There are many expressions that use vegetables and fruits. For example, a cucumber is a long, green vegetable that people eat in salads. You might say a person is as cool as a cucumber if he never seems to worry about anything and stays calm in a stressful situation.

If two people are very similar, you might say they are like two peas in a pod. There are several expressions about beans. If someone is very energetic, you might say she is full of beans. If you say something does not amount to a hill of beans, you mean it is of little importance. I might say you don't know beans about a subject if you do not know anything at all about it. But if you spill the beans, you tell something that was supposed to be a secret.

Potatoes are a popular food in many areas. But something is considered small potatoes if it is not important. You probably would not want to hold a hot potato in your empty hands. This also means a problem or an issue that no one wants to deal with. Someone might call you a couch potato if you sit and watch television all day and get little or no physical exercise.

Finally, let us talk about lemons. Lemons have a sour taste if you eat them plain. But lemons make a nice drink when you mix their juice with sugar and water. So here is an expression about lemons that we like: If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. This means you should always try to make the best of a bad situation.

1.Who are most probably described as two peas in a pod?

A. Lovers.　　 B. Partners.　　 C. Deskmates.　　 D. Twins.

Many people think that cities don't have farms and that people only grow fruit and vegetables in the countryside. However, they are wrong. There are more and more farms in cities all over the world. According to Ms. Sullivan, a person studying urban agriculture (都市农业) in New York City, "There was urban agriculture long long ago."

More and more people live in cities now. And more and more people want to garden in city areas. Ms. Sullivan said, "In small gardens, on the rooftops and indoors, city people grow fruit and vegetables or raise animals to produce vegetables, eggs, honey, and meat." However, they still need to live on food grown in the countryside. This is because a city doesn't have enough places to grow enough food for everyone.

In New York City, there aren't a lot of places for growing food, but city farmers use many different ways to grow things. For example, Brooklyn Grange has three rooftop vegetable farms in New York City.

Brooklyn Grange grows tomatoes, potatoes and many other things. It sells its vegetables to people and restaurants in its city. People use the place that is not needed for anything else.

There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant (令人愉快的) but are not. “Face the music” is a good example. When someone says they have to “face the music”,　 it means they have to accept and deal with the punishment of an action.

Americans often use the word “face” in this way. For example, “I can't face another night of camping! It's cold and rainy.” Or “In life, you must face your fears.”

But now, let's go back to facing the music. Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely (极其) fast car.” But you do not listen. You want to show off to some friends. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!

When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. The “music” here is the result of your actions. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.

There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as “face the music”. To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it.” they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results!

1.完成句子。 In American English, “facing the music” means_______________

2.完成句子。The expression “______________” means the same thing as “face the music”.

3.简略回答问题。What will happen if you lose control of your friend's car and drive it into a stop sign?

________________________________________________________

4.找出并写下文章的主题句。 _________________________________

5.将文中画线句子译成汉语。 _____________________________
