One day, I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently （轻轻地）shaking his head and saying,“You don’t say! You don’t say!” I was puzzled(困惑的), and I thought, “Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about.” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been there?”
“Certainly. When I’m back home, everyone will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful!”“Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it.” As I went on telling him more about it, he stopped me again, “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.
“Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say!’?” I asked again.
Hearing this, the foreigner laughed loudly. He began to explain,“‘You don’t say!’means ‘Really?’ Perhaps you know little about English idioms(习惯用语).”
Wow! How foolish I was! Since then I have been careful with English idioms.

It’s important to learn things about protecting environment. Here’s a 4Rs rule for us.
·Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely (明智的). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and then throws it away, soon we would not have any trees left. Some other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with waste in big cities, so it’s necessary to reduce waste.
·Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable (可用的) things before throwing them away. Give your clothes or things you don’t use to the poor. In a family, you may pass such clothes on to your younger brothers or sisters.
·Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money, for example, cola cans are sent to a factory, where they’re smashed flat（压平）and smelted (熔化), and the metal things are made into new cola cans.
·Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it’s better for you to sell the old ones or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.
( )61.The “Reduce” rule mainly requires us _____.
A.to use things wisely B.to cut down many trees
C.to use paper carelessly D.to use more and more things
( )62.What’s the right order of recycling cola cans?
a.smash them flat b.collect the used cans
c.smelt them d.send them to a factory
A.a-b-c-d B.d-c-b-a C.b-d-a-c D.b-d-c-a
( )63.The “Reuse” rule mainly requires us _____.
A.to throw away the old clothes
B.to collect waste paper and soft drink cans
C.to use both sides of paper
D.to give the old but usable things to the poor
( )64.Which sentence is about the “Repair” rule?
A.When you leave a room, turn off the lights.
B.Take a cloth bag when you go shopping.
C.Don’t use plastic bags. D.If your chair is broken, you can repair it.
( )65.Which is the best title for this passage?
A.A 4Rs rule B.Protect the environment
C.Save energy D.Good habits

Life in the 21st century will be different from life in the 20th century, because many changes will take place in the new century, but what will the changes be? The population is growing fast.

And many more people will go to other countries for holidays. There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses.
