• 1．Hello and welcome to English with Lucy.Today we have another topic："Four common British expressions." Now，before we get started，make sure you connect with me on all my social media which is right here.You can subscribe to my YouTube.You can also like me on Facebook.And for my Chinese followers，I have my Weibo account as well.
     Four Common British Expressions：
     "A piece of cake."
     And this is very similar to "Easy-peasy，lemon squeezy，" which we've discussed in a former video.And basically，it means very easy.So I might come out of an easy exam saving， "That exam was a piece of cake. "
     "Break a leg!"
     It actually looks really rather cruel，but I promise you it's positive.And "Break a leg!" means "Good luck!" So before a race，before a job interview，before a test，instead of saying "Good luck!" I might say "Break a leg!"
     "It cost an arm and a leg."
     And this basically means something was really expensive.If I say，"My bag cost an arm and a leg，" I mean it cost a lot of money.
     "To call it a day."
     And this means "to end a task".So，for example，"I'm feeling a bit tired.I think I'll call it a day." That means "I think I'll stop here.Let's finish."
     Thank you so much for watching this program of "Four Common British Expressions." I hope you like it，and I hope you've learned something.

• 3．In choosing a friend，one should be very careful．A good friend can help you study．You can have fun together and make each other happy．Sometimes you will meet fairweather friends．They will be with you as long as you have money or luck，but when you are down，they will run away．How do I know when I have found a good friend？I look for certain qualities of character，especially understanding，honesty and reliability（信任）．
  Above all else，I look for understanding in a friend．A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling．He is not quick to judge．Instead，he tries to learn from others．He puts himself in the other person's place，and he tries to think of ways to be helpful．He is also a good listener．
  At the same time，however，a good friend is honest．He does not look for faults in others．He notices their good points．In short，a friend will try to understand me and accept me．
  Another quality of a friend is reliability．I can always depend on a good friend．If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time，I can be sure that he will be there．If I need a favor，he will do his best to help me．If I am in trouble，he will not run away from me．
  There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special．A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun．We should enjoy our lives，and we would enjoy our friendship．That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with．A good friend likes the same things I like．We share experience and learn from each other．A good friend has a good sense of humor too．He likes to laugh with me．That is how we share in the joy of being friends．And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me．
  When I meet someone who is reliable，honest，and understanding，I know I've found a friend!

• 4．Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
     Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water.Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场） in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
     There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control.
     Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be "green gyms".They are better replacements（代替物）for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all，it's free.
  
  （1）Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of？

  
  A．Motor racing in the desert.
  B．Cycling around a lake.
  C．Playing basketball in a gym.
  D．Swimming in a sports center.
  （2）The author uses power walking as an example mainly because

  .
  A．it is an outdoor sport
  B．it improves our health
  C．it uses fewer resources
  D．it is recommended by experts
  （3）What do we know about golf from the passage？

  
  A．It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
  B．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.
  C．It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.
  D．It causes water shortages around the world.
  （4）The author writes the passage to

  .
  A．show us the function of major sports
  B．discuss the major influence of popular sports
  C．encourage us to go in for green sports
  D．introduce different types of environment-friendly sports
