An idiom (习语)is a phrase that we can’ t understand from the meaning of each word. For example, if an American boy asks his mum what’s for dinner tomorrow, she may say, “I’ll play it by ear.” That means she doesn’t have plans for dinner and she will decide later.
“Play it by ear” used to mean playing music without using the sheet music (活页乐谱),but now it’s different.
There are many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be much more colorful.
Have you ever heard the idiom “He bought the farm”? It means “He died Do you know how it became popular? It was first used in World War I. When a soldier died, the government gave his family enough money to buy a farm.
In the early 1930s, people in the US often did not know when or where their next meal was. So as soon as they got something in their hand that could be eaten, it would go into their mouth. That was how people began to use the idiom “live hand to mouth”.
And don’t be angry if your English friend says this to you, “Break a leg in your game!”
He is wishing you good luck! Hundreds of years ago, people believed in sprites (小精灵).Sprites enjoyed causing trouble. If the sprites heard you ask for something, they would make the opposite happen. Tell someone to “break a leg” and the sprites would make something good happen.

One of the biggest mistakes a person can make is to try not to make mistakes. As you make decisions in your life, you will very likely make some mistakes. But making mistakes is a big part of how you get experience and learn.
Here is a simple example. You do poorly in a test because you didn’t study enough. One bad test is not the end of the world, but it can quickly teach you that if you don’t study, you won’t do well.
Mistakes sometimes lead to arguments (争吵)between people. This is true of people of all ages—young people and old people. This happens a lot — especially at work.
There is a word in English that is very good to think about when you end up in an argument and want to learn from it. It is called “empathize”(感同身受). To empathize means to try and understand things from another person point of view.
If you learn to empathize, you will be able to learn very quickly from the mistakes you make and the mistakes you think other people have made. You can turn mistakes into opportunities (机会).
For example, if you learn to empathize, you will understand the people you work with much better. Instead of getting angry when you don’t agree with someone—a friend, or a colleague (同事)at work, you will learn to talk about problems and be more patient with people you disagree with.
This might stop you from giving up a job or losing a friend when you get frustrated (沮丧的)at someone—or they get frustrated at you.
So next time you think you’ve made a mistake, stop and ask yourself what you’ve learned from it, and how you will do differently in the future.
【1】In the second paragraph, the writer gives the example to tell us .
A.making mistakes is a part of life
B.one bad test is not the end of the world
C.if you don’t study,you won’t do well in exams
D.we can get experience and learn from mistakes
【2】In Paragraph 7, the underlined word “ This ’’ means .
A.making mistakes B.learning to empathize
C.being more patient with people you disagree with D.understanding the people you work with much better
【3】According to the writer, the statement “ ’’ is true.
A.Everyone makes mistakes every day
B.We can turn mistakes into success
C.We should try not to make mistakes at all
D.Mistakes sometimes cause arguments between people
【4】What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Mistakes Are Just a Part of Life B.Never Make Mistakes
C.Making Mistakes is a Good Thing D.Making Mistakes is a Terrible Thing
