题目内容
A year ago,I paid no attention to English idioms(习语),though my teacher mentioned the importance again and again.But soon,the importance of English idioms was shown in a funny experience.
One day,I happened(碰巧)to meet an Englishman on the road with his friend,and soon we began to talk.As l was talking about how l was studying English,the foreigner seemed to be surprised,gently shaking his head,shrugging(耸一耸)his shoulders,saying,“You don't say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled.I thought,perhaps this was not a right topic.So I'd better change the topic.I said to him, “Well,shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way,have you ever been there?” “Certainly.everyone will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it.It is fantastic.” 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 order “You don’t say!”.I couldn’t help(忍不住)asking,“Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well,I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered in surprise.I said,“Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say’?”
Hearing this,the Englishman laughed to tears.He began to explain,“ ‘You don't say!’ actually means ‘really?’.It is an expression of surprise.Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms.” I knew I hadn't understood him.Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.
1.What does “You don't say!” mean in this passage?
A.Really? B.Please don't say anything.
C.Don't continue to say. D.Pardon?
2.The writer didn't understand the Englishman because _________.

Dear Kitty,
I am sorry that I did not write to you earlier because I have been very 1 . I was helping with a charity show to raise money 2 Project Green Hope. A lot of work needed to be finished, so I did not have much free time.
I felt very happy when I was chosen to be the host. It was exciting, 3 I was also very nervous. I knew that lots of people would watch the show and that many famous pop 4 would come, too. We started working on the show half a year ago so that we could do everything on time. My job was to introduce each star and I also had many other duties. We practiced a lot before the show. I had to remember to 5 the right camera at the right time. 6 , I thought I would never be able to remember all the words. Slowly, everything became 7 .
The big day came very quickly, and I was so excited. Twenty minutes before the big event, we opened the doors and many people came into the theatre to watch the show. The fans of the pop stars were making a noise, so I had to speak 8 .
Everything seemed to happen so fast. A lot of 9 has been given to Project Green Hope. I hope more events like this will be organized to raise money for charity and I think more people should be 10 to take part in them.
See you soon.
Best wishes!
Ricky

LONDON (Reuters) — British milkman Steve Leech, who saved several shops and flats by putting out a fire with 320 pints of milk, was celebrating Thursday after winning a national bravery award.
Leech, 35, named “Hero Milkman” by the National Dairymen’s Association, said that he had noticed smoke coming out of a shop in Cornwall, southern England, while delivering (递送) milk as usual a year ago.
“I saw the flats up above and thought I’d better do something. So I kicked the door in and started pouring milk everywhere,” Lee told Reuters Thursday.
“When firemen arrived, the fire was almost out,” he said. Firemen said he had helped save the lives of eight people living in the flats above the shops.
“It was hard work opening all those bottles, especially since they have tamper-proof lids. But it was even harder trying to explain to my boss where all the milk had gone.”
