Bees are known as very hard workers. So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house. In fact, you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean. You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away. When we go to see a movie, my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn. If something was the best of its kind, you might say it was the bees knees. Now, we admit that we do not know how this expression developed. In fact, we do not even know if bees have knees! If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important, you might say she has a bee in her bonnet. If someone asks you a personal question, and you would like not to tell him or her,you might say “That is none of your beeswax.” Butterflies are beautiful insects, but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach. That means to be nervous about having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. You would also not want to have ants in your pants. That is, to be restless and unable to sit still. If a friend keeps asking you to do something you do not want to do, you might ask him to leave you alone or “stop bugging me.” A friend also might tell you again and again to do something. If so, you might say he put a bug in your ear. If you were reading a book in your warm bed on a cold winters day, you might say you were snug as a bug in a rug. And, if you wish someone good night, you might say, “sleep tightdont let the bed bugs bite.”24.

A bug in a rug is very dangerous.C Many college students complain about dormitory life: a sweltering room without air-conditioning in summer and a dormitory gate which is closed at 11 pm. But they may miss their dormitories after graduation,when they have to spend as much as a third of their income renting a shabby room. The rising prices of daily necessities, including food, water, gas and electricity, are also making graduates save every penny to make ends meet. Faced with the high cost of living, college graduates need to make every penny work when they budget their income. When it comes to renting, try to spend no more than one third of your income on it.Better still, only spend a quarter, according to Hao Qian, a career consultant(咨询师). Hao also reminds graduates to set aside about one fifth of their income for social activities. “People have spent more on their social lives because of changes in forms of entertainment,”said Hao. For example, new friends may want to meet you at a quiet club instead of at a noisy house. In spite of the high cost of living, many college graduates still, try to stay in big cities.They usually work in industries such as finance, public relations and IT, which depend on a booming city economy and technology. Hao advises such graduates to reduce their expenditure on shopping as much as possible.“If you are not in jobs such as PR and sales which require you to dress well, you dont need to spend much on clothes and “ accessories ,” said Hao.“Spend less than one eighth of your monthly income on shopping. ”28.

We can know from the text that .A. the money spent on social activities is mainly to broaden business cooperationB. its unwise to meet your new friend in your dormitory with loud roommatesC. more and more graduates choose to work in small towns or medium citiesD. if you take up a PR job in a firm, you can wear casual clothesD Billy Wilder (19062002) was a Jewish Polish-born American filmmaker, screenwriter,producer. Many experts say that Billy Wilder changed the history of American movies. He is often called the best movie maker Hollywood has ever had. Billy Wilder started law school in Vienna, Austria. Then he decided not to become a lawyer. Instead, he began reporting for a Vienna newspaper. Wilder became a screenwriter in the late 1920s while living in Berlin. After the rise of the Nazi Party, Wilder, who was Jewish, left for Paris, where he directed a movie The Bad Seed for the first time. He moved to Hollywood in 1933, and in 1939 he had a hit when he co-wrote the screenplay for Ninotchka. In 1944, Billy Wilder made a film called Double Indemnity.

For example, someone who drank too much alcohol had rarely been a movie subject. But Wilder directed The Lost Weekend in 1945, whose subject was about alcohol. Reports at the time said manufacturers of alcoholic drinks tried to stop the movie. They did not succeed. The Lost Weekend also won the first prize of the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France. In 1950, Wilder made Sunset Boulevar, which won three Academy awards. The movie marked the last time Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett wrote together. In 1954, Billy Wilder became an independent producer. The next year, Wilders first movie The Seven Year Itch as an independent filmmaker was a huge success. In 1959, Wilder made a funny movie that was very popular. Billy Wilder continued to make interesting movies through the nineteen sixties and nineteen seventies.
