When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. My　 36　 took me by train or by car to a hotel by the 37　 . All day, I　 38 on the sands with strange　 39　 children. We made houses and gardens, and 40 the tide (潮水) destroy them. When the tide went out, we　 41　 over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.

　　 In those days the　 42 seemed to shine always brightly 43 the water was always warm. Sometimes our family　 44　　 the beach and walked in the country, exploring (探索) ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were 45 in one's pockets or good places where one could 46　 ice creams. Each day seemed a lifetime.

　 Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good 47　 is much the same as it was. I　 48　 like the sun and warm sand and the sound of 49　 beating the rocks. I no longer wish to 50 any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets, either. 51 , I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.

　　 Sometimes I 52　 what my ideal(理想的) holiday will be like when I am 53　 . All I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about　 54　 who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make themselves 55 on too many ices.

For months she 　40 to attend any family celebration to which her former husband Jim was also 41 . When I reasoned that her children’s perception of the 　42 with and between the parents was probably altogether different from hers ,she 　 43　 to the belief that she was right.

You’re depriving yourself of the 　49 of sharing in these important occasions , 50 Jim feels free to experience them. Tell me , would you rather be right ,or be happy?”

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized (强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown 46 an amusing experience.
　　 One day, I 　47 to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I 48 about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be 49 . 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 proper topic. “Well, 　50 change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, 　51 we talk about the Great Wall? 　52 the way, have you ever 53 there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing 　54 . It was magnificent.” He was 　55 in thought when I began to talk 56 a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very 　57 of it.”

Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help but 58 , “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do 59 , ” he answered, 　60 　surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say!’?” 　61 this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to 62 , “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an 　63 of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” 64 then did I know I had made a fool of 65 . Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.
