Peple use languages t cmmunicate. Any language has its ways t express peple’s minds. One f the ways in cmmn is the use f idims. An idim is a grup f wrds. It has a special meaning that is different frm the usual meaning. Fr example, under the weather is an idim meaning ill. S when peple say “I’m under the weather," they are saying that they’re nt feeling well. Anther example, in all weathers means in all kinds f weather. S, “There are hmeless peple sleeping n the streets in all weathers" tells us that hmeless peple sleep n the streets n matter whether it is cld r ht.
Different languages may have different ways t make idims. Fr peple wh are learning a freign language, idims culd cause misunderstandings and bring them endless headaches. On the ther hand, if things are dne right, idims can als be a fun way f lking int a new culture and understanding hw the peple think and talk.
Metaphr (比喻) is ften used in idims. Let’s read the fllwing tw examples:
● It makes my bld bil (煮沸) when peple litter.
● The night was dark and quiet; my bld ran cld when I heard a strange nise utside at dark night.
In neither situatin abve, ur bld can reach the pint s high r s lw in temperature. Yet, with the situatins the tw sentences created, it is nt difficult t wrk ut the unhappy feelings f really angry in the first example and very afraid in the secnd.
Of curse, nt all idims are this easy t understand. When we cme t idims f a freign language, a gd dictinary f idims is always suggested.
24. This passage tells us smething abut __________ in the English language.
A. grammarB. writingC. readingD. idims
25. If yur brther breaks yur cmputer, yu can say t him, “__________.”
A. I’m under the weatherB. I’m there in all weathers
C. Yu’ve made my bld bilD. My bld runs cld
26. What is the writer’s advice when yu cme t an expressin like under the weather?
A. We shuld lk it up in a gd idim dictinary.
B. We shuld try t express ur minds with it.
C. We shuld find an interesting way t learn it.
D We shuld create situatins t guess its meaning.

INTRODUCTION
It’s hard t believe that I wrte Number the Stars mre than twenty years ag. It seems like yesterday that I answered the phne n a snwy January mrning and received the news that it had wn the 1990 Newbery Medal（美国纽伯瑞儿童文学奖）.
I think readers f every age may match themselves with the imprtant persns in the bks they lve and ask themselves: Wuld I have dne that? What chice wuld I have made?
And ten-the age f Annemarie in Number the Stars—is an age when yung peple are beginning t develp a strng set f persnal ethics（道德观;价值观）. are beginning t realize that the wrld they live in is nt always gd and safe.
S they fllw a stry abut a ten-year-ld girl wh is caught in a dangerus situatin, and she must make decisins. Yung readers becme cheerful when Annemarie takes a deep breath, enters the wds, faces the danger, stands up t the enemy and wins her victry.
Tday, the bk has been published in many cuntries and translated int many languages. It fund its way int the hands and hearts f children wh had read abut but never experienced war. . . . Bks d change lives, I knw; and many readers have tld me that Number the Stars changed theirs when they were yung, that it made them think abut bth cruelty（残酷;残忍） and curage. “It was smething that shaped my idea f hw peple shuld be treated, ” wrte a yung wman recently, telling me abut her wn furth-grade experience with the bk.
The Danish friend wh first tld me the stry f her childhd, and wh became the Annemarie in my bk, is an ld wman nw. S am I. We bth lve thinking f the children reading the stry tday, cming t it fr the first time and realizing that nce, fr a shrt time and in a small place, a grup f prejudice-free（不存偏见的）peple created a tuching stry f lve and kindness twards thers.
