A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, 1 my teacher said again and again that it was important.
One day, I 2 to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about 3 I was studying English, the foreigner shook his head, saying, ‘You don’t say! You don’t say!’ I was 4. I thought, perhaps this was not a 5 topic. Well, I’d 6 change the topic. So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? 7 the way, have you ever 8 there?’
‘Certainly. Everyone back home will 9 me if I leave China without seeing it. It is great!’
I said, ‘The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. It is a place of 10.’ But soon I was 11 again by his words, ‘12!’ I couldn’t help but 13, ‘Why did you ask me not to talk about it?’
‘Well, I 14 ask you to do so,’ he answered, gently surprised.
I said, ‘Didn’t you say “You don’t say”?’
Hearing this, the Englishman 15 to tears. He began to 16, “‘You don’t say!” actually means ‘really?’ It is an 17 of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English 18.’
Then I knew I had made a fool of 19. Since then I have been more 20 with idioms

Snoopy and Lou were robbers. Half a year ago, they decided to plan another bank robbery. It was to be their last one. Then they would give up this business and live a comfortable life. The job was so well done that the judge who sent them to prison for fifteen years each said it was the cleverest robbery of the century, and what a pity it was that their car had used up its petrol not far from the bank.
After they were in prison for a few weeks, Snoopy and Lou decided to escape. Soon they worked out a plan as good as any they had ever made. Even the smallest points were considered carefully. They planned as a team because they lived in the same room, and because the guards, who had a great deal of respect for the famous robbers, left them very much alone. They decided the quickest and safest way to escape was to squeeze themselves along a drain form their present workplace in the prison to a quiet country road on the other side of the prison wall.
The great day arrived, and the pair started along the drain. With great difficulty, they squeezed themselves along for what seemed ages. In half an hour , they could see daylight. When they got out, the men were so pleased with themselves at their success that they sloped each other on the back. It was only then that they realized they were not alone. They looked around, they found themselves facing thirty astonished policemen, who were carrying musical instruments of various sorts. The next morning, the same judge seemed very sorry as he told Snoopy and Lou that the plan of the prison drain system, which they had studied so carefully, was more than twenty years old, and that the quiet country road was no longer there. The drain now led directly to the parade ground where the police band had just finished practicing when the two robbers appeared before them.
64.What was Snoopy and Lou’s plan to escape from the prison?
A.They planned to run away while working
in the prison workplace.
B.They planned to climb over the prison wall, on the other side of which was a quiet country road.
C.They planned to crawl along the drain which led to a country road
D.They planned to get to the parade ground through the drain which was empty when the police band was not practicing.
65.Snoopy and Lou failed in their plan to escape because_________.
A.they did not play well before hand
B.they were not quick enough in their action
C.the policemen had been keeping a watchful eye on them
D.the map of the prison drain system they used was out of date
66.According to this article, which of the following statements is true?
A.When Snoopy and Lou went out of the drain, thirty policemen were waiting for them.
B.When Snoopy and Lou found themselves facing thirty policemen, they turned round and ran in the direction of the country road.
C.The policemen caught Snoopy and Lou by chance
D.The policemen were frightened more than surprised when the two robbers suddenly appeared before them
67.It seemed the judge________.
A.admired Snoopy and Lou for their cleverness
B.felt very proud to try the two famous robbers for their crime
C.was very angry at Snoopy and Lou’s breaking the law again and again
D.was sad at Snoopy and Lou’s breaking the law again

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 an 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.

1.At first, on hearing “You don’t say”, I thought the foreigner meant_______.

A. He was not interested in the topic

B. He was only interested in the Great Wall

C. I had talked too much   

D. I had to stop talking

2.The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means_______.

A. interesting          B. important    C. terrible        D. unlucky

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.

B. The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.

C. The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.

D. The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth (值得) visiting.

4.After the Englishman explained the idiom, ________.

B. The Englishman became a real fool

Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.

Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.

This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.

Harry Morrison, chief executive(主管)of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes:“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”

Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions(排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.

The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted(授予)the standard, they can use a logo(标识)in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.

1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.

B.Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.

C.Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.

D.Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ environmental awareness.

2.The underlined word “inform” in Paragraph 2 probably means“       ”.

A.affect        B.change       C.disturb        D.reject

3.According to Harry Morrison, businesses          .

A.will benefit from cutting carbon emissions

B.should buy carbon allowances for shoppers

C.are required to make up for their carbon emissions

D.have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere

4.We can learn from the passage that businesses will         .

A.have a strong desire to reduce costs

B.use the same logo in their marketing

C.gain advantages by taking early action

D.attract more shoppers by storing goods
