In Greek mythology, a goddess named Gala was the great mother of all. She was said to have created the Earth and the Universe.

8、Mother Nature is a little different. This term relates to the natural world as if it were a woman. It has been said that there is nothing as great as a mother“s love. Some mother expressions mean just that. The mother lode comes from mining. It means the place where the largest amount of gold, silve

9、r, or anything else of value can be found. But now, the term mother lode means a rich supply of anything. We often use the word “strike“ with this expression. For example, you might say, “She just graduated college and struck the mother lode with her new job!“ In other words, the woman“s new job is

10、making her rich! The mother of all: When we call something “the mother of all,“ this means it is the biggest or best of something. Here is an example: “We are going to throw the mother of all parties this weekend. So you have to come!“ Mama“s boy: Naturally, the word “mother“ can be used to mean to

11、give birth, even to something you cannot touch, such as an idea or wisdom. The saying “necessity is the mother of invention“ means that when people really need to do something, they will find a way to do it. And “experience is the mother of wisdom“ means that people learn from what happens to them.

12、You might think all expressions about mothers are sweet and loving. Not so. A boy who is “tied to his mother“s apron strings“ is controlled by his mother. We can also call him a “mama“s boy“. Both of these terms are even more insulting if you are talking about a man, not a young boy. It can be a hug

17、 on them. Try to use your own words. Two tragic cases of adults teasing babies have gained notoriety on Chinese social media lately. At the beginning of this year, a two-year-old boy suffered a brain injury after his uncle coaxed him into drinking some homemade wine in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous regi

18、on. And earlier this month, another two-year-old boy died after drinking some wine offered by three friends of his father“s during a party in Sichuan province. It is clear that Chinese people often express their love for babies through making fun of them or daring them to try something, but they may

19、 have to think twice from now on. As the two tragic cases have shown, teasing babies can easily lead to harm. According to a survey online, half of the respondents have witnessed kids being coaxed into drinking. The survey also shows that the most common way to make fun of babies in China is to tell

20、 them “Your mum discarded you“, with 38.1% of the respondents having experienced this. Number two is strangers kissing or touching babies, and number three is asking kids “Who do you love, dad or mum?“ Psychologists say Chinese people seldom think about the potential physical and mental harm caused

21、by such improper behavior. In fact, the result can be quite serious, as kids may develop a sense of insecurity or find it difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. It is suggested that Chinese people learn from other cultures and express their love through proper ways. （分数：30.00）_公共英语三级-32 答

Nothing

31、 would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, his little eyes focused brig

33、imself. I found in my baby“s behavior a metaphor for the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him, he didn“t feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don“t read, that they look down upon readi
