People have their own ways of saying things with their own special expressions. Some of these expressions are easy to understand. “As Easy as Falling off a Log (圓木)” is one such expression. It describes a job that does not take much effort. If you ever tried to walk on a falling tree log, you may understand what the expression means. It is easier to fall off the log than to stay on it.
There are several other expressions that mean the same thing. And their meaning is as easy to understand as falling off a log. One is “Easy as Pie.” Nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet juicy pie, unless it is a piece of cake. “A Piece of Cake” is another expression that means something is extremely easy to do.
Another expression is “As Easy as Shooting Fish in a Barrel (桶)”. Clearly, fish in a barrel will be much easier to shoot than fish in a river. In fact, it would be as easy as falling off a log.
Sometimes, things that come to us easily also leave us just as easily. In fact, there is an expression “Easy Come Easy Go”. Another easy expression is “To Go Easy on a Person”. It means to treat a person kindly or gently, especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him. A wife might ask her husband to go easy on their son, because the boy did not mean to destroy the toy. If you want to borrow some money to fix the car, you should look for a friend who is an “Easy Touch”. An easy touch or a soft touch is someone who is kind and helpful.
And there is one more expression that means do not worry or work too hard. Try to keep away from difficult situations. “Take it easy”, until we meet again.
【小題1】Which of the following expressions has the same meaning with “As easy as falling off a log?”

A．Shooting fish in a barrel B．Walking on a falling tree log.
C．Staying on a log D．Shooting fish in a river
【小題2】A friend might tell you that his new job was___________.
A．easy come easy go B．a(chǎn)s easy as shooting fish in a barrel

A．That he goes easy on me means that he is angry with me.
B．He is always helping others, so he is an easy touch.
C．When he asks me to repair his broken bike, I say, “A piece of cake. I can help repair it.”

Recently a specialist(專家) in teenager studies does some research on teenage problems. He thinks parents shouldn’t be blamed of themselves because there is nothing they can do to deal with the teenage problem. Whatever they do, sometimes a wonderful, kind and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, should stand up, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman whenever anyone entered the room. I saw him last week when I visited them. Lying on the sofa, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in. His mother was angry. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”
He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She said that she would like to throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress, it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” Her parents are now very sad. Probably nothing is wrong with the parents.
【小題1】This text is most probably written by________.

In the past, going to a piano teacher was the only way to learn how to play the piano. You could have one lesson a week. If you didn’t have private(個人的) lessons, you could still learn piano, but you would have to learn it by yourself. This was easy for some, but very difficult for most. However, with technology as it is today, there is at last another way that you can take piano lessons. You can take an online course.
An online course can save you lots of money. If a private lesson costs 30 or 40 dollars per week, just think about how quickly that adds up. You can take a complete online course in piano by spending a small part of the money that you would pay for taking weeks of private lessons. Also, private lessons are only usually one hour per week. If you have questions during the rest of the week, or if you forget something that your teacher said, you will have to wait for your next lesson to continue your learning. However, online piano courses are quite different.
With an online piano course, you can work at your own pace(進(jìn)度). You can also take as many lessons per week as you’d want, or go back and listen to your last lesson if you have forgotten anything. Most adults who want to learn how to play the piano enjoy being able to go back and listen to lessons they watched before. It can give you a good idea of what you were doing right, what you were doing wrong, and what you should be doing before the next lesson.
Of course, if you need someone to sit beside you and give you instant feedback(及時(shí)反饋) while you are playing, you are not suggested to choose an online course. But most adult learners think they can get their own type of feedback by watching the course again and again.
【小題1】       is not mentioned in the passage to learn to play the piano.
A.Going to a piano teacher        B. Asking experts for information   C. Teaching oneself
【小題2】Going to a piano teacher is much more        than having an online piano course.
A. expensive                   B. convenient                  C. interesting
【小題3】If you choose an online piano course, you can          .
A. ask questions whenever you want          
B. watch the lessons whenever you’d like  
C. get some advice while you are playing the piano.
【小題4】Most adults like to go back and listen to the lessons again because         .
A. they needn’t spend any extra money          
B. they can ask some questions   
C. they can know what they were doing right, what they were doing wrong
【小題5】How many advantages of an online piano course have been introduced in the passage?

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived there, I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(臨終醫(yī)院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(計(jì)價(jià)器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
In the early morning, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I pay you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug(擁抱). She held on me and said, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
【小題1】The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.

A．show she was familiar with the city
B．see some places for the last time
C．let the driver earn more money
D．reach the destination on time
【小題2】The taxi driver did not get the money because he ______.
A．wanted to give her a hand
B．shut off the meter by mistake
C．had received her payment already
D．was in a hurry to take other passengers
【小題3】What can we learn from the story?
A．No pains, no gains.
B．People should respect(尊重) each other.
C．An act of kindness can bring people great joy.
D．People should learn to enjoy our life.
