Do you know the following expressions?
Homeric laughter
The “Homer” in this expression is the Greek poet who wrote The Iliad and the Odyssey. People laugh
differently. Some laugh silently, while others tend to laugh loudly. “Homeric laughter” refers to laughter of
the latter (后者) kind. It is at times uncontrollable, and the entire body shakes during the process. This kind
of laughter is called Homeric laughter because this is how the gods laughed in Homer’s classics.
Faustian bargain
According to most stories, Faust was a German scholar who was rather unhappy with his life. The
devil( 魔 鬼 ), Mephistopheles, promises him that in return for his soul, he will give Faust unlimited
power and knowledge. Faust agrees and experiences all kinds of pleasures, but, in the end, his soul is
condemned to the hell (下地狱). A “Faustian bargain” therefore is a deal that finally results in one's ruin. It
means a bargain made for temporary gain without taking future consequences into consideration.
A three-ring circus (马戏团)
When you refer to a situation as being a three-ring circus, you are saying that it is a situation of
complete confusion. There are so many activities taking place all together that they leave you confused or
annoyed. The expression comes from the world of entertainment — the circus. The area where the artists
perform their acts is called the “ring”. In the past, some of the circuses were so grand that they had three
acts taking place simultaneously in three different “rings”. The audience had to decide which “ring” they
wanted to focus on.
In the swim (of things)
When someone is in the swim of things, the individual is actively participating in the things
happening around him, as in “I've been ill, but soon I'll be back in the swim of things.” In the world of
fishing, fishermen use the word “swim” to refer to the section of the lake/river where fish can be found in
2
plenty. So, if you are a fisherman and wish to catch a lot of fish, where would you be? You would be “in
the swim”!
24. According to the text, Homeric laughter __________.
A. was the way Homeric laughed
B. means nervous, silent laughter
C. is a way to show disagreement
D. comes from a Greek poet’s works
25. If a person makes a Faustian bargain, __________.
A. he might come to a bad end
B. he would be considered clever
C. his life would become satisfying
D. he would gain power and knowledge
26. What does the underlined word “simultaneously” most probably mean?
A. All of a sudden. B. Little by little.
C. At the same time. D. One after another.
27. What do we learn about the expression “in the swim (of things)”?
A. It means having a lot of things to do．
B. It has nothing to do with swimming．
C. Originally it was used to refer to "going fishing"．
D. Patients use it to express their desire for health.
C
A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep.
But now a study has found it really does help people nod off（打瞌睡）—if it is milked from a cow at
night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been
proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety（焦虑）.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South
Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder（奶粉） made from cows milked both during the
day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less
active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study
published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cow milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now,
