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(惊讶). Gently shaking his head,shrugging(耸)his shoulders, he said,“You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled(疑惑不解). I thought , perhaps this is not an appropriate(适当的)topic. “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(打断) 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.” I realized I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion(情感), unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell(咆哮).But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing (抑制) anger.

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones(荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently(强烈地) may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

Doctors say the solution(解决办法) is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

70. “Damaging emotion” means that __________.

A. the emotion is harmless                       B. the emotion is harmful

C. the feeling is very strong             D. the feeling is hard

71. What statement is right?

A. Were you angry, you would be cancered.

B. Once you are angry, you must be cancered.

C. Angry as you are often, you can’t be cancered.

D. Anger may cause you a cancer.

72. Expressing anger violently __________repressing it according to some scientists.

A. is just the same as                                 B. is more harmful than

C. is no better than                                    D. is much better than

73. According to the author, you’d better__________.

A. never be angry     

B. cool down your anger before you express it

C. laugh and laugh when you get angry

D. admit you are wrong when you are angry

25. 难度:简单

 

说明:阅读下面短文,根据短文内容从A-F选项中选出一个最恰当的选项作为每段的标题,选项中有一项为多余选项。

A.      Current situation and future of reality shows

B.      Audience’s reaction to reality TV

C.      Critics’ relevant comments

D.      Attractions for producers and participants

E.       Definition of “watch and dial ”show

F.       Introduction to new reality shows

 

 

 
74.

 

 
 European television had the idea of taking ordinary people and turning them into “stars” by putting them in unusual situation. “Big Brother” (created in Holland) was one of the first. A group of people were locked in a small house with cameras running 24 hours a day. It was called a “watch and dial” show because viewers vote by telephone to decide who should leave or stay.

75.

“Big Brother” was probably the first of the new reality shows, but such a programme has developed. Many have found appeal(有吸引力) by having a theme to them, but most are based on the principle of “survival of the fittest” by eliminating(排除) participants(参与者) as the series progresses .So we have the dating shows where winners either pair off or stay true to their partners outside the TV studio. Then there are those that test people’s abilities for specific jobs like running a kitchen, becoming an interior designer or a top model.

 

 
76.

Critics say these programmes are basically bad television, but people watch them. So why are there so many of them? For the viewer it’s an opportunity to “people watch”. It’s natural to like watching other people. They’re interesting. We can imagine what we would do in that situation. We get to know the characters and see them grow and develop week after week. And of course, television is the perfect place to watch people. Like the theatre or cinema we can look at other people and they can’t look back. But with television, we can watch in our own homes. We watch, but we don’t have to admit it to anyone.

 

 
77.

The TV companies like reality shows because they are cheap to produce and attract younger viewers, which advertisers like. The last “Big Brother” in Britain attracted enormous(巨大的) advertising revenue. They aren’t dependent on “star” actors with enormous salaries. And your actors won’t go on strike. And why do people participate in them? Well, for fame and money of course. In the past, appearing on television wasn’t for ordinary people. You had to be good at something, like sport, or reading the news, or acting .But not any more

 

 
78.

It seems that most shows do well at the beginning but then the viewing figures begin to fall .And it varies from country to country too. For example ,one show had an adopted child try to guess the identity of her real father, and another had a family arguing over an inheritance(遗产).Both were cancelled after one episode(一集). Perhaps the novelty(新鲜感) has worn off. Certainly, reality TV seems to appeal much more to the younger audience. And now there are so many shows around even the young have become more critical. Reality show will probably survive—it’s just no longer so easy to make a successful one .
