1.Proverbs(諺語) are quite common in spoken English.We don't normally put them in a composition or a letter.Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean.Here are a few examples.
1)"Once bitten,twice shy."If a dog bites me,I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it.This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs.If you have been cheated at a shop,you will not go to the same shop again.
2)"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."If I am a hunter,trying to catch birds,it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them.Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.
3)"Don't be a dog in a manger(槽)"means"Don't be selfish."In a stable (馬房),the manger is the place where the horse's food is put.Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food.The dog does not want to eat the food in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.
4)"He is sitting on the fence"means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it.He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides,perhaps waiting to see which side will win.
5)"He who pays the piper calls the tune."A piper is a musician.The man who employs   or pays a musician can say what tunes the musician will play.Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan,he can say how it will be carried out.
6)"You can't get blood out of a stone"means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want.e.g.you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.

32.Peter has a bicycle which is much too small for him but he does not want to let his younger brother ride on it.His mother is angry and says to him:B.
A.You can't get blood out of a stone   
B.Don't be a dog in a manger
C.Once bitten,twice shy.
D.To pour oil on troubled waters
33.Mr.Wang paid for a new school.Some people didn't like the design of the school but they didn't argue with Mr.Wang becauseC.
A.he was sitting on the fence        
 B.once bitten,twice shy
C.he who pays the piper calls the tune  
D.a(chǎn) bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
34.Mrs.Lin wanted to buy a new dress.Her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home.Mrs.Lin disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop.So she said:"I won't go there again becauseC."
A.a(chǎn) bird in the hand is worth two in the bush  
B.I am sitting on the fence
C.once bitten,twice shy                      
D.too many cooks spoil the broth
35.Mr.Brown had quite a good job in Hong Kong but he thought that if he went to Singapore,he might get a much better job with more money and a larger house.His wife didn't want him to leave his job in Hong Kong and she reminded him thatA.
A.a(chǎn) bird in the hand is worth two in the bush  
B.too many cooks spoil the broth
C.you cannot get blood out of a stone        
D.he who pays the piper calls the tune.

11.It's hard to predict the weather in the near future.It's even more difficult to know what the climate of the coming season is like.Now you know the winter of 2011/12 was not warm but a freezing one/many people in the Northern Hemisphere died of cold.but a Native American tribe was fortunate enough to survive the terrible winter because of what was foretold b y a weatherman.
One day in early September o 2011 the chief of the Native American tribe was asked by his tribal elders if the winter was going to be cold or mild.The chief asked his medicine man,but the man also had lost touch with the reading signs from the natural world around the Great Lakes.
In truth,neither of them had idea about how to predict the coming winter.However,the chief decided to take a modern approach,and rang the National Weather Service in Gaylord Michigan.
"Yes,it is going to be a cold winter,"the weatherman told the chief.Consequently,the chief went back to h is tribe and told his tribe people to collect plenty of firewood.
A fortnight later the chief called the National Weather Service and asked for an update."Are you still forecasting a cold winter?"he asked.
"Yes,very cold,"the weatherman told him.

A month later the chief called the National Weather Service once more and asked about the coming winter."Yes,"he was told,"it s going to be one of the coldest winters ever."
The weatherman was right!And the Native American tribe went comfortably through the terrifying winter.The chief was thankful and curious.He rang the weatherman again and asked,"How can you be so sure about it tat it was freezing winter?"

6.The way we cook is important.In many countries,the two choices are(68)natural(nature) gas or electric-powered stoves.
The World Health Organization warns that millions of people (69)are suffering(suffer) from indoor air pollution at present time,which results from the use of (70)dangerous(danger) fuels and cook-stoves in the home.
WHO officials say nearly three billion people are (71)unable(able) to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking,heating and lighting.As a result,more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year.Most of the deaths are in (72)developing(develop) countries,such as lndia,China and Latin American countries.
WHO officials say opening a window or door(73)to let(let)out the harmful air will not correct the situation (74)It/Thatwill only pollute the outdoors.
Nigel Bruce,(75)whois a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool,says researchers are developing good cook-stoves and other equipment to burn fuels(76)ina more efficient way.
But,this is just a start.It is urging developing countries to use(77)cleaner(clean) fuels and increase access to cleaner and more modern cooking and heating appliances(用具).

13.Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is,they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much.Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds:What kind of impression am I making?Do they like me?Do I sound stupid?Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably.A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions.In general,the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people,who have low respect,are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others.They need faith that they are doing"the right thing".Shy people are very sensitive to criticism.It makes them feel inferior(自卑).They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise.A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one:"You're just saying that to make me feel good,I know it's not true."It is clear that,while self-awareness is a healthy quality,overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely got rid of,or at least reduced?Fortunately,people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect.It is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us has his or her own characteristics.We are interested in our own personal ways.The better we understand ourselves,the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.

25.The first paragraph is mainly aboutB.
A.the cause of shyness
B.the effect of shyness on people
C.the feelings of shy people
D.the questions in the minds of shy people
26.According to the writer,self-awareness isD.
A.harmful to people
B.a(chǎn) weak point of shy people
C.the cause of unhappiness
D.a(chǎn) good characteristic
27.What is the shy people's reaction to praise?B
A.They are pleased by it.
B.They feel it is not true.
C.They are very sensitive to it.
D.They feel they are worthy of it.
28.We can learn from the passage that shyness canA.
A.be overcome with determination
B.help us to live up to our full development
C.enable us to understand ourselves better
D.have nothing to do with lack of self respect.
