People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word“mouth.”

For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest（抗议）and say “Do not bad mouth me.” Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”  If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth.  In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.

Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something.  The other person might protest: “I did not say that.  Do not put words in my mouth.”

Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family.  There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person, “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth.  This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.

Parents might sometimes keep a child off sweet food as a form of punishment for saying bad things. For example, if a child says things she should not say to her parents, she might be described as a mouthy child. The parents might even tell the child to stop mouthing off.. 

But enough of all this talk. I have been running my mouth long enough.

61. When will a person probably say“do not bad mouth me”？

A. When he feels down.               B. When he is regretful.

C. When he is spoken ill of.          D. When he gets angry.

【答案】C

【解析】根据第二段第一句if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest（抗议）and say “Do not bad mouth me.”“如果你说一个人的坏话，这个人可能会抗议说不要说我坏话。”

62.What will the person say if he feels sorry for what he has said?

A. Do not bad mouth me.

B. Stop mouthing off.

C. Do not put words in my mouth.

D. I really put my foot in my mouth this time.

【答案】D

The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”有时人们对家人和朋友说了一些他们后来会后悔的话因为这些话上海了那个人。。。。说话的人就会说“这次我真的说错话了。”

63.If a person lives from hand to mouth, it implies that__________.

A. he is badly-off                 B. he is hard-working
