A person's nose is important for breathing and smelling. The nose is also used in many popular expressions.

Some people are able to lead other people by the nose. For example, if a wife leads her 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 opinions easily. And many people will never pay through the nose, that is, they will not pay too much money for something.

It is always helpful when people keep their nose out of other people's business. The opposite of this is someone who noses around all the time. This kind of person is interested in other people's private matters. He is considered nosy.

And my teacher often says, "If you put your heart into it, the answers should be right 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 you are all ears and listen carefully. I also advise you to keep your ear to the ground. This means to be interested in what is happening 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. If a child does something wrong, we say he will get it in the neck, or he will be punished.

1.If a person always wants to lead others by the nose, that means

A. he always tells others what to do

A well-known saying goes like this, “mind at peace give you coolness”. As the temperature rises day by day, it’s time to create some coolness besides keeping calm.

Chinese people have some traditional ways to reduce the summer heat without air-conditioners (空調(diào)). Such ways include healthy food and tools that also help people experience the beauty of summer. Here are some choices which will bring you a surprisingly cool experience.

The first one is plum juice(酸梅湯). It is a traditional healthy drink in summer in Beijing. It can reduce summer heat in the human body. People can have the juice all year round, yet summer is the best time.

The second is a bamboo mat. It is a lovely must-have that can cool your summer with a naturally nice smell. There are many sizes for beds and chairs and so on. It’s really comfortable to lie on a bamboo mat and drink some plum juice while watching TV in summer.

The last one is Chinese fans. Available in many shapes and materials, Chinese fans are special for the water-ink paintings they carry. Fans made of silk were often used by women, especially young unmarried ladies in ancient China. They used fans to hide their mouths or aces when they wanted to avoid showing shyness. If you want to lead a low-carbon(低碳) style of living, a fan is necessary in summer.
