26、atch by a little bit. Ask for the moon If someone tells you not to ask for the moon, they mean you cant ask for something that you cant get or have, or try for something impossible. On cloud nine This expression is used to describe how you feel when something good happens to you, such as when you wi

27、n first prize in a competition, when you get an A in an exam, or when you receive a nice present from your parents which you want to get so much. Sick as a dog If you are feeling very ill, you may have used this expression. Dogs eat everything they find, which means they may easily get sick. So when

28、 people say that you are “sick as a dog”, dont feel strange or even angry because they dont mean to offend you. Have your heart in your mouth This expression means that you are really scared or nervous about something. The ancient Greek poet Homer used the expression when he wrote the famous poem Th

29、e Illiad, and people have been using it ever since. 57. Which of the following is NOT an example of doing something “by the skin of your teeth”? A.

32、ders the meanings of some English idioms. D. To tell readers how the above English idioms started being used. B Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.

33、axing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, youve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard. Many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelin

34、gs, and are often angry with themselves afterwards . Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists . “Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying no risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even

35、a job.” The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable . Anyone should have the right to say “no”. In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling. But, for people used to agreeing t

36、o every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process. Most people believe that “If I say no, Ill lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this: “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him , then

37、 the price of his affection is too high in the long term.” Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的 ) solution. “One needs to present the situation from ones own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The o

38、ther person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.” When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message . 61.

41、es” More Than “No” C Anyone Has The Right To Say “No” D. Its Hard To Say “No” C There are three branches of medicine. One is called “ doctor medicine,” or “scientific medicine.”Scientific doctors try to observe sicknesses, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works. From t

42、here they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients. A second kind of medicine is called “natural cures,”or “medicine,”in which les

43、s educated people try to cure sickness with various herbs. These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished long before the development of scientific

44、medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine. The third kind is called “health spas,”or “faith healing.”Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell, to cure you. So
