    Learning English grammar and English vocabulary can be hard enough, but trying to understand English sayings can be more difficult. Some are just hard to figure out and others don’t make any sense at all. Here are four funny English sayings that you can use every day.
    I’m happy as a clam(蛤).
    Think of a clam. It doesn’t have to do anything. It just sits on a beach or on the bottom of the ocean all day doing nothing. It never has to work. That sounds like happiness, doesn’t it? If someone asks, “How are you today?” you can answer “I am happy as a clam” to let him or her know what a great mood you are in.
    I wouldn’t touch that (or him/her) with a ten-foot pole.
    Maybe there is a person who you don’t want to be friends with or even talk to. Well, this saying means that you dislike him or her so much that you don’t want to touch or go near him or her, even within ten feet!
    You don’t have a leg to stand on.
    This saying doesn’t mean that the person you’re talking to has no legs. It means that his or her argument is incorrect. He or she doesn’t have a leg to stand on because he or she has no facts to support what he or she is saying. This saying is a good way to tell people that you think they’re wrong.
    Break a leg!
    This saying actually means the opposite of what it sounds like. If you tell this to a person, you’re wishing him or her good luck！The saying comes from a superstition(迷信) that whatever you say aloud, the opposite will come true.
    小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us____________________.
    A．learning English grammar is hard
    B．learning English vocabulary is hard
    C．we should use English sayings every day

    A．I hate him.B．I want him to be my friend.
    C．I like him.D．I want to argue with him.
    小题4:We can learn from the passage that______________________.

    B．the saying “Break a leg” means someone hurts his or her leg
    C．if we say “Break a leg” to someone, we give him or her a good wish
    D．if we say “I am ill” aloud, we will become healthy

    “If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
    That may seem a strange thing to say it. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.
    All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
    There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to feel them!
    Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.
    If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!
    小题1:When people buy things in shops, they often _____.
    A．try them on first
    B．keep their right hands on them

    A．the things are used by people, too
    B．people feel the things too often
    C．people know how to use the things
    D．the things are easy to feel
    小题3: Which of the following is true?
    A．Touching is helping us to see better.
    B．Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.
    C．People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.
