Directions: Underline as many idioms that you can find in the following passage. One has been done for you as an example. Is There a Skeleton in Your Closet？ Everyone thinks I'm the big cheese in math. The real truth is that I have to beat my brains out to get good grades. Today, the cat got out of the bag – everyone saw right through me. Today was a terrible day. I was down in the dumps from the minute I got out of bed. The first thing that I thought about was the math test that I would have to take at 1:00 pm. My studying last night wasn’t worth a hill of beans, and I knew I’d be in a pretty pickle when I got to math class. If that wasn’t bad enough, my little brother kept getting in my hair during breakfast. Mom was madder than a wet hen when my little brother and I got into a big fight. She almost bit our heads off! When I left for school, it was raining cats and dogs. My bike slipped out from under me, and I bit the dust! When I finally got to school, the math teacher was pretty burned up because none of us turned in our homework. When he handed out the test, I was shaking in my boots. I know! I blew it! I kept a stiff upper lip at school, but I needed to blow off some steam. I held my tongue until I made it to my room where I could scream my head off and throw things. One of my shoes went through the window, and now I’m really in the doghouse! Now, pick at least six of your underlined idioms and explain what they mean below. One has been done as an example for you. 1. beat my brains out: to try really hard at something 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

第三节 短文理解2

One day a farmer went out for a walk with his son. The farmer put on a pair of wrong shoes, one with a thick sole(鞋底) and the other with a thin one. So as he began to walk, he felt very uncomfortable(不舒服). When he was just out of the house, he turned to his son and said, "Why should one of my legs be longer than the other today？"

The son looked at his father's legs carefully as he was walking and then laughed, "Oh, no, Daddy, your legs are all right. You have put on the wrong shoes."

The farmer was very happy to hear that and said to himself, "What a clever son I have got!" Then he asked his son to go back and get the other pair of shoes for him. The farmer had only two pairs of shoes.
