People use languages to communicate （交流）.Any language has its ways to express people' s minds. One of the ways in common is the use of idioms（习语）.An idiom is a group of words. It has a special meaning that is different from the usual meaning. For example, under the weather is an idiom meaning ill. So when people say ilV m under the weather” , they are saying that they' re not feeling well. Another example, in all weathers means in all kinds of weather. So, 'There are homeless people sleeping on the streets in all weathers" tells us that homeless people sleep on the streets no matter whether it is cold or hot.Different languages may have different ways to make idioms. For people who are learning a foreign language, idioms could cause misunderstandings and bring them endless problems. On the other hand if things are done right, idioms can also be a fun way of looking into a new culture and understanding how the people think and talk.Metaphor （比喻）is often used in idioms. Let' s read the following two examples: Example 1: It makes my blood（血液）（煮沸）when my brother breaks my computer. Example 2: The night was dark and quiet; my blood ran cold when I heard a strange noise outside on a dark night.In neither situation above, can our blood reach the point so high or so low in temperature. However, with the situations the two sentences created, it is not difficult to understand the feeling in the first example and very afraid in the second.Of course, not all idioms are this easy to understand. When we come to idioms of a foreign language,a good dictionary of idioms is always suggested.1. The passage tells us something about in the English language.A. grammarB. writingC. readingD. idiomsIf your brother tells you he is under the weather, you can advise him to.A. see a doctorB. stay at homeC. take an umbrellaD. wear fewer clothes2. Which of the following words can be put in "” ?A. sadB. angryC. excitedD. proudWhaf s the writer5 s suggestion when you come to an idiom that you can' t understand?A. We should try to express our minds with it.B. We should find an interesting way to learn it.C. We should look it up in a good idiom dictionary.D. We should create situations to guess its meaning.（）12. For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges（挑战）of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isn' t always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains（大脑）. In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing（组织）their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally “difficult" subjects, such as maths.What does this mean for children who aren' t active? Researchers think that if kids don1 t get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.In the research experiment, a group of children skipped with ropes（Ek绳），played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didn' t do any activities. They took part in testing both before experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for maths and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than thosewho had no activity.All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull（迟钝的）boy, but will also negatively（消极地） affect his grades in school, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.Parents complain（抱怨）children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr. Belton, an expert, said, "If you* d like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play/'What does the underlined words "rest easy" in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Stop worrying. B. Keep working. C. Continue learning. D. Study hard.1. In Paragraph 5, what does the research experiment want to show us?A. Doing activities is bad for the students.B , Doing more homework can get better marks.C. The children in the activity group did better on the tests.D. Children who didn' t do any activities did better on the tests.2. To help children get better grades, parents shouldA. ask the researchers for helpC. encourage them to do more activities4. What is the best title of the passage?A. Studying hard.C. Doing activities is interesting.A. ask the researchers for helpC. encourage them to do more activities4. What is the best title of the passage?B. Studying hard.C. Doing activities is interesting.C. help them to organize their schoolworkD. let them solve problems by themselvesB. Taking part in testing.D. Being active is helpful for better grades.（）13. A mother held her new baby and very slowly rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
