Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes? Let’s see if I can name a few proverbs “off the cuff” since I haven’t prepared for it.

English expressions with “pants”
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are restless or nervous have “ants in their pants.” They might also “fly by the seat of their pants” -- they use their natural sense to do something instead of their learned knowledge. Sometimes, people may “get caught with their pants down” -- they are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say “she wears the pants in the family.”
When people want to say something about money
Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can “burn a hole in your pocket.” Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to “tighten your belt” -- you may have to live on less money and spend your money carefully. But once you have succeeded in budgeting your money, you will have that skill “under your belt.”
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much. I really “take my hat off to them.” Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it “at the drop of a hat” -- immediately, without waiting. And sadly, you cannot “pull money out of a hat” -- you cannot get money by inventing or imagining it.
English expressions with “shoes”
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. People who are “too big for their boots” think they are more important than they really are. I dislike such people. I really do. You can bet your boots on that!
Yet, truly important people are hard to replace. Rarely can you “fill their shoes” -- or replace them with someone equally effective.
English expressions with “shirt”
My father is an important person. He runs a big company. He wears a suit and tie and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms. Some people who do not know him well think he is too firm and severe. They think he is a real “stuffed shirt.” But I know that my father “wears his heart on his sleeve” -- he shows his feelings openly. And, he knows how to “keep his shirt on” -- he stays calm and never gets angry or too excited.    
【小題1】. What is this passage mainly about? 
A.How to say English correctly and properly.
B.Why English expressions include words about clothes.
C.Which words can be used to describe my father.
D.What people mean when they use some proverbs.
【小題2】. Which of the following proverbs are not related to money?
A.tighten one’s beltB.burn a hole in one’s pocket
C.get caught with their pants downD.take one’s hat off to them
【小題3】. Tim often considers himself the most important person in the world, which is far from the truth. We may say __________.
A.he is “too big for their boots”.B.he “bet his boots on that”.
C.he “fill their shoes”.D.he “wears his heart on his sleeve”.
【小題4】 If you want to praise somebody for his calmness when facing danger, you may say__________.
A.“You really fill your shoes.”
B.“Awesome! You wear your heart on your sleeve!”
C.“Amazing! How can you keep your shirt on at that time!”
D.“Cool! You are truly a stuffed shirt”.

You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset .When you take and take without giving anything back ,you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.
The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values .I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.
Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.
When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.
When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.
【小題1】The main purpose of this passage is to ___________.

A.persuade the readers to make a commitment
B.inform the readers how to be truly happy
C.explain to the readers what personal values are
D.instruct the readers how to make wise choices
【小題2】According to the text, living by your being values ,you would   ___________.
A.gain a lot of power B.fill your own needs
C.seek all human virtues D.form positive personality
【小題3】The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 means ___________.
A.a(chǎn) feeling of emptiness B.a(chǎn)n absence of one’s mind
C.a(chǎn) break of continuity D.a(chǎn) state of confusion
【小題4】Which of the following does not belong to “your having values”?
A.your success in the competition B.the help from your friends
C.your own peaceful mind D.the friendship
【小題5】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Having values are better than being values.
B.The way other people think of you decides who you are.
C.A calm person does not choose to complain.
D.A responsible person does not care about financial security.

Friendships can be difficult — because often people aren't as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people finally get hurt.
Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of themselves and their own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should be against.
The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friends the same way that you'd like to be treated(對(duì)待). This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friends everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she was in your shoes.
Even if you're always thinking about how you'd like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are problems that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these problems so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Problems like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are problems that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these friend problems so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.
【小題1】This passage mainly talks about ________.

A.the importance of friendship
B.the advantages(益處) of friendship
C.the problems of friendship
D.the disadvantages(劣勢(shì)) of friendship
【小題2】According to the writer, problems with friendship may appear when ________.
A.one is honest B.one is selfish C.one is open D.one is kind
【小題3】According to the passage, the first and most important thing to be other people's friend is ________.
A.to treat your friend as you like to be
B.to give your friends whatever you have
C.not to hurt your friends' feelings
D.not to think of your own need any more
【小題4】What's the purpose of understanding how to deal with friendship problems?
A.To have a comfortable life.
B.To build stronger and healthier friendships.
C.To be treated the way you want.
D.To get a boyfriend or girlfriend more quickly.

Science Daily (May 1S, 2012) - People who rate themselves as having high emotional    intelligence (El) tend to overestimate (高估) their ability to detect deception(欺騙) in others.      This is the finding of a paper published in the journal Legal and Criminological Psychology on 18 May 2012.
Professor Stephen Porter. director of the Centre for the Advancement of Psychological     Science and Law at University of British Columbia Canada along with colleagues Dr. Leanne Brinke and Alysha Baker used a standard questionnaire to measure the EI of 116 participants.
These participants were then asked to view 20 videos from around the world of people     pleading (祈求) for the safe return of a missing family member. In half the videos the person     making the plea was responsible for the missing person's disappearance or murder.
The participants were asked to judge whether the pleas were honest or deceptive say how much confidence they had in their judgments, report the clues (線索) they had used to make those judgments and rate their emotional response to each plea.
Professor Porter found that higher EI was associated with overconfidence in assessing the sincerity of the pleas and sympathetic feelings towards people in the videos who turned out to be responsible for the disappearance.
Although EI, in general, was not associated with being better or worse at telling the difference between truths and lies. people with a higher ability to notice and express emotion (a component of EI) were not so good at spotting when people were telling lies.
Professor Porter says: "Taken together, these findings suggest findings features of emotional     intelligence and the decision-making processes they lead to may nave the paradoxical (適得其反的) effect of weakening people's ability to detect deception."
"These findings are important because El is a well-accepted concept and is used in a variety of fields, including the workplace"
【小題1】Which of the following is true about the study and its findings?

A.EI has something to do with telling truths and 1ies.
B.The participants were asked to identify liars on the spot.
C.The participants had to tell reasons for their judgments.
D.Those confident participants all made wrong judgments.
【小題2】According to Professor Porter's finding, people with higher EI
A.were actually less confident
B.were easy to be cheated for their kindness
C.had sympathy for the missing people
D.were good at spotting deception
【小題3】What does the underlined word "they" refer to?
A.Features of EI B.People with high Ef C.The findings D.The researchers
【小題4】Workplace is specially mentioned in the last paragraph to ______.
A.indicate that people with high EI are mostly adults
B.indicate that EI is very important in the workplace
C.warn employers not to trust employees with high EI
D.warn people with high EI of deception in the workplace
【小題5】What is the best title for the passage?
A.How to detect deception in our daily life.
B.The disadvantages of high emotional intelligence.
C.The relationship between one's El and recognition.
D.Emotionally intelligent people are less good at spotting liars.
