I found some interesting information. In the 1500s most people in Scotland got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and still smelled clean for a month. However, in case the“freshness” had disappeared brides(新娘)would carry bouquets of flowers to hide their body odour(体臭). The yearly bath was taken in a big tub filled with hot water and the first bath was - 3 -taken by the man of the house. Other men in the house then took their baths in the same water, followed by the women. Babies were the last to be washed and then the water was so dirty that you couldnt see the bottom of the tub, hence the saying“dont throw the baby out with the bath water”. Wouldnt it have made more sense to wash babies first, followed by women and then men who were dirty after working in the fields?Most people lived in a little cottage with a dirt floor while more wealthy people had slate(石板)floors, hence the saying“dirt poor”. The slate floors would get slippery in the winter or wet so they were spread with thresh(麦秆). When the door was opened the thresh would start slipping outside. So a piece of wood was placed in the entrance way and that is why we call the step into a house the threshold. In the 1500s in Scotland poor people lived on vegetables. Pork was hard to get, so if guests arrived and saw a slice of bacon(腊肉)hanging up, they would think the host could“bring home the bacon”. The host would cut off some to share with guests and all sat around“chewing the fat”. 【语篇概述】在英语的学习中, 谚语是我们经常遇到的, 本文就介绍了一些谚语的由来, 阅读本文了解一下吧。5. Why did most people get married in June in the 1500s in Scotland?A. Because they still smelled clean by then. B. Because June was the best time of the year. C. Because brides could get fresh flowers in June. D. Because they had to take a bath before marriage. 【解析】选 A。细节理解题。根据文章第二段的内容可知, 在 16 世纪, 苏格兰人一般在五月份洗澡, 在之后的一个月内仍能保持清新的体香, 所以人们大都选择在六月份结婚。6. Which of the following was a sign of wealth in the 1500s in Scotland?A. Slates. B. Thresh. C. Vegetables. D. Bacon. 【解析】选 D。细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知, 在 16 世纪的苏格兰, 普通人吃不起肉, 而有一片腊肉就是财富的象征了。7. What can be used to describe a man who can support his family?A. He is dirt poor. - 4 -B. He is chewing the fat. C. He could bring home the bacon. D. He throws the baby out with the bath water. 【解析】选 C。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容可以推测出 bring home the bacon 可用来形容一个人有能力养家糊口。根据文章内容也可排除其他选项; dont throw the baby out with the bath water 意为“不要因小失大”; dirt poor 意为“很穷”; chew the fat 意为“聊天” 。8.
