About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me.
I never heard any noise from the children, but I often heard the parents shouting at the kids, not in a nice voice, but in a terrible one.
1._______________. I always greeted them, but the only answer I ever got was a “hello” from the eight-year-old girl. 2.__________________. One day, when I returned from the hospital, the family were just leaving their apartment and the little girl was holding the outside gate open for the others. I remained in the car doing something unnecessary because I didn’t want to be snubbed(冷落、怠慢)again. When I finally got out of my car and walked towards the gate, the parents were telling the little girl to hurry and get in the car. 3._________________. I hurried though I was still in pain from my leg.
Later that day I wrote a note saying how much her act of kindness had touched an old man’s heart.
The next day the family came over. 4.__________________. Her parents thanked me as well.
Now when we meet in the hall, we always greet each other, in a friendly way.
Last night there was a heavy snow. 5._________________. I looked out of the window, thinking what I could do. To my great surprise, there was no snow on my car at all! I was even more surprised to see the lovely girl standing by the gate with an old broom.
Isn’t it amazing that the little kind act of an eight-year-old girl can change so many things for the better?

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher told us 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 surprised. 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 a right 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 wonderful.” 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 (打断) 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 ask 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.” “_____” Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
