11、 such thing is get your act together. When things go wrong in a business, an employer may get angry, he may shout get your act together. Getting your act together is getting organized. In business it usually means developing a calm and orderly plan of action. It is difficult to tell exactly where th

12、e saying began. But it is probable that it was in the theater or movie industry. Perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes.

19、 world. Now it isbecoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music. To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing(舒适的) atmosphere.
