowball is working with Farmer Jones and other farmers to do harm to Animal Farm.But as it turns out it is Napoleon who is working with the enemies of the animals. He joins up with the old human enemies of the animals. But he tells the animals that he is working for them. At the same time the animals work hard. It seems that it is as bad to live under Napoleon as it was under Farmer Jones!Why is the story so important?Animal Farm is an excellent choice for learners of English because its very short. The language is also simple.Like many famous stories Animal Farm is not just a book. It was played on the BBC radio in 1947. The big modern way of telling stories is in movies of course.

The famous book has also been put on in the theater. In 1984 a play was made and it toured a number of British cities.34 . Which is the right order of what happened in the story?a.
