Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening.

11、Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly. When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This expre

12、ssion means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.Now, besides being a season

13、 and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.There is another way we use “spring”

14、 as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isnt young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, lets say you know an 83-year-old

15、 man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “Thats amazing! After all, hes no spring chicken.”But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. Lets say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow, shes n

16、o spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.21. What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”?A. The season after winter. B.

How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”？A. AngryB. SurprisedC. HappyD. Frightened24. What can be inferred from the last pa

18、ragraph?A. Being young is a great advantage in career development.B. Women may feel offended when described as “no spring chicken”.C. Using “spring-related” expressions in conversations seems impolite.D. Expressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.BAll forms of tobacco - ci

19、garettes, pipes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco- are dangerous.

22、es to quitting work for different people. For some, quitting cold turkey is best. Others find that a slower approach is the way to go.

23、cer Society. The Internet offers a number of good resources to help people quit smoking. When quitting, it can be helpful to realize that the first few days are the hardest. So dont give up.
