From “pull someone's leg” to “be caught red-handed”, English has many “body-part” idioms(习语). How many of them have you learned Do you know how they came into being
Back in the 18th century. it was popular to have your portrait (肖像)painted. The cost depended on how many arms and legs were to be painted. The cheapest choice was to have only your head and shoulders painted. The price increased as the picture became larger to include your arms and legs. Now, can you guess the meaning of “cost an arm and a leg”
The idiom “pull someone's leg” came from the approach used by street thieves in London. Usually, the thieves worked in pairs. One of them used a rope to “pull” a person. The other thief then robbed (抢劫)the person as he or she lay on the ground. Today. nobody is likely to pull your leg with a rope. But you should still watch out. Someone might be thinking about pulling your leg by playing a trick on you!
Where there were bad guys. there should be laws. But the law that gave birth to the idiom “be caught red-handed” wasn't created in London. A few hundred kilometers away, in Scotland, anyone who killed a stolen animal would be punished. However, that person had to be caught “red-handed” —with the animal's blood still on his or her hands.
The idiom “give someone the cold shoulder” has something to do with an English custom. At the end of a party, the host would serve a cold cut of beef. This was not a direct way of telling the guests that they should leave. So if someone gives you the cold “shoulder”, you will have to walk away.
41. Which portrait might be the most expensive in the 18th century
A. B. C. D.
42. What does the underlined word “approach” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Tool. B. Method. C. Rope. D. Language.
43. Which idiom has to do with the law
A. Cost an arm and a leg. B. Pull someone's leg.
C. Be caught red-handed. D. Give someone the cold shoulder.
44. Why did the host serve a cold cut of beef to the guests
A. To tell the guests to leave. B. To share the food they like.
C. To show their kindness. D. To make the party perfect.
45. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
C
Marina was terribly afraid of the darkness. When lights went out. every shadow (阴影)appeared to her as the most terrible monsters (魔鬼)Her parents explained every day with great patience, but it didn't work.
One day her aunt came to visit. She was famous for her courage, and for having gone on many journeys of adventure. Marina asked her aunt how she became so brave and whether she had ever been scared.

“It was some blind children who taught me how to be brave. You know. they can't see. but they are never afraid of the dark.”
“It's true!” said Marina. “But why ”
“The secret is to change your eyes. Since blind children can't see, their hands are their eyes. All you have to do is what they do. So shut the eyes of your face but open the eyes of your hands. Tonight, when you go to bed and the light is out, if anything makes you scared, close your eyes. carefully get out of your bed. and try to see what is making you scared. But do it using your hands as eyes. . .”
Marina accepted, half worried and half decided because she knew she was already too old for this.
When her parents took her to bed, she herself turned off the light. After a little while, she felt afraid of the shadow again. Following the advice of her aunt, she closed her eyes, gathered up all her courage and went over to touch that mysterious shadow. . .
Early the next morning. Marina ran into the kitchen, smiling and feeling relaxed. “The monster is my teddy bear!”

A信息归纳 请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，完成信息卡。
Our words carry huge weight. They may influence people for years, and even for a lifetime. They provide them with courage to go on or one more reason to give up.
When I was fourteen, my family moved to another city. Junior high was always a difficult time for me, and the move made my ninth—grade year even harder. I remember walking into the dining hall for the first time. The other kids had good friends with them, but I didn't know anyone. I felt lonely and went to the nearest seat after getting some food. The kids beside me looked at me up and down and then laughed. I could feel my face turning red at that moment. Then one of the kids broke the ice. “Man! You have one BIG nose!” I felt hurt and didn't know what to say. I wanted to cry, but I managed a little smile—as it didn't hurt me at all. But it did. From then on. I would often look at myself in the mirror. I studied the big nose closely. It seemed that I was just living for my nose. Thankfully, I grew out of this influence finally. But it really took me twenty years.
There is another thing that kept deep in my mind. I remember going through a terrible business failure. I lost everything. I called my dad for help and he told me a lot about how to deal with the failure. What he said gave me a lot of courage and confidence to go on with my business.

I used to be lazy and wasn't interested in English. I was not good at communicating with others, either.
Last year, my new English teacher, Mrs. Zhao, had a long conversation with me. She gave me great help and encouraged me not to give up. She taught me some good ways of learning English. So I made a decision to study hard at English. For example, I took notes in class. I watched English movies as often as possible. I spent much time learning English every day. Besides, she encouraged me to make more friends and be friendly to others. With her help, I became much more outgoing and had great friends.
I'm very glad that everything goes well. The harder I work, the luckier I will be.
