Once upon a time, there were two very good friends who lived together in the shade of a rock. Strange as it may seem, one was a 36 and one was a tiger.

For some unknown reason, one day the two friends got into a silly 41 . The tiger said, “Everyone knows the cold 42 when the moon wanes from full to new! ” The lion said, “Where did you hear such nonsense? Everyone knows the 43 comes when the moon waxes from 44 to full! ”

Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes? Let’s see if I can name a few proverbs “off the cuff” since I haven’t prepared for it. English expressions with “pants” People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are restless or nervous have “ants in their pants.” They might also “fly by the seat of their pants” -- they use their natural sense to do something instead of their learned knowledge. 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.” When people want to say something about money 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” -- you may have to live on less money and spend your money carefully. But once you have succeeded in budgeting your money, you will have that skill “under 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” -- immediately, without waiting. And sadly, you cannot “pull money out of a hat” -- you cannot get money by inventing or imagining it. English expressions with “shoes” 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. I really do. You can bet your boots on that! Yet, truly important people are hard to replace. Rarely can you “fill their shoes” -- or replace them with someone equally effective. English expressions with “shirt” 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 firm and severe. They think he is a real “stuffed shirt.” But I know that my father “wears his heart on his sleeve” -- he shows his feelings openly. And, he knows how to “keep his shirt on” -- he stays calm and never gets angry or too excited. 60. What is this passage mainly about? A. Which words can be used to describe my father. B. Why English expressions include words about clothes. C. What people mean when they use some proverbs. D. How to say English correctly and properly.
61. Which of the following proverbs are not related to money?
A. tighten one’s belt B. take one’s hat off to them C. burn a hole in one’s pocket D. get caught with their pants down
62. Tim often considers himself the most important person in the world, which is far from the truth .We may say ____.
A. he “wears his heart on his sleeve ”. B. he “bet his boots on that ”. C. he is “too big for their boots”. D. he “ fill their shoes”.
63. If you want to praise somebody for his calmness when facing danger, you may say ___. A. “Amazing! How can you keep your shirt on at that time!” B. “You really fill your shoes”
C. “Awesome ! You wear your heart on your sleeve!” D. “Cool! You are truly a stuffed shirt”.

Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as
half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may be successful at work and in love.
But you may be misguided because things don’t turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example, you may fail to obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams (砰然关上) in your face. That’s bitter reality.
Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists (悲观者) have suspected all along. It’s called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive
