浙江省宁波市江北区2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中检测英语试题
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman in a store 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! 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!" he answered. "Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people from all over the world have come to visit it," I added. As I was telling him more about it, he said 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.

Exploding Kittens Card Games
Exploding Kittens is a great family game—it's easy to learn, competitive (竞争的), and it brings lots of silly fun. What's more, it's light enough to take with. In the game, players take turns to-pick out a card. The player who takes the exploding kitten card will be a loser. The game will go on until there is only one player left. He or she will be the winner. Clearly, the player wins the game because of luck. However, it is still super exciting. Players always have great fun. For young players, it's easy to make them frustrated because it takes a few rounds for them to remember what the graphic on each card means. That's why the game's creators advised ages seven and up. Price: $20 Type: Card | Age Range: 7 and up | Number of Players: 2-4 | Playing Time: 15 minutes |
