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.

What image does the word “Britain” conjure up（令人想到）in your mind? Big Ben，the frequently changing weather, fish and chips... But have you ever wondered what British people think means “Britain”?

English playwright William Shakespeare and pop group. The Beatles are the icons which inspire a sense of national pride in British people, according to a recent survey.

More than 2,000 people were asked what aspect of Britain made them feel most proud. Shakespeare topped the list, followed by the National Trust, a charity which protects places of historical or environmental interest. These beat the British currency, the pound, and the BBC.

Surprisingly, the royal family only made it to seventh on the list. “The royal family, while popular, does not inspire widespread pride,” said a spokesman for Demos, the think tank(智囊团) which carried out the research. “However, it is certainly the case that — through their unique capacity to hold and lead national events — the royal family has a central role to play in developing pride.”

Terence Blacker, a reporter for The Independent, believes the study shows the nature of new patriotism(爱国主义)． “It turns out that modern British patriotism is not really about nationhood at all,” he wrote.

According to the poll, the most impressive symbols of national pride concerned private conduct and character. Volunteering topped the list, followed by politeness and patience.

【1】According to the passage, the following statements are British most outstanding symbols except ______.

A. patriotism B. the Beatles.

C. politeness D. Shakespeare.

【2】Which/span> of the following is close to the right order of the top symbols of Britain?

a. the National Trust.

b. patience

c. the royal family

d. the British currency

A. a ,b, c, d B. a, d, c, b

C. c, a, b, d D. a, c, b, d

【3】The royal family does not top the list because ______.

A. the royal family has a central role to play in developing pride

B. the royal family owns a lot of wealth

C. the royal family does not attract the public attention

D. the royal family does not influence the public as much as it used to
