24、is class would visit the fire station. His uncle Frank was one of the firemen (消防队员) and would show the class around during the visit. The next day, Justins class left for the fire station and waited for Uncle Frank to come and start their visit. They began by looking at the big fire trucks (消防车). “

25、Being a fireman is a hard job,” said Uncle Frank. “You need to be in good health and get enough rest.” The children got to try on some fire hats and climbed on the trucks. After looking at all the trucks, the class went inside, and Uncle Frank showed them where they stayed when they were not fightin

26、g a fire. Uncle Frank told them that when there was a fire, the alarm rang (警报响起). Just as he finished showing them the alarm, it rang! All the men got ready to leave for the fire. “I am sorry,” Uncle Frank said to the class. “We need to leave now, but Mr Martin will stay with you.” The firemen ran

27、quickly to the fire trucks and left the station. Mr Martin showed the class around inside the station. That night Justin told his parents about the great trip to the fire station. “We learned some ways to prevent (预防) fires and what to do if our house ever had a fire,” said Justin. “It sounded like

31、Justin learned some ways to fight fires from the visit.D. Uncle Frank allowed the class to drive the fire trucks.C A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was s

32、urprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other peoples rule. They make their ow

33、n rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way. Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, How shall I begin? only means that you want to begin at the head instead of

34、beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail - that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you

35、 have even thought of the beginning.11. A friend of the writers drew the horses _. A. very well B. in the way of western rule C. in the way of his own rule D. all of the above12.

36、he tail of the horse C. the artist made his own rule D. the artist did not follow other peoples rule13. You are not yet experienced because _. A. you dont know where to begin B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail C. you always asked question D. you do not trust to your ow

37、n powers14. when you become more experienced you will _. A. never ask question B. often begin at the tail C. should write the end of the story D. should think of the beginning15. The topic of the passage is A. How to draw a horse B. How to write a story C. How to make your own rules D. Trust to your

38、 own powersD An idiom (习语) is a phrase that we cant understand from the meaning of each word. For example, if an American boy asks his mom whats for dinner tomorrow, she may say “Ill play it by ear”, that means she doesnt have plans for dinner and she will decide later. “Play it by ear” used to mean

39、 playing music without using the sheet music, but now people often use it when theyre not talking about music! There are many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be much more vivid and colourful. Have you ever heard the idiom “He bought the farm?” It means he died. Do you

40、know how it became popular? It was first used in World War I. When a soldier died, the government gave his family enough money to buy a farm. In the early 1930s, people in the US often did not know when or where their next meal was. 所以他们手里一有可以吃的东西就将进入他们的嘴中。That was why people began to use the idiom

41、“living hand to mouth” to mean “living a poor life”. And dont be angry if your English friend says this to you, “Break a leg in your game!” He is wishing you good luck! Hundreds of years ago, people believed in sprites (小妖精). Sprites enjoyed causing trouble. If the sprites heard you ask for somethin

42、g, they would make the opposite happen. Tell someone to “break a leg” and the sprites would make something good happen. Arent English idioms interesting? And break a leg in your next football match!任务（一）根据要求完成下列各项阅读任务。16. 把处的英语句子翻译成汉语。 _17. 改写处的句子，意思保持不变。一空一词。 _ to use them, _ your English will be m
