听力原文：The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressio

听力原文： The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. For example, a large nose is said to indicate a great man—manly, courageous, courteous, and intellectual.

In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, "to hold up one's nose" expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.

A person who is led around by the nose is one that lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide himself.

For the human emotion of frustration, the phrase "to have one's nose put out of joint" is very descriptive. The expression applies to people who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel humiliated. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.

This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling!

(33)

A．Courteous and intellectual.

B．Polite and masculine.

C．Brave and intelligent.

D．Considerate and romantic.

听力原文：In many places, ice is as widely used as bread, and it would be surprising indeed

听力原文： In many places, ice is as widely used as bread, and it would be surprising indeed if ice did not give birth to many special phrases.

The expression, "to break the ice", meant, to make your first move, to do something for the first time; it was not possible until the ice was broken. Later, the expression developed another meaning, covering a relationship between people. When you have not broken the ice with someone, you have not yet cleared the. way to his trust in you, to his friendship, You must get through to him, just as the small boats had to clear the river's ice jam.

When you tell someone that he "cuts no ice" with you, you are making certain things clear to him — that you are not moved or impressed or influenced by him in any way. You are putting it to him straight — that he is getting nowhere with you.

"Skating on thin ice" is something else again. This means that a man may be doing or saying something risky. It might be offensive and get him into trouble. Thin ice is not much support; if he is not more careful, he may sink right through.

In sports or any other kind of contest, you will hear the phrase, "The game is on ice" or "It is iced up". This simply means that the game is really over, that one side is so far ahead that the other cannot catch up. There is no longer any doubt as who the winner will be.

What is the meaning of "Skating on thin ice"？

A．One may be doing something quite difficult.

B．One may be doing something quite risky.

C．One may be doing something quite annoying.

D．One may be doing something impossible.
