Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes? Let’s have a look.
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family.
Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your belt.
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much. I really take my hat
off to them. Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it at the drop of a hat, which means I instantly spend it.
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are. I dislike such people.
My father is an important person. He runs a big company. He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms. Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly. But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve. 56. What is the passage mainly about? A. What pants mean in English. B. Some special English expressions. C. Some funny English expressions. D. Some expressions about clothes.
57. Which of the following expressions can show someone is nervous? A .Get caught with one’s pants down. B. Have ants in one’s pants C. Wear the pants in the family. D. Burn a hole in one’s pocket.
58. If we say someone has to tighten his belt, we probably mean he________. A. has done something wrong. B. used to live a rich life
C. has put on the wrong pants D. is short of money
59.Someone who spends his money at the drop of a hat most probably______.
A. doesn’t save money B. earns much money C. never wastes his money D spends more than he earns
60. We can use the expression“wear one’s heart on one’s sleeve”to describe someone who________. A. gets angry easily B. looks very serious
C. shows his feelings openly. D. often wears a suit and a tie
(C)
Everyone has got two personalities (性格) -the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret. and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings .You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don't often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry. 61. You may find the passage in _______.
A. a science magazine B. a guide book C. a sports newspaper D. a story book 62. When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?

（D）
The other day I heard a few local musicians talking“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate
that rubbish they play. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.” But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.” I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are. Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you.
If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or
blame(责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.
This is an easy exercise Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending
time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
eep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them
how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
66.. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed B. How to make friendship last for ever C. You are who your friends are
D. Friends are the most important in one’s success
67. The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______.
A. they’ll push you ahead B. they’ll influence you
C. they’ll cover your shortcomings D. they’ll help you achieve your goal
68. The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.
A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poor B. people have poor taste in music
C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing D. young people have greater chances of succeeding
69. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 3, you can ______.
A. improve a lot in making more friends B. come to the right way of making friends C. develop a better relationship with your friends D. arrange the time with your friends properly 70.The passage is mainly written for ______.
