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 amusingexperience.
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 astonished. 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 appropriate(适当的) 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 magnificent.”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 interrupted 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 request 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 I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
【小题1】A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because ____________.

When I was struggling with cancer a few years ago，my wife and I formed our own “couple caution circle”．Anytime a doctor came with news of my progress，my wife would give me a big hug. The reports were seldom good during the early stages of my illness，and one day a doctor brought particularly frightening news.Staring at my reports，he said in a low voice，“It doesn’t look like you’re going to make it.”
Before I could ask him a question，my wife stood up，handed me my clothes，adjusted the tubes fastened to my body and said，“Let’s get out of here.This man is a risk to your health.” As she helped me struggle to the door，the doctor came near us.“Stay back，” demanded my wife.“Stay away from us.”
As we walked together down the hall，the doctor attempted to catch up with us.“Keep going，” said my wife，pushing the intravenous (静脉注射的) stand.“We’re going to talk to someone who really knows what is going on.” Then she held up her hand to the doctor.“Don’t come any closer to us.”
The two of us moved as one.We escaped to the safety and hope of a doctor who did not confuse diagnosis with conclusion. I could never have made that walk toward wellness alone.

One day, Wilson was walking quietly along the road when someone hit him hard on the back of his neck．He looked behind him, and saw a young man whom he had never seen before．    
“How dare you hit me like that?” shouted Wilson．    
The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing．    
This insult (侮辱) made Wilson even angrier, of course, and he at once decided to bring the young man before a judge．    
Now, the judge, who heard the case, was a friend of the young man’s father’s, and, although he pretended to be quite fair, he was thinking about what he could do to protect the young man from being punished while at the same time not to be appearing unfair．   
Finally he said to Wilson, “I understand your feelings in this matter very well．Would you be satisfied if I let you hit the young man as he hit you?”    
Wilson said he would not be．The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished．    
“Well, then,” said the judge to the young man, “I order you to pay ten coins to Wilson．”    
Ten coins was very little for such a crime, but the young man did not have it with him, so the judge allowed him to go and get it．    
Wilson waited for him to return with the money．He waited an hour, and then two hours, while the judge took care of other business．    
When it was nearly time for the court to close, Wilson chose a moment when the judge was especially busy, came up quietly and hit him hard on the back of the neck．Then he said to him, “I am sorry, but I can’t wait any longer．When the young man comes back, tell him that I have passed my right to the ten coins on to you．”

It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet   26 . The loaded plates I carried   27  to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything   28 . As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice cream   29  a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father   30  at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you’ve   31  us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness   32 . I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “  33 ! Those few words of praise had   34  everything. Praise is like   35  to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And   36 , while most of us are only too   37  to apply to others the cold wind of criticism (批评), we are   38  to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why so when one word of praise can bring such   39 ?”
It’s strange how chary (吝啬的) we are about praising. Perhaps it’s    40  few of us know how to accept it. It’s   41  rewarding to give praise in   42  in which an effort generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. An artist gets admiration for a wonderful picture, a cook for a   43  meal. But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are   44  just right? In fact, to give praise   45  one nothing but a moment’s thought and moment’s effort.
