22、Cats and dogs are the most popular pets in America. So it is not surprising that we can find different sentences (句子)about cats in a language book when we learn English.

Unlike dogs, it is difficult to teach cats to do something. Cats are not like sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or impossible job is like “herding(放牧) cats”.

Everybody knows cats and mice are “good friends”. Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches, such as a mouse. So if your daughter offers something sweet to her little brother and then takes it away when he reaches for it, you can use "play cat and mouse". What will children do in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? They are sure to make as much noise as possible."When the cat's away, the mice will play" has the same meaning.

There are a lot more sayings about cats. Americans might say "the cat's miaow" to describe（描述） something that is the best or finest. “A fat car" means a person with lo of money. If you tell about something secret（秘密）, we say you “let the cat out of the bag”. If you are not able to speak or answer a question, someone might think 'the cat has got your tongue(舌头)". Also, you may often hear the sentence “Curiosity(好奇) killed the cat.” That means caring too much about things that are not your business(与你无关之事) might lead to serious problems.

【1】What may you say if you want someone to keep the secret for you?

A. Curiosity killed the cat. B. Has the cat got your tongue.

C. Don’t let the cat out of the bag. D. Let’s play cat and mouse.

【2】Which of the following can we use “Curiosity killed the cat” to describe?

A. Someone always asked a lady her age or weight and it made her angry.

B. Someone made a big noise as soon as the teacher left the classroom.

C. Someone won the first in the final test and he felt very excited.

D. Someone got the newest iPhone as a present from his parents.

【3】What can we learn from the article?

A. We can use “A fat cat” to describe a fat man or a person who eats too much.

B. There are more sentences about cats than those about dogs.

C. It’s more difficult to keep sheep or cows than cats.

D. “Play cat and mouse” usually means “play tricks on sb”.

【4】Where can you find the article?

A. In a science report about cats.

B. On a website telling people how to keep cats.

C. In a magazine telling different jokes and funny stories.

D. In a language book that teaches students how to use saying about cats.

23、About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college in New York, I was working as a practice student at my university's Museum of Natural History. One day while I was working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.

As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was seated on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and the trunk of the human body. She was wearing a little white dress with the patterns of red roses and yellow dots.

As the couple wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(眨眼示意). As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the most beautiful, largest smile I have ever seen.

All of a sudden her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about. I immediately felt full of hope and confidence. She took me, a poor, unhappy college student, into her world, a world of smiles, love and warmth.

That was ten years ago, but I still remember it clearly as if it happened just yesterday. I'm a successful business person now and whenever I get down and think about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and the remarkable lesson about life that she taught me.

24、The Biggest and the Gentle

  The elephant is the biggest four-legged animal in the world．It is also the gentlest，but not always！
