AA young couple decided to get married. As the big day drew nearer and nearer, they both grew nervous because each of them had a problem. The bridegroom decided to ask his father for advice. “Dad,” he said, “I l ove Lily very much, but I have very smelly feet, so I’m afraid that she will not put up with them.” His father said,“All you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and you should always wear socks, even when you go to bed.” Well, it seemed a workable solution, the young man thought.The young woman turned to her mother. “Mom,” she said, “My morning breath is so bad that I’m afraid my new husband will not want to live in the same room with me. I love him.I can’t live without him.” Her mother said, “In the morning, get straight out of bed when you wake up, and head for the bathroom and brush your teeth. Don’t say any word before you brush your teeth.”The young woman followed her mother’s advice.They were finally married in a wonderful ceremony. Not forgetting the advice each had received, they carefully spent every day. The husband wore his socks every night and the wife kept her mornings silent; they did quite well until about a month later. Just before dawn, the husband woke only to find that one of his socks was gone! Thinking of the terrible result, he felt frightened at once. He jumped up and began to search the bed for his sock in a hurry. Of course, this made the wife woken. Without thinking, the wife asked, “What on earth are you doing？” The husband stopped in surprise, and then he cried, “Oh, no! You must have swallowed my sock!”21.

But 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 talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English，the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently （轻轻） shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders（耸肩），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 great and beautiful.” 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（打断） 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.25. A year ago，I paid no attention to English idioms because _____________ .A. English idioms were not importantB.

At first，on hearing“You don't say，”I thought the foreigner meant ________ .A. he was not interested in the topicB. he was only interested in the Great WallC. I had talked too muchD. I had to stop talking27. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means __________.A. interestingB. importantC. terribleD. unluckyCMADRID——What is it that makes people happy？ Youth, health, a good job, good looks, a flashy car？ None of these things, Spanish experts say. The concept of happiness is coming under increasingly close examination in Spain.As the nation rises to the club of the world’s wealthiest countries, people are discovering that material things do not bring happiness.“Most people use money as a measure. Of human value,” says Jesus Yunfante, author of a book on Spain’s 300 biggest fortunes.“Expensive products are regarded as the best. The rich are admired simply for being rich,” Yunfante said.Yet psychologists warn that happiness cannot be bought. They advise people to look for it in human relations and in the small pleasures of everyday life. Many people regard happiness as a moment of ecstatic pleasure（狂喜） -- something that, by definition, cannot last--while othersspeak of it as peace and acceptance of oneself. Polls（问卷调查） in different countries indicate that between 65 and 85 per cent of the world’ s population regard themselves as reasonably happy.Around 40 percent, of a person’s happiness is thought to be determined by genetics, while the rest depends on childhood environment and the process of growing up. Perhaps the most surprising thing about happiness is that it has little to do with age, health, wealth, or other values thought to be important in Western society. For most Spaniards, happiness is linked with feeling close to other people. Happy people accept their limitations and set themselves reachable goals, experts say.There are lifestyle choices which favor happiness, such as exercise, eating carbohydrates and exposing oneself to sunlight. But the main secret of happiness is to take pleasure in small things.“If you are given a choice between eternal （永久的）happiness, and a cheese sandwich, take the sandwich,” advises musician Julian Hernandez.28. Spain, as this passage tells us, __________.A. has built more clubs than the other countriesB. has owned the largest group of expertsC. has become one of the richest countries in the worldD. has produced the most wealth in the world29.

Happy people, as we can find in this passage, _________.A. are always full of feelingsB. are always born in rich familiesC. always enjoy every achievement they getD. always look down upon themselves31. What Julian Hernandez advises at the end of this passage suggests that________.A. he is not a happy musicianB. he is leading a hard lifeC. he doesn’t agree with the idea shown in the passageD. he is humorous and happyDBicycle SafetyOperation Always ride your bike in a safe, controlled manner on campus（校园）.
