     For many people, the name Baskin-Robbins is linked to sweet memories of eating ice cream. Irvine

Robbins, who helped create this famous company, died in May at the age of ninety. His life's work of

making fun and exciting ice cream flavors changed the way Americans enjoy this food.

     Irvine Robbins opened his first ice cream store in 1945 in California. At the time, there were no stores

that sold only ice cream. His sister's husband, Burton Baskin, also opened his own ice cream stores.

     In 1948 they combined their six stores into one business. Baskin and Robbins realized that they were

too busy to operate each store well. So, they decided to sell part of each operation to the manager of that store. This permitted the company to grow quickly.

     By 1953, they renamed their company Baskin-Robbins. They advertised that they sold 31 kinds of

ice cream to show the many choices buyers had. There was one flavor for every day of the month.

     Robbins and Baskin sold "Lunar Cheesecake" the day after astronauts landed on the moon in 1969.

Other flavors included "ChaChaCha", for cherry chocolate chip, and Robbins' personal favorile "Jamoca

Almond Fudge". They said: "We sell fun, not just ice cream. "

     By 1967, there were 500 Baskin-Robbins stores in the United States. The business partners sold

their company that year. Today, there are more than 5,800 Baskin-Robbins stores around the world.

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms（习语）, though my teacher told us the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.

One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised. Gently shaking his head，shrugging his shoulders, he said，“You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a right topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted（打断）again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” I realized I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
