　　A
　　Some idiomatic phrases in English, often used in both spoken and written language, are very confusing! They don’t even make sense when you first see them. However, using one of these phrases correctly when speaking or writing to an English speaker is very impressive and shows that you are comfortable with the language. Here are some wonderful and interesting British idioms. Use them wisely.
　　When pigs fly!
　　This expression is one of my favorites and I use it all the time. It is used primarily when speaking, meaning that something is extremely unlikely or impossible. For example, “I will forgive him when pigs fly!” “When do you thin will get a gym membership, Lucy?” “When pigs fly!”
　　A penny for your thoughts?
　　This question is used in a situation where someone appears thoughtful or is very quiet seeming lost in thought. But remember that you don’t actually have to pay them a penny if they do tell you what is going on! For example, “You’ve been a bit quiet this evening, Pete. A penny for your thoughts?”
　　It’s the bee’s knees
　　The phrase dates back to the 1920s, and refers to an extraordinary person, thing, idea, and so on. For example, “Try this chocolate. It’s the bee’s knees.”
　　To feel a bit under the weather
　　I use this expression in many different situations but most use it to refer to feeling ill, or unwell. You would not use this phrase if you were feeling extremely unwell. It is only for those times when you are feeling a little ill or suffering from something slightly like a cold or a cough. However, this can also be used to refer to feeling emotionally low.
　　21. What will you say if you think something is special?
　　A. When pigs fly! B. A penny for your thoughts?
　　B. It’s the bee’s knees D. To feel a bit under the weather.
　　22. Which of the following sentence can replace “A penny for your thoughts?”
　　A. What can I do for you? B. What are you thinking about?
　　C. How are you feeling? D. How do you like it?
　　23. Why does the author write the passage?
　　A. To introduce some useful idioms. B. To show how to remember idioms.
　　C. To tell people the importance of idioms. D. To arouse the interest in idioms.
