　　Proverbs(谚语)are quite common in spoken English．We don't normally put them in a composition or a letter．Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean．Here are a few examples．

　　1)“Once bitten, twice shy．” If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it．This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs．If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go to the same shop again．

　　2)“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush．” If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them．Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future．

　　3)“Too many cooks spoil the broth(soup)”．When too many people do something, they get in each other's way and do a bad job．

　　4)“To pour oil on troubled waters” is to try to calm things down．Oil is lighter than water．If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it．The second ship can send small boats to rescue people．However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough．

　　5)“Don't be a dog in a manger(槽)”means“ Don't be selfish．” In a stable(马房), the manger is the place where the horse's food is put．Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food．The dog doesn't want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it．

　　6)“He is sitting on the fence” means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it．He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win．

　　7)“He who pays the piper calls the tune．” A piper is a musician．The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play．Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out．

　　8)“You can't get blood out of a stone” means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want．e．g．you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man．

(1)

Peter has a bicycle which is much too small for him but he does not want to let his younger brother ride on it．His mother is angry and says to him：________．
[　　]
A．	You can't get blood out of a stone
B．	Don't be a dog in a manger
C．	The early bird gets the worm
D．	To pour oil on troubled waters

(2)

Mr．and Mrs．Smith had a quarrel．Their friend, Mr．Brown, wanted to talk to them．When he came back, he told his wife that he had been trying to help the Smiths by ________．
[　　]
A．	pouring oil on troubled waters
B．	getting blood out of a stone
C．	being a dog in a manger
D．	sitting on the fence

(3)

Mr．Wang paid for a new school．Some people didn't like the design of the school but they didn't argue with Mr．Wang because ________．
[　　]
A．	he was sitting on the fence
B．	once bitten, twice shy
C．	he who pays the piper calls the tune
D．	a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

(4)

Mrs．Lin wanted to buy a new dress．Her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home．Mrs．Lin disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop．So she said ：“I won't go there again because ________．”
[　　]
A．	a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
B．	I am sitting on the fence
C．	once bitten, twice shy
D．	too many cooks spoil the broth

　After the end of the Second World War, the Russians became very interested in space science, and they sent several rockets up above the air. The earth is surrounded by air, but this air doesn't stretch (延伸) upward for more than a few hundred miles, and 　1 　only about ten miles the air is so thin that no ordinary plane will fly in it. To go higher it is necessary to use a rocket, which will work excellently even when moving in outer space. The first rockets 　2 　into space carried no astronauts but scientific instruments (仪器), the next carried animals and when they were brought safely to the earth, the Russian scientists 　3 　a man. They chose Yuri Gagarin to be the pilot.

　Flying a space ship is 　4 　flying an ordinary plane. Instead of sitting at the controls, the pilot lies upon a couch (睡椅).

　The spaceship was travelling 　5 　5 miles a second—faster than any man travelled before. Gagarin did not get any feeling for the speed, and he could 　6 　the small round window of the cabin (船舱).

　Gagarin was busy doing scientific experiments. Before long the spaceship passed into the Earth's Shadow. When it came out of the shadow again, the horizon (地平线) showed a bright orange colour.

The air has 　8 　the other colours in sunlight, but reflects (反射) the blue light, which we see. In space there is no air to split up the sunlight.

　Now, it was time for Gagarin to prepare for landing. This was perhaps the most dangerous part of the whole trip. If he came into the air too quickly, his ship would 　9 　the air, and this would make the ship so hot that it would burn up. The speed of the spaceship had to be controlled.

　The spaceship dropped closer and closer to the ground until, when not far from the ground, Gaggrin's cabin 　10 　the rest of the rocket. Then the cabin, together with Gagarin, flew gently down to a safe landing.
