__【4】__ (reply) to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say youre sorry and give an excuse: Thanks, Id love to. What time would you like me to come? __【5】__ Oh, sorry. Ive tickets for a movie.

Sometimes, __【6】__, people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example: Please come over for a drink sometime. Why not get together for __【7】__ party sometime? Why dont you come over and see us sometime soon?

They are really just polite ways of __【8】__ (end) a conversation. They are not real invitations because they dont mention a specific (确定的) time or date.

【题目】阅读理解

A

I was asked in an email about learning idioms in a foreign language. Maybe I am different from most people,but I do not bother with them. To me they are kind of dessert of language learning. They come at the end of a meal. Once you have filled up with the key words and phrases that are used in a variety of situations,then you can add a few idioms. And by that time, you will be able to pick them up naturally anyway.

I find that many learners have trouble with idioms,as if repeating some very colloquial expressions is going to upgrade how they sound in a language. In fact, it is the opposite. Idioms are difficult to use correctly.

Yes,occasionally you hear idioms and do not understand. But,in my experience,there are always situations where you do not understand. It is best to focus on the most important words,what they mean and how they are used. Certainly,it is best for a nonnative speaker to stick to standard speech.

Some teachers even try to teach the “real language”.Then you hear nonnative speakers saying things like “I goanna, “You wane etc.

You will learn all the idioms you need just by exposing yourself to the language. In general,you can save any phrase that you find interesting,and if that includes idioms,go to it. But I would not make any special effort to go after idioms. I,in fact,avoid them. If I come across something in Russian that strikes me as a particularly idiomatic use of words,I just leave it span>aside; do not even bother trying to learn it. If it keeps on appearing,then I will learn it.

【1】In the writer's opinion,when one learns a new language,one should learn its idioms ________.

A.at the beginning B.on one's own

C.in the end D.without help

【2】The underlined word “colloquial” in Para.2 means “________”.

A.oral B.informal

C.formal D.written

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A.idioms are the most important part in a language

B.the writer is not very willing to use idioms

C.nonnative speakers should learn more idioms

D.there are no ways to master idioms

【4】How did the writer develop the passage?

A.By inferring. B.By comparing.

C.By listing examples. D.By giving explanations.
