Take the sentence “How do you do?”as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master (掌握) the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can’t understand the speakers’sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.“She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”“I’ve seen the film already.”“I have already seen the film.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit (精神) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。

One day my mother was cooking and I was playing with my younger brother Tony. Suddenly Iran to my mother and said, “Tony fell from the open window!” She was very worried and ran out of the kitchen. Then I said, “Don ’t worry, I ’m just joking.” My mother shouted at me, “If you do it again, I ’ll hit you.”Another day I went swimming with my friends in the sea. I wanted to play a joke on them. In the beginning I swam fast and I called out “Help!”. All my friends came to help me. However, they found that I was joking. But half an hour later I wasn ’t joking. I was so fast, soon I got tired and couldn ’t swim on in water. I tried my best to call my friends for help, but this time nobody came to help me.In the end they found I was telling the truth. They came and saved my life. They took me to the hospital. This is the best lesson in my life. From then on, I haven ’t joked on anyone.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
