This should be done quite early in themonth, before the hot days begin.Its best for the sheep to have the wooltaken off, or they will be too hot in the summertime.When the time comes for washing the sheep, they are driven to a pond or a littleriver.Then they are thrown into the water, one at a time. The men who are in the watercatch them, and wash them to get the dirt all out of the wool.When the wool is dry, the sheep are taken to the shearer; and he cuts off the woolwith a large pair of shears.In a short time, before the cold winter comes, new wool grows out on the sheep. Bythe coming of spring, there is so much that it must be cut off soon.55. When are sheep sheared usually?A. In February.B. In June.C. In April.D. In August.56.

The nose is also used inmany popular expressions.Some people are able to lead other people by the nose. For example, if a wife leadsher husband by the nose, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do.Some people are said to be hard-nosed. They will not change their opinionseasily. And many people will never pay through the nose, that is, they will not pay toomuch money for something.It is always helpful when people keep their nose out of other peoples business.The opposite of this is someone who noses around all the time. This kind of person isinterested in other peoples private matters. He is considered nosy.And my teacher often says, “If you put your heart into it, the answers should beright under your nose.” It means something can be found or seen easily.As for ear, there are also some expressions.When I want to say something to you, I hope youareall ears and listen carefully. I also advise you to keep your ear to the ground. This means to be interested in what ishappening around you and what people are thinking.Another expression about ear is to play it by ear. Someone is able to play a song or a piece of music by remembering the tune(旋律) and not by reading the music.There are many other expressions about different parts of our body.For example, if someone is playing a joke on you, you can say, “You are pulling my leg.” And to turn your hand to something means to begin to do something.
