5.A year ago,I paid no attention to English idioms,though my teacher emphasized (强调) the importance again and again.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 surprised.Gently shaking his head,shrugging his shoulders,he said,"You don't say!""You don't say!"I was puzzled.I thought,perhaps this is not a proper topic."Well,I'd 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 was wonderful."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 stopped again by his words:"You don't say!"I couldn't help asking,"Why do you ask me not to talk about it?""Well,I didn't ask you to do so,"he answered,greatly surprised.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."Only then did I know how foolish I had been.Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.Remember:what the English teachers said is always right to us students.

2.Learning to Accept

My father was (23)Ba strong man who loved being active,but a terrible illness(24)D all that away.Now he can no longer walk and he must sit quietly in a chair all day.Even talking is (25)A.One night,I went to visit him with my sisters,we started (26)Dabout life,and I told them about one of my (27)A.I said that we must always very often give things up(28)C we grow-our youth,our beauty,our friends-but it always(29)Athat after we give something up,we gain something new in its place.Then suddenly my father (30)Cup.He said,"But,Peter.I gave up (31)A!What did I gain?"I thought and thought,but I could not think of anything to say.(32)D,he answered his own question:"I (33)A the love of my family."I looked at my sisters,and saw tears in their eyes,along with hope and thankfulness.
I was also (34)C by his words.After that,when I began to feel irritated(愤怒的) at someone,I (35)Cremember his words and become (36)D.If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others,then I should(37)B to give up my small irritations.In this(38)D,I learned the power of acceptance from my father.
Sometimes I(39)D what other things I could learn from him if I had listened more carefully when I was a boy.For now,though,I am grateful for this one (40)B.

9.While going through life with the pursuit of money on our mind,we're often told that money can't buy happiness.But what truth is there in the saying?Is there a relation between money and happiness?(36)D
Humans are very sensitive to change.When we get a rise,we really enjoy it.But some studies have shown that in North America,additional income beyond 75,000dollars a year stops impacting day-to-day happiness.(37)G They often end up spending all the money,going into debt,and experience ruined social relationships.
So surely money can't really buy happiness.Well,recent studies suggest that the problem may actually be in the way that we spend money.(38)CStudies show that people who spend their money on others feel happier.As for the people who spend money on themselves,their happiness is unchanged.
(39)A0ne experiment showed that instead of an organization writing a large check to a charity,dividing the amount up among employees,allowing them to contribute to a charity of their choice,increased their job satisfaction.Similarly,individuals that spend money on each other,as opposed to themselves,not only increase job satisfaction,but improve the team performance.
(40)EInterestingly,the specific way money is spent on others isn't important.Spending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness.

A.The same principle has been tested on teams and organizations as well.
B.Money has more effect on the vast majority of people in the long run.
C.Instead of buying things for yourself,try giving some of it to other people and see how you feel.
D.And if so,how can we use it to our advantage?
E.Almost everywhere we look in the world,we see that giving money to others is positively related to happiness,
F.And while you're saving up for these greatest experiences,don't forget the daily joys in life.
G.In fact,people who win a lottery often report becoming extremely unhappy.
3.It is Sunday and lunch has,as usual,come to a hurried end. My wife and I are still sitting at the table. My wife likes to be(36)Cin the life of her child,but I sometimes fear she is in too deep. She has(37)Athe morning on an online student forum,asking questions about UCAS(38)BDick.
"A lot of people haven't had any offers yet,"she says."I said I already had one."
"Wait,"Dick says."Are you(39)Dto be me?"
"No,I have my own login details now,"she says.
"How do you know he isn't his own mother pretending to be him?"Dick says.
Earlier,when we all sat down to lunch,Dick,who had been to parties the(40)Cevening,came back.
"Who were there?"my wife asks Dick."What was it like?"
"It was OK."he says.
"Not good enough,"she says."What was the worst thing(41)Bhappened?"My wife's continued question(42)Ba deepening,boring silence. I start to eat faster. There is a long,highly (43)Dpause in the conversation.
"So,"she says(44)A,"was it a kissing party?"
"Oh my God!"shouts Dick,(45)Chis fork."What is wrong with you?Why are you like this?"
Surrounded by further scolds,lunch comes to a hurried end. Dick finds himself(46)Dwith clearing up.(47)A,the running of water and the sound of washing plates are the only sounds in the room.
"(48)Bat any time you're prepared to apologize for being rude,"she says,"you can go and finish watching the football."
"Are you joking?"he shouts."No way!Why (49)CI apologize to you?"
He pauses to look into the bottom of a pan,and a smile(50)Dacross his face."What I mean is,I'm really very sorry,"he says,dropping the pan into the sink and running from the room."Bye!"
"You don't have to worry,"my wife says."In a(51)B's time,you'll be 18 and I won't be able to do this to you any more."
"Really?"he says.
"You'll be a(n)(52)D,"she says.
The boy stops to consider the blue print that after a(53)Dset seven days from then on,his parents will be(54)Ato stop ruining his life. He looks both doubtful and a little alarmed.
I approaches my wife,whispering to her."Dear,I agree with you-understanding and trust may (55)Cbe a good way to communicate with our teen children."

4.Long after the 1998World Cup was won,disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing(裁判)decisions that denied victory to their team.A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.
The researcher organized an experimental tournament(锦标赛)involving four youth teams.Each match lasted an hour,divided into three periods of 20minutes during which different referees were in charge.
Observers noted down the referees'errors,of which there were 61over the tournament.Converted to a standard match of 90minutes,each referee made almost 23mistakes,a remarkably high number.
The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail.Surprisingly,he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident.When the officials got it right,they were,on average,17meters away from the action.The average distance in the case of errors was 12meters.The research shows the optimum(最佳的)distance is about 20meters.
There also seemed to be an optimum speed.Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2meters per second.The average speed for errors was 4meters per second.
If FIFA,football's international ruling body,wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup,it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance,rather than rushing to keep up with the ball,the researcher argues.
He also says that FIFA's insistence that referees should retire at age 45may be misguided.If keeping up with the action is not so important,their physical condition is less critical.

51.The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant toB.
A.review the decisions of referees at the 1998World Cup
B.analyze the causes of errors made by football referees
C.set a standard for football refereeing
D.reexamine the rules for football refereeing
52.The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches wasC.
A.slightly above average
B.higher than in the 1998World Cup
C.quite unexpected
D.as high as in a standard match
53.The findings of the experiment show thatA.
A.errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball
B.the farther the referee is from the incident,the fewer the errors
C.the more slowly the referee runs,the more likely will errors occur
D.errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot
54.The word"officials"(Line 3,Para.4)most probably refers toC.
A.the researchers involved in the experiment
B.the inspectors of the football tournament
C.the referees of the football tournament
D.the observers at the site of the experiment
55.What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?B
A.The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.
B.Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.
C.A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.
D.An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.
