20.The Man Who Never Puts a Foot Wrong
Some people do not like anything to be out of place.They are never late for work; they return their books to the library on time; they remember people's birthdays; they pay their bills as soon as they arrive.Mr.Dodds is such a person.
Mr.Dodds works in a bank,and lives on his own.The only family he has is in the next town:his sister lives there with her husband,and her son,Mark.Mr.Dodds does not visit his sister,or her family,from one year to the next,but he sends them Christmas cards,and he has not forgotten one of Mark's seventeen birthdays.
Last week Mr.Dodds had quite a surprise.He drove home from the bank at the usual time,driving neither too slowly nor too fast.He parked his car where he always parked it,out of the way of other cars,and he went inside to make his evening meal.Straight away,there was a knock at the door.Mr.Dodds opened the door to find a policeman standing on the doorstep.
"What have I done wrong?"Mr.Dodds asked himself."Have I driven on the wrong side of the road?Has there been some trouble at the bank?Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?""Hello,uncle,"said the policeman,"my name is Mark."

10.Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes?Let's see if Ican 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 what 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.
56.What is this passage mainly about?D
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.
57.Which of the following proverbs are not related to money?C
A.tighten one's belt                        B.burn a hole in one's pocket
C.get caught with their pants down           D.pull money out of a hat
58.Tim often considers himself the most important person in the world,which is far from the truth.We may sayA.
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 sleeves"

A."you really fill your shoes".
B."Awesome!You wear your heart on your sleeves".
C."Amazing!How can you keep your shirt on at that time!"
D."Cool!You are truly a stuffed shirt".

12.When I put a foot in the school for the first time,the thing that I will never forget is a big smile coming from the people of the reception.This is the kind of things that means a lot to you when you are feeling like a strange person in a country that you have never been,as it was in my case.
In the classes,I don't know if I'm a lucky person,but the teachers that I have had,in my opinion,are excellent,very professional in their jobs,and they just seem to enjoy teaching,and make the lessons useful and classes amusing.
Another fact that I've really enjoyed is that the school is not only aimed at the English language knowledge.You can also find every kind of activity intended to entertain the students in their free time,with things like going to museums and galleries,visiting special places in the city or going to the very famous pub night to have a few beers with your friends.So here you have the opportunity to enjoy the stay in London,to meet new friends,and also to learn everything about the city and the British culture.
Personally,there are some facts that have not been easy for me since I arrived,like being so far away from my family,the differences between English food and the food I used to eat,and the high prices for everything.However,I am impressed about a very developed and multicultural city,with people aware of the sense of living in community,with a public transport amazingly thorough,with outstanding tourist places,with opportunities for work and with food from every part of the world that you can imagine.
I've experienced something priceless with my friends in London.Every time I made contact with my friends from another country,I learn about their culture.I was lucky to have such good friends.I think that time was a present for me.
56.What is the passage mainly about?A
A.The author's learning experience in London.
B.The friends the author made while in London.
C.The author's progress in learning English.
D.The poor memories in a foreign country.
57.When setting foot in the new country,the authorB.
A.felt the great pressure from foreigners
B.was uneasy in the unfamiliar environment
C.missed everything and everyone in his back home
D.had difficulty dealing with different cultures and customs
58.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?C
A.The author's experience in London is worthless.
B.Schools in London focus on no activities.
C.The author had some difficulty in adapting to the life in London.
D.The teachers are easily confused by the international students.
59.What did the author do besides his studies while in London?B
A.He learned the differences between languages.
B.He got to know the city with different cultures.
C.He served at many outstanding tourists places.
D.He made contact with friends from his home.
