26、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.

27、The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added — a communications blackout caused by solar storms.
After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.
Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London.
“The Sun’s activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites,” said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.
At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections occur in the Sun's atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. “A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications,” Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.
Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.
The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares and explosions as they occur.
Professor Richard Hold away, the lab’s director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth. “If we have advance warning, we’ll be able to reduce the damage. What you don’t want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what’s caused the problem,” he said.
【1】The phrase “communications blackout” in paragraph 1 most probably refers to during the 2012 Olympics.
A．the extinguishing of the Olympic torch
B．the collapse of broadcasting systems
C．the transportation breakdown in London
D．the destruction of weather satellites
【2】What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?
A．The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.
B．The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.
C．It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.
D．The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.
【3】According to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to _________.
A．take images of the solar system
B．provide early warning of thunderstorms
C．keep track of solar activities
D．improve the communications on Earth
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．Solar Storms: An Invisible Killer
B．Solar Storms: Earth Environment in Danger
C．Solar Storms: Threatening the Human Race
D．Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be Troubled
28、When I started teaching at school, I was sure I would change the world and touch children who needed love.
Although my students seemed to respond pretty well to my teaching , there was a small group of girls who became more and more hostile towards me.
One day a fight happened in my classroom. Trying to end it, I stepped in to face one of these hostile young women, who started hitting me in the face. Two boys jumped up to control the girl, but the damage was done.
While the girl was suspended for a few days, I was determined that she would not return to my classroom. But I also prayed. I wanted to see all the students right there in my daily work at school.
On the top of my daily lesson-plan book, I wrote this statement, “To see all the children in my classroom is always beautiful.” With this view I could expect to heal any anger towards the girl in my heart.
After her suspension, she returned to my classroom. The student’s young mother was trying to raise six children while her husband was away in the war. The mother and I agreed to work together to help her oldest daughter.
There were no more incidents of anger the rest of the year. In fact, In the seven years I remained at that school, I taught all six of this family’s children. When the youngest was in my class, the mother told me, “Our family love you. Every year one of my kids says, ‘I hope I’m in her class!’”
The standard of seeing each of my students as a perfect one was the best teaching tool I had, and led to success.
