But soon, th
31、e 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. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “Y
32、ou dont say!” “You dont say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic(适当的话题). “Well, Id 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
33、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 again by his words：“You dont say!” I couldnt help asking, “Why do you ask me not to tal
34、k about it?” “Well, I didnt request you to do so, ” he answered, greatly ” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, You dont say actually means really! It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you dont pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a foo
35、l of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students. 60. At first, on hearing “You dont say,” I thought the foreigner meant _.A. he was not interested in the topicB. he was only interested in the Great W

38、quent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggies anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “Its mercy that brother of yours doesnt come oftener.”In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly
39、, around eight oclock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at
40、 least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “Youll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her. Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four o
41、f them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of Jamess voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before h
42、e left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two oclock. Maggies children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mothers words, “lost two wives and taken a third, ” They wondered abou
43、t those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the do
44、or. 63. The underlined word “mercy” in the text most probably means _. A. loss B. wonderC. lucky thing D. terrible thing 64. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because _.
