阅读理解。     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 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 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 topic (适当的话题). "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. 1. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because _______.A. English idioms were not important

阅读理解。     Nikkli was brought up from a vey early age by her father while her sister was raised by her mother.
Nikki spent a very small amount of time with her mum and sister when she was about 6 years old, but
soon after contact stopped when communication broke down between her parents.
     She never felt she wanted to find her family while she was growing up. But now with a husband and
a son, she decided it was the right time.
     Nikki didn"t know where to start, but her husband"s mum had used 192. com for finding people
before and recommended it to her. With the help of her son, she started by searching for her sister"s
full name on the electoral roll (选民登记册) without a location, because she had no idea where she
lived, even her date of birth. From that one search, the site returned two results listed in the area they
used to live.
     Nikki decided to call the first number. To her absolute surprise, it was her long lost sister! So after
20 years, it was one phone call that helped her contact her sister! Her sister then passed her number
on to her mother, who called Nikki straight away, and it was like they had never been apart.
     Her mum was so glad to find out Nikki was well that they arranged to meet everyone that Saturday
(3 days after the phone call) where she was reunited with her sister and met her two nephews for the
first time. Nikki also found out she had a half (同父异母的) sister and brother.
     When talking about the reunion, Nikki said, "192.com made finding my long lost family very easy.
I was not on any social networking sites before and surprisingly neither was my sister or mum, so we
would never have found each other that way."

阅读理解。      George Banks was a clever journalist. He worked for a good newspaper, and  he liked arguing
very  much. He argued with anybody, and about anything. Sometimes the people whom he argued
with were as clever as he was, but often they were not.
      He did not mind arguing with stupid people at all: he knew that he could never persuade them to
agree, because they could never really understand what he was saying, and the stupider they were,
the surer they were that they were right; but he often found that stupid people said very amusing things.
     At the end of one argument which George had with one of these less clever people, the man said
some-thing which George has always remembered and which has always amused him. It was, "Well,
Sir, you should never forget this: there are always three answers to every question: you answer, my
answer,and the  correct answer."1. It seemed to George as if ________.A. it was more interesting to argue with as clever people as he was
B. it was more interesting to argue with clever people than with stupid ones
C. it was more interesting to argue with stupid people than with clever ones
D. it was no good arguing with stupid people2. From the passage we can conclude that________.A. George did nothing but argue with others
B. George was a man full of sense of humour

C. stupid people could be easily fooled
D. what stupid people said could often give him greater pleasure4. What one of the stupid people said at the end of one argument could be considered very________.
