5．I understand him to help me．——青夏教育精英家教网—

One day I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently shaking his head and saying “You don’t say!” I was puzzled, and I thought , “Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about.” So I said to him,“Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been there?”
“Certainly! Everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful!”“Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it.” As I went on telling him more about it, he stopped me again, “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.
“Did you say ‘You don’t say!’?” I asked again.
Hearing this, the foreigner laughed loudly. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say!’ means ‘Really’. Perhaps you know little about English idioms(惯用语).”
Wow! How foolish I was! Since then I have been careful with English idioms.
【小题1】The writer was puzzled because .

doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to 6 . She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see

7 it would be possible for me to get a trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog.

8 six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to 9 him

home. My dog’s name is “Lucky” – a good name for him 10 I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation!

11 , you might ask? Well, he has been trained to 12 different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky! Fetch my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult 13 like “upstairs”.

Lucky is an 14 dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. Your donation 15 and the money is well used to help disabled people like me.

　　When I was leaving to meet Lynne, my friend Tony told me that I’d better take some money．But I didn't listen to him．I thought Lynne would pay because she had invited me．I arrived at the restaurant on time．I know Americans expect you to be on time．Lynne and I sat at a table and a waiter brought us some delicious food．

　　The dinner was a great success．We talked a lot while eating．After two hours, the waiter finally came and asked if we wanted one check(账单)or two, Lyrme said two．We went to the cashier and Lynne paid her check．I was embarrassed when the cashier gave me my bill．I had no money to pay for my meal．Then I had an idea．I said，“Oh! I forgot my wallet! Can I call my friend, please?" The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called Tony．In a few minutes, he arrived with some money, and paid my check．He laughed at me all the way home．Now, I think it's funny too, but at that time I was very embarrassed．I thought an invitation to　have dinner in America meant the same thing as that in China．Now I think you have to understand thai your customs are only your customs．When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs, too．They can be quite different．
