  A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized(强调) the importance again and againBut 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 talkAs I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprisedGently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, You don't say! You don't say! I was puzzledI 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 backhome will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing itIt 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 worldWe 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 surrisedI said, Didn't you say 'You don't say'? Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tearsHe began to explain,“‘You don't sayactually means 'really'! It is an expression of surprisePerhaps you don't pay attention to Eng lish idioms.” Only then did I know how foolish I had beenSince then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions

  Scientists are learning more about our need for sleep. Most people sleep 1 eight hours each night. Some people sleep more than 2 and others sleep as few as two or three hours each night. Scientists do not know exactly 3 some people sleep more than others. Dr. Ernest Hartman has a(n) 4 about this. He believes the 5 of sleep depends on how a person attacks problems. He said people who need only a few 6 sleep usually are people who have much energy and make good 7 of time to get their work 8 quickly. But he said many people who sleep 9 than normal do creative work and seem to need 10 dreaming time to find 11 to emotional problems. Some scientists agree with this idea and others argue.

  To determine the results of the 12 of sleep, scientists have put subjects 13 a set of mental and performance tests 14 them, for instance, 15 columns of numbers or recall a passage 16 to them only minutes earlier, “We've found 17 you're in sleep deficit(缺乏), performance 18 ,” says Dr. David. Short-term memory is 19 , as are abilities to 20 decisions and to concentrate.
