Usually , there is some connection between the meanings so that you can see how one grew out of another. Occasionally, there is a meaning which is not connected with the others, even completely different from the others.Knowing these facts about words, you do not expect a word to have the same meaning in very sentence . But in some expressions and phrase. none of the usual meanings seems to fit. Thephrase has a special meaning of it's own. Phrases of this sort are called idioms.

And wherever man has gone, except for the very coldest parts of the world, rats have also gone and have very quickly grown in numbers.History books tell us that armies of rats moved into Europe from Asia hundreds of years ago. On their way, these armies of rats swam rivers raced across open fields, destroyed crops, and moved through buildings, scaring and frightening people.It didn't take rats long to discover that there was a better way of traveling than on foot. they found ships just to their liking. These unlisted passengers had no trouble adjusting to sea life on any kind of ship.In no time, they were exploring below decks and making holes in sacks and boxes filled with good things to eat. then as now they were no friends of sailors. Along the wharves of the seaports all over the world you can hear tales about rats. Some of these stories , such as those about rats being the first to leaving the sinking ship, are probably true. This is because more rats live below decks in the very bottom of a shop ,so they are the first to get wet if the ship develops a leak. No wonder they run!Though people have lived with rats all through history, they have said very little good about rats. Rats eat crops , damage property and even cause deaths by carrying disease from one place to another.Y et, it is no easy job destroying rats. Rats defend their homes with great courage. Even a cat will think twice about fighting a large rat. And they are smart enough to live under all sorts of conditions. Now there are more rats living on the earth than there are people. it is thought thatthere are more than five billion rats alive today.46.

"means _______.A. rats soon learned how to live on shipsB. rats enjoyed life on the ship and they never suffered from seasicknessC. rats adapted themselves to sea life better than passengers on the shipD. rats lived better on sea than on land48.

But in fact we often talk with others nonverbably (非词语的) , although we may do it unconsciously. For example, sometimes we gesture (表示意见) with our eyebrows or hands or even with the motion of our body. These actions often seem casual (随便的) . But researchers have discovered in recent years that these actions follow a certain system. They are as consistent (一致的）and comprehensive as verbal language. This is what we call body language.Different people use different body languages. Ours is quite different from other peoples' When a Chinese feels disappointed or doubtful, he will probably shake his head while an American will be likely to shrug his shoulders. During a talk, a polite listener in England will look at the speaker attentively and blink his eyes occasionally to show his interest, but to blink eyes means nothing to Americans, who expect their listener to nod or murmur something. In some African countries , when people become interested in what you are talking about, they will move their fists to and for slightly. But to us Chinese , we will tend to think that he's ready for fighting.Now we are learning a certain foreign language, but we should also learn some body languages so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding.51.
