18．There are many American expressions about insects．
Bees are known as very hard workers．So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house．In fact，you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean．You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away．When we go to see a movie，my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn．If something was the best of its kind，you might say it was the bee's knees．Now，we admit that we do not know how this expression developed．In fact，we do not even know if bees have knees!If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important，you might say she has a bee in her bonnet．If someone asks you a personal question，and you would like not to tell him or her，you might say，"That is none of your beeswax．"
Butterflies are beautiful insects，but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach．That means to be nervous about having to do something，like speaking in front of a crowd．You would also not want to have ants in your pants．That is，to be restless and unable to sit still．
If a friend keeps asking you to do something you do not want to do，you might ask him to leave you alone or"stop bugging me"．A friend also might tell you again and again to do something．If so，you mighe say he put a bug in your ear．If you were reading a book in your warm bed on a cold winter's day，you might say you were snug as a bug in a rug．And，if you wish someone good night，you might say，"sleep tight-don't let the bed bugs bite．"

5．Bill was doing a lot of physical exercise to builcl up his______．（　　）

15．In summer，some people avoid outdoor activities because they don't want to get hot and sticky or sun burnt．Luckily，there are some outdoor activities which don't involve breaking sweat．
River rafting
Hot summer weather and cool water-what a perfect match!River rafting can be both scenic and exciting．When the raft follows a gentle stream，the views of the countryside or valley is like a traditional Chinese painting．And when you enter white water where the riverbed creates a natural roller coaster，you feel a rush of adrenaline （肾上腺素）．Paddle your raft to the riverbank to have a picnic or barbecue which will taste best when you are starving．
Where to find：River rafting trips are usually on offer in mountainous or valley regions such as the Three Gorges．
Tips：Wear a helmet and life jacket at all times； bring enough sunscreen； and bring lots of water．
Caving
People say that the only naturally air-conditioned place in summer is a big cave．It is true．Cave tours featuring light shows are old hat．Now it's time to wear a lamp on your helmet like a mineworker to explore caves in darkness．Exploring unknown caverns and navigating underground rivers is what makes caving so thrilling．Plus，caving can be a very healthy sport，for the oxygen level is usually higher so basically you are having an oxygen spa as the bonus．
Where to find：caving can be very risky，so consult local travel agents and go in groups with professional cavers．
Tips：Follow your guides； drink enough water to avoid dehydration（脱水）； and wear strong and not easily damaged hiking boots．
Coastal walking/cycling and beach activities
For those who live far away from mountains，coastal regions and beaches are good places to spend time in the summer．With sea breezes in your hair，it is nice to take a hike or cycle ride while enjoying the coastline．If you want to be sportier，try beach games，such as soccer and volleyball．It's a totally different experience from playing on hard courts or grass．
Where to find：Just go to the beach or find an urban artificial beach such as the one in Chatoyant Park in Beijing or the man-made lake beach in Wuhan．
Tips：Loads of sunscreen needed； water and snacks are necessary； be aware of jellyfish and garbage floating in the water．

2．Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment．
Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water．Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．
There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes； and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control．
Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from reused materials．But the final goal should be"green gyms"．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all，it's free．
