Some of these expressions are easy to understand. “As Easy as Falling off a Log” is one such expression. It describes a job that doesn’t take much effort. If you ever tried to walk on a falling tree log, you may understand what the expression means. It is easier to fall off the log than to stay on it. There are several other expressions that mean the same thing. And their meaning is as easy to understand as falling off a log. One is “Easy as Pie”. Nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet juicy pie, unless it is a piece of cake. “A Piece of Cake” is another expression that means something is extremely easy to do. Another expression is “As Easy as Shooting Fish in a Barrel（桶）”. Clearly, fish in a barrel will be much easier to shoot than fish in a stream(河流). In fact, it would be as easy as falling off a log. Sometimes, things that e to as easily also leave us just as easily. In fact, there is an expression “Easy Come Easy Go”. Another easy expression is “To Go Easy on a Person”. It means to treat a person kindly or gently, especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him. A wife might ask her husband to go easy on their son, because the boy didn’t mean to destroy the car. If it is necessary to borrow some money to fix the car, you should look for a friend who is an “Easy Touch”. An easy touch or a soft touch is someone who is kind and helpful. And one last expression, one that means ‘do not worry, or work too hard’. Try to keep away from difficult situations. “Take it easy”, until we meet again.( ) 56.

The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii39。s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22，000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grasscovered volcano. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted（火山爆發(fā)） for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20，000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too。 metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread—a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eyemakeup.Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. Onefourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.（ ）60. Why do large numbers of people e to Pompeii?A. To visit the volcano.B. To shop and eat there.C.
