Hey, Jina!
I
’
m so glad
you
’
re coming to stay! Let
me give you some directions from the airport. You
can
also download an underground map
from the London
Underground
’
s website ().
Anyway, I hope you will understand my
instructions!
From
Heathrow, get on the underground
–
there
’
s only the Piccadilly
Line there. You
’
ll pass a
lot
of stations, but you need to get
off and change at Piccadilly Circus. From there,
you should take
the Bakerloo Line to
Oxford Circus. It
’
s only one
stop, so don
’
t miss it! At
Oxford Circus, you have
to change
again. You need the red Central Line.
It
’
s a bit complicated , so
make sure you get the
right platform.
Head to Marble Arch. It
’
s
just two stops away
–
the
one after Bond Street. My
house is
really close to Marble Arch Station
–
it
’
s
really convenient. Just give me a call when you
arrive and I
’
ll
come to meet you!
It
’
s not the
shortest route here, but I think
it
’
s the simplest. If you
have any problems, just
ask the other
passengers. The underground staff will always help
you, too.
Looking forward to seeing you
soon!
Love,
Sally

Cold
weather has a great effect, on how our minds and
our bodies work. Maybe that is why
there are so many expressions that use
the word
For example,
People who show no human emotions or feelings, for
example, are said to be
cold-blooded.
Cold
can
affect
other
parts
of
the
body,
But
the
expression
“
get
cold
feet
”
has
nothing to do with cold
or your feet. The expression means being afraid to
do something you had
decided to do. For
example, you agree to be CEO of a company. But
then you learn that all the
other
officers have resigned(
辞职
)
and all the work of the company will be your
responsibility.
You are likely to get
cold feet about being CEO when you understand the
situation.
The
expression
someone
the
cold
shoulder
probably
comes
from
the
physical
act
of
turning your back toward someone,
instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may
give a cold
shoulder to a friend who
has not kept a promise he made to you, or to
someone who has lied
about you to
others.
love
or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of
himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish
could be cold-hearted. He or she will
never feel sorry for those in bad situation.
that everybody
but him got a pay raise--he was left out in the
cold. And it is not a pleasant place
to
be.
23.
If you
get cold feet, this means that _________.
A. you feel brave to do something
B. you feel too nervous to
do something
C. you feel too cold to do
something
D. you feel very angry
about doing something
24.

________.
A. Henry was treated politely
when he asked Mary to have a date.
B.
Henry was afraid to invite Mary to have an
appointment with him.
C. Mary
didn
’
t care about
Henry
’
s invitation and
didn
’
t plan to date with
him.
D. Mary behaved unfriendly because
she didn
’
t like to talk with
Henry face to face.
25.

’
s the
passage mainly about?
A. Opinions about
cold weather.
B. Expressions connected
with
“

As
the
weather
gets
warmer,
there
are
few
things
that
are
better
to
do
than
travel.
But
traveling might not be
that fun for everyone, especially for those who
have motion
sickness(
晕动
症
).
Motion sickness is also called travel
sickness. It is a common experience for many
people.
Depending
on
how
you
travel,
it
can
be
called
carsickness
or
seasickness.
People
with
motion
sickness feel very
uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel
sick and dizzy, like the room
around
them won
’
t stop spinning.
It is generally believed that motion
sickness happens when your senses become cunfused
with each other, Scientific American
reported.
We use different parts of our
body to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are
moving.
The inner ears contain a
special liquid(
液体
) that
helps us sense our direction and balance. Our
muscles react to movement.
When you move around, these body parts
work well together. But when you are in a car or
an
airplane,
they
get
confused.
Your
inner
ear
signals
that
you
’
ve
moving,
but
your
eyes
say
you
’
re
sitting
still
because
you
can
’
t
see
that
you
’
ve
moving.
This
mismatch
gives
us
motion
sickness.
But
some
people
are
less
sensitive
to
motion
sickness.
This
may
be
because
they
have
certain
genes(
基因
)that prevent
mismatching senses, Bethann Hromatka, a genetics
expert from
the US, told the Atlantic.
Although there are many ways to deal
with motion sickness, scientists believe that the
key is
to
simply
try
to
adapt
to
it.
For
example,
some
astronauts
do
special
exercises
that
give
them
gentle
motion
sickness.
After
a
week
or
two,
the
astronauts
become
used
to
it
and
don
’
t
feel
uncomfortable anymore,
Sam Puma, a NASA flight doctor, told the BBC.
27.
What do we
know about motion sickness?
A. It can
make traveling more fun.
B.
It causes the room to spin continuously.
C. It happens to only a small number of
people.
D. It
is called carsickness when you travel by car.
28. How do people feel if they have
motion sickness?
A. Sick and dizzy
B.
Tired and sleepy
C. Worried and angry
D. Hungry and
thirsty
