A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized (强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
    One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, "You don't say!" "You don't say!" I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate (适合的)topic. "Well, I'd better change the topic." So I said to him. "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?" "Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent." He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide.

"The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it." Soon I was interrupted again by his words: "You don't say!" I couldn't help asking, "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?" "Well, I didn't request you to do so, " he answered, greatly surprised. I said, "Didn't you say' you don't say?" Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, 'You don't say' actually means 'really!' It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms." Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.

Super Typhoon Megi crashed into the Philippines on Monday, leaving a trail of destruction in its path. Thousands of residents fled to safety as heavy rains and strong winds caused flooding, collapsed trees and cut off power. It was the strongest storm to hit the island nation in four years.

At least seven people died in the storm, and at least six others were injured by falling trees, broken rooftops and glass, officials said. More than 4，150 residents were forced to take shelter in schools, town halls, churches and relatives' homes. 

A typhoon is a tropical cyclone(热带气旋), or hurricane, that occurs in the western Pacific or Indian Oceans. The storm is named a “super typhoon” when winds exceed 150 mph. Megi crashed ashore in the Isabela province of the northern Philippines with whipping winds that reached 162 mph. The storm created big waves in Palanan Bay. All ships and fishing boats were advised to stay in ports. Several airline flights were canceled.

Luckily, the winds blew high from the ground, sparing many rice fields from damage, says Alvaro Antonio, the governor of Cagayan province. The region also took a hard hit from the storm.  Thousands of military reserve officers and volunteers stood by to help with relief efforts. Evacuations(疏散) and emergency preparations for the storm were made days in advance. Retired army Major General Benito Ramos heads the Philippines' disaster-preparedness agency. He said readying for the typhoon was like “preparing for war.”

9. How many people were homeless in this natural disaster?

A．At least seven.  B．At least six. C．More than 4，150.  D．About 13.

10. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean?

28. A. catch      B. attract       C. pay      D. direct

29. A. sent     B. walked     C. ran       D. concerned

30. A. doorway    B. situation     C. classroom    D. entrance

31. A. from     B. through     C. by      D. across

32. A. cold-hearted    B. well-meaning    C. good-looking    D. hard-working

33. A. who     B. when      C. whose      D. what
