The English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.

One such example is the word “matter”. In fact， matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.

Lets get to the heart of the matter—a matter of principle.

If someone says that you owe him $50， but you dont， a friend might say， “Well， you could pay him the $50. Its not that much money.” Then you wont have to hear him say it anymore. But if you do not owe him the money， do not pay him the money. Its a matter of principle.

There is another way to use the word “matter”. But be careful with your choice of words.

If you ask someone， “Whats the matter？” it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying， “Whats the matter with you？” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude. In fact， when you say， “Whats the matter with you？” you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.

Another expression that could sound rude is to say， “It doesnt matter to me.” Here， it depends on the context， and how you say it.

Lets say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with， “It doesnt matter to me.” Here， it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.

But saying， “Oh， you pick where we eat dinner. It doesnt matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation， “it doesnt matter” shows you are easy-going.

No matter how you look at it and what you say， “matter” is a very useful word. And its only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.

1. The author takes the word “matter” as an example to show .

A. it has a wide use

B. it is a kind of principle

C. it has the most expressions

D. it is the most used English word

A. Choice. B. Person.

C. Situation. D. Answer.

4. The author develops the text by .

A. using examples B. giving instructions

A year ago， I paid no attention to English idioms， though my teacher stressed the importance again and again. But soon， the importance of English idioms was shown in a funny experience.

One day， I met 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， and saying， “You dont say！” “You dont say！” I was puzzled. I thought， perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “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 China without seeing it. It is 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 order， “You dont say！” I couldnt help asking. I said， “Didnt you say you dont say.” 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 realize I had made a fool of myself. Since then， I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.

5. Why did the author pay no attention to English idioms a year ago？

A. He did not realize their importance.

B. He had no interest in English learning.

C. His teacher didnt stress the importance.

D. They were too difficult for him to master.

B. He had to stop talking at once.

C. The Englishman was not interested in the topic.

D. The Englishman did not understand what he said.

7. What did the Englishman mean by saying “You dont say”？

A. He was tired. B. He was bored.

C. He was interested. D. He was proud.

8. After the Englishman explained the idiom， the author ___ .

A. felt very silly

B. felt proud of his understanding

C. thought the man made him a fool

D. thought the man made a fool of himself

The principles about applying for jobs have varied greatly lately. In the past， people preferred a hand-written application letter. However， nowadays it is becoming more and more common to apply for a job through the Internet. You can find information on the Internet about how to apply for jobs. Information can be found about how to fulfill your application letter， the clothes that you should wear and how to carry out the interview itself.

The importance of body language is often mentioned， but doesnt always get the attention it deserves. After all， before a word has even been spoken， your body language will have already given people their first impression of you. Additionally， your body language will also give out a lot more information. Based on your body language it can be seen if you are self-confident. It can also show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking truthfully or not. Body language can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a nice person， someone who will take his work seriously， but also someone who has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time. The members of the application committee will ask you questions， but your answers wont only be oral. The committee will not only pay attention to what you say， but also to how you say it！ Body language will determine first if it “clicks”， and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds. Everybody uses body language， but it takes place mostly at a subconscious （潛意識的） level. Using body language appropriately， you can definitely increase your chances of getting a job.

1. Who is the text mainly meant for？

A. Interviewers. B. Job-hunting people.

A. help one remove nervousness

B. determine what position one will get

C. get rid of the interviewers doubtfulness

D. increase the possibility to get the wanted job

4. What is the authors idea about body language？

As you get together with friends and family for birthdays， holidays， or other celebrations， why not celebrate the environment too？ Here are some simple ideas for greening up your festivities （慶?；顒樱?

Choose eco-friendly gifts. Look for gifts made with the environment in mind. Or give gifts that get used up， like soap， food， or candles. 1 Or give the gift of your time， such as babysitting or computer help.

Green up your gift wrap （包裝）. Instead of spending money on store-bought wrapping paper that ends up in a dustbin， make your own wrapping from newspaper or magazines. Reusable gift bags are another good way to present gifts. 2

Decorate with the planet in mind. Holiday lighting can be a big energy user， so try to find efficient （高效的） lighting， such as LED lights. 3 If you light candles， choose natural ones.

Send greetings that really care. 4 Some people keep old cards， cut the pictures out， and use these to make new cards. Better still， go paperless with e-cards.

5 As you plan your event or celebration， keep in mind ways to reduce waste， such as using rechargeable batteries. If you receive gifts you cant return or use， pass them on to someone who can. Or you can donate them to someone who needs.

A. Reuse and recycle.

B. Green up your celebration.

C. Its our duty to protect the environment.

D. Theyre also easier to use than wrapping paper.

This summer holiday， I go to a seaside city with my family. We got there by air. It is a very beautiful and modern city， where impressed us a lot. On the first day， we took a bus to a place calling the Sea Park. There were such many different kinds of fishes that I couldnt believe in my eyes. On the second day， we went swimming， and we all enjoyed ourselves. During the next two days， we went to some tourist spot， shopping and taking photos. Several days late， we left the city. Although we were tiring on our way home， we felt happily about the holiday. What unforgettable experience！

書面表達(dá)

假如你是某英文雜志的特約記者，請你寫一篇英文稿，向讀者介紹肢體語言。內(nèi)容包括：

1.舉例介紹肢體語言;

2.說明它在日常交際中的作用。

注意：

2.可以適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié)，以使行文連貫。

How Body Language Makes You Popular

肢體語言是如何讓你更受歡迎的

Body language is extremely important when it comes to making good first impressions. Its always helpful to know what body cues show you in a positive light， especially during interviews or networking when youre meeting someone for the first time. It can make a difference and even make you more likeable. Keep these tips in mind when youre interacting with another person！

如果你想要創(chuàng)造良好的第一印象，肢體語言的作用極為重要。如果你知道了哪些肢體上的細(xì)節(jié)能給你帶來正面形象，那將會對你有很大的幫助。特別是參加面試或是你第一次與人見面時，一些肢體語言能讓你更受對方的青睞。在你和別人交流時記住以下小竅門吧！

Smile slowly. If youre too quick to come to a smile or drop one， your expression may not look genuine. Real smiles happen gradually， but remember not to do it too slowly because it can also look sham. Do your best to mimic a natural smile by practicing in the mirror！

漸漸露出笑容。如果你突然微笑或突然收斂笑容，你的表情看起來就會不那么自然。真實的笑容總是漸漸露出的，不過也不要笑得太慢，那樣也會顯得虛假。盡力在鏡子前練習(xí)一下自然的微笑吧！

Make eye contact. When talking to someone， making eye contact shows interest and also confidence. Dont go overboard and gaze without breaking eye contact， because that can make people feel uncomfortable. Spend the majority of the time making eye contact， but remember to briefly take breaks.

眼神交流。當(dāng)你和某人交談時，眼神交流能表現(xiàn)出你的興趣和自信。但也不要目不轉(zhuǎn)睛直勾勾地盯著對方看，那樣會讓別人感覺不適。用大部分時間作眼神交流，但也要記得偶爾放松。

Have good posture. Sit or stand up straight and avoid slouching. Slouching can make you look less professional and can possibly make you look less confident and enthusiastic.

保持好姿勢。坐著或站著的時候要筆直，不要沒精打采。沒精打采的樣子會讓你顯得不專業(yè)，也許也會讓你顯得缺乏自信和熱情。

Dont fidget. Dont fiddle with your hands or shake your leg because that can portray nervousness or restlessness. Relax and slow down your movements.

不要坐立不安。不要擺弄雙手或抖動腿腳，那會表現(xiàn)出你的緊張或不安。放松一點，放慢動作。

Stay uncrossed. Keep your hands and legs uncrossed because that can make you seem cold and distant. If youre not crossing your arms， youll look more open and less guarded.

不要交叉手腳。不要叉手盤腿，因為那樣會顯得你很冷，有距離感。如果你沒有兩手交叉，你就會顯得更開放，并且不那么具有防范性。
