Some are just hard to figure out and others don't make any sense at all. Here are four funny English sayings that you can use every day. I'm happy as a clam . Think of a clam. It doesn't have to do anything. It just sits on a beach or on the bottom of the ocean all day doing nothing. It never has to work. That sounds like happiness, doesn't it? If someone asks, "How are you today?" you can answer "I am happy as a clam" to let him or her know what a great mood you are in. I wouldn't touch that (or him/her) with a ten-foot pole. Maybe there is a person who you don't want to be friends with or even talk to. Well, this saying means that you dislike him or her so much that you don't want to touch or go near him or her, even within ten feet! You don't have a leg to stand on. This saying doesn't mean that the person you're talking to has no legs. It means that his or her argument is incorrect. He or she doesn't have a leg to stand on because he or she has no facts to support what he or she is saying. This saying is a good way to tell people that you think they're wrong. Break a leg! This saying actually means the opposite of what it sounds like. If you tell this to a person, you're wishing him or her good luck!The saying comes from a superstition that whatever you say aloud, the opposite will come true. Question: We can learn from the passage that _ . Options: A: the saying "You don't have a leg to stand on" means someone loses his legs B: the saying "Break a leg" means someone hurts his or her leg C: if we say "Break a leg" to someone, we give him or her a good wish D: if we say "I am ill" aloud, we will become healthy

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: BEING an astronaut sounds cool, doesn't it? In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity . However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment, and that's very sad. What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show, because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity. Of course, astronauts can still produce tears . But crying is much more difficult in space, according to The Atlantic in January. Without gravity, tears don't flow down out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go -- they just stick to your eyes. In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. "Tears," he said, "don't fall off of your eyes. They just stay there." Besides making your vision unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that's not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts' eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. "My right eye is stinging like crazy," Feustel told his teammate during the walk. Since gravity doesn't work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait -- "When the tears get big enough, they simply break free of the eyes and float around," astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic. There are lots of small things -- things like crying -- that we are so used to on Earth. We usually _ until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts can't talk to each other directly. They also can't eat or drink in normal ways. They can't even burp , because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center. Therefore,... Question: What effect do tears have on astronauts? Options: A: They cause physical pain. B: They bring comfort to them. C: They make their vision clearer. D: They float around and cause trouble.
