Unit 3 English around the world 单元话题阅读理解练习 （2022秋·福建厦门·九年级厦门市槟榔中学校考期中）When you learn English, you may come across these phrases we think you will love to use! “Touch wood” is said when you hope something will happen without any problems. This phrase comes from the old belief that touching something made of wood will bring good luck. So, if you and a friend had to write a report together for school that had to be done by the next morning, you might say, “If we work all night, we should be able to finish in time, As long as we don’t ▲ — touch wood.” Being “out of the woods” means not being in danger anymore, having gotten out of a difficult situation, or just not having a problem anymore. This old phrase comes from how dangerous it was to travel through a forest, or be lost in one. So when the report is written, your friend could say, “I think we’re out of the woods. Now we just need to check our work.” A person’s “neck of the woods” is the area of a town or city that they live in, but it can also be used to refer to a region. A “neck”, as the word is used in this expression, is a narrow piece of land. So if you missed the school bus and couldn’t hand your report in on time, your mother might say, “Don’t worry— I’ll drive you. I’m going to the same neck of the woods as your school this morning anyway.” 1．When you “touch wood”, it will ________.
