阅读短文,选择正确答案。      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 puzzled, 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! Everyone at 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
more about it, he stopped me again, "You don"t say!"
      I couldn"t help asking, "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?"
      "Well, I don"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 (习语)."
      Wow! How foolish I was! Since then I began to learn more English idioms. 1. The writer was puzzled (疑惑) because _________. [     ]

    Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of
Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that
miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".
    On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren"t paying any attention
to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, "Do you have cold drinks?" The woman there
didn"t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the
woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means "yes".
    Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that
was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan
waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no.
    Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his
students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought
some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He
soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different
ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand
whether they mean "yes" or "no".

B. Jan taught English on a Pacific island.

    Mary was eleven years old and she had something seriously wrong with her nervous system (神经系统).
She was not able to walk. In fact, she could hardly move. Though she believed that she had a good chance
to get well again, the doctor said that few people could come back to normal after getting this disease. The
little girl didn"t give up after she heard this. When she was lying in her hospital bed,she believed that no matter
what the doctors said, her going back to school was possible. 
    She was sent to a health center. Every method was tried and none worked. However, she would not give
up. It seemed that nothing could beat her. The doctors all admired her and taught her to imagine that she could
make it. Every day Mary would lie there,doing her mental (心理的) exercise carefully.
    One day, as she was imagining her legs moving again, it seemed as if a miracle (奇迹) happened:the bed
began to move! "Look, what I"m doing! Look! I can do it! I moved!" she cried. At this moment everyone else
in the hospital was frightened. They were crying, rushing for safety. And everything was falling. It was an
earthquake. But Mary believed that she did it, just as she had never doubted that she would get well. And now
only a few years later, she"s back in schoo1. You see, to such a person who can shake the earth, such a
