       A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms(习语), though my teacher emphasized (强调)the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown   36  an amusing experience.

One day, I   37   to meet an English man on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I   38   about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be   39  , gently shaking his head, shrugging (耸一耸) his shoulders, saying, “You don't say!” “You don't say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an proper topic. Well, I'd  40  change the topic. So I said to him. “Well.   41   we talk about the Great Wall?   42   the way, have you ever  43   there?” “Certainly , everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing   44  . It was magnificent.” He was   45   in thought when I began to talk  46   a tourist guide, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world.
