I was feeling a little blue because my mother had lost her job.
One day, while I was    on the street, I heard the piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people. I walked more slowly to       where it was coming from. Then I saw a young lady sitting at a piano.
She was singing songs about love,       yourself and keeping on trying. The way she was singing made me a little comfortable. I stood there      ，watching her playing on such a crowded New York square. I thought that she must be      enough to perform in front of so many people.
She noticed me. I walked over and told her how good her        sounded. “Thank you.” she said.
“I have been going through a hard time recently,      you’ve made me hopeful again.” I said to her.
“I’m glad that I could help,” she replied, “Why are you so    ?”
“Well, my mom has lost her job, and I’m not sure what to do …”
“Did you noticed the     you were walking? Your head was down.” she said. “Don’t be upset, because       comes in different ways and if your head is down, you might not see it. You should        more… lift your head up.”
I looked       her, amazed at how she was encouraging me. “    are you playing the piano here?” I asked her with a smile.
She      that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and she tried to cheer        up by playing music.
I smiled a little wilder, realizing that no difficulties could stop me from going on.

A year ago，I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher told us the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised. 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 right topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted (打断) again by his words: “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. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’？” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” I realized I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because       .

At first, on hearing “You don’t say,” I thought the foreigner meant       .

“… was shown in an amusing experience.” The word “amusing” probably means       .

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

After the Englishman explained the idiom, ___________.

Be careful! Some people may use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but misses important information that should be included, he can create a false impression(印象).
For example, someone might say, "I just won 100 dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that ticket back to the store and they gave me 100 dollars!"
This man is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he paid 200 dollars for 200 tickets, and only one ticket won. He's really a big loser.
He didn't say anything that was false, but he didn't give the other important information. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not lies, but in fact they are dishonest.
Advertisements sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to lie in advertisements, so they try to deceive with the truth. An advertisement might say, "Nine-tenths of doctors believe that Fancy Pills will be good to cancer. " It doesn't tell you that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Fancy Company.
This kind of thing happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
What does the underlined word "deceive" mean in Chinese?

When people tell part of the truth,          .

Which of the following is TRUE?

What does the writer clearly want people to do?
