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 shaking his head and saying “You don't say!”
I was confused, and I thought, “Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about.” Then I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever visited it?”
“Certainly! Everyone back home 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 couldn't I talk about it?”
“Well, I didn't stop you talking about it,” 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.

Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track (跑道) in my neighborhood. Most people walk on the track, so I am 1 than them. My speed seems amazing to the walkers and I often pass by them twenty or more times around the track. This makes 2 feel proud.

One day, a short man came. I saw him out of the car and do exercise 3 running. Then he started running and he was fast. I 4 up and managed to catch up with him. I had someone to compete with. But after a lap (圈), I fell behind him and had great 5 in breathing. After two laps, my foot began to hurt, 6 I had to slow down and began to run at my usual speed. This time I could breathe again and the pain in my foot went away. In a very short time, I was far behind him. He was too fast for me to 7 .
