When I was 13, my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant beating out Miller King, who was the best ______ at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I ______ out. I carried my football everywhere for practice.

Just before September, Miller was hit by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from hospital. He looked very ____, but he didn’t cry.

That season, I ______ all of Miller’s records while he watched the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, but I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for (為......負(fù)責(zé)) Miller’s _____.

One afternoon, I was crossing the fieldand saw Miller stuck (卡在) going over a fence — which wasn’t hard to climb with both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept help from. But even that ______ he accepted. I helped him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally safe on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did ____. Thank you for filling in for me.”

His words freed me from my bad dreams. I thought to myself, how even without an arm he wasmore of a leader. Harmed but not__, he was still ahead of me. I was right to have admiredhim. From that day on, I grew bigger and a little more real.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

Idioms are one of the hardest parts of learning a language. An idiom is a phrase which has a meaning, but the meaning is not clear from the words themselves. They are like puzzles. If you translate an idiom word for word, it sometimes makes no sense at all. That’s why even native speakers can get confused when someone uses a phrase that they’ve never heard of.

Here are four common English idioms every English student should know in a lot of situations.

1.Get your act together (Meaning: you need to improve your behaviour/work)

This might be something your teacher says to you if you score badly in an exam or if you misbehave in class. You can also use it to talk about people in general. For example, if your friend is being mean for no reason, then you can tell them that they need to get their act together.

2.Pull yourself together (Meaning: calm down)

It’s not polite to say “pull yourself together”to tell people to relax while they’re overreacting (反應(yīng)過激). Only use this if you think the person you are speaking to is getting upset over something important. When your friend tells you that their close relative has died, it is NOT the time to tell them to pull themselves together.

3.I’m feeling under the weather (Meaning: I’m sick)

Yes, it’s longer and more difficult to say than “I’m sick”, but if your English teacher asks you why you haven’t done your homework, he or she is more likely to forgive (原諒) you if you say that you were feeling under the weather.

4.Break a leg (Meaning: good luck!)

This is perhaps one of the most confusing yet well-known English idioms. If someone says this to you, do not think they are frightening you; they are just wishing you luck. It is most often used for people wishing success to actors and actresses before they perform on the stage, but it can be said in other situations, too.

All in all, learning a new language can be challenging. It’s certainly not a piece of cake, especially when there are so many confusing idioms. However, with enough hard work and interest, you will succeed in no time. Break a leg!

1.What is an idiom?

2.How many common English idioms are talked about in the passage?

3.Is it polite to say“pull yourself together”to tell people to relax while they’re overreacting?

4.Which idiom can you use to wish somebody luck?

5.What is the passage mainly about?

1.An idiom is a phrase which has a meaning, but the meaning is not clear from the words themselves. 1’檔：①Idioms are one of the hardest parts of learning a language. ②They are like puzzles. If...
