| As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let's look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, "a homeless dog", "a mad dog", "a running dog" and "a dog catching a mouse", have negative (消极的) meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive (积极的) actions. For example," you are a lucky dog" means you are a lucky person. And "every dog has its day" means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person's serious illness, they say "sick as a dog". The word "dog-tired" means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, "cat" is often used to describe a woman who is cruel (冷酷的). There are many other examples of how "cat" is used differently as well. The rose is regarded as a symbol (象征) of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose stands for (代表) love, peace (和平), courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries. The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used. |
| 1. The word "dog" in Chinese usually ______. |
| A. shows peace B. stands for friendship C. has a negative meaning D. has a positive meaning |
| 2. "Every dog has its day." means "______". |
| A. Everybody in the world is lucky. B. Each person lives his own way of life. C. If one works hard, he's sure to succeed. D. Everybody has a time in life to be lucky. |
| 3. Western people usually use "cat" to refer to (指代) "______". |
| A. a tired person B. a brave man C. a homeless person D. an unkind woman |
| 4. Which of the following is true according to the passage? |
| A. Words show differences in culture. B. Chinese people prefer dogs to cats. C. Western people think cats to be good friends. D. Rose is the national flower of all western countries. |
| 5. What's the best title for the passage? |
| A. Negative or Positive B. Different Countries Have Different Culture C. Rose Means the Same in Chinese and English D. What Dog and Cat Mean in Chinese and English |

| A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn't much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what seemed to be a dime (十美分硬币). The sound of a coin dropping on the street catches everybody's attention. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores (忽视) the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again. There are so many sounds that catch the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when they hear the siren (警报) of a police car or an ambulance (救护车). When I'm in New York, I'm a New Yorker. I don't turn either. I hardly hear a siren there. At home in my little town in Connecticut, it's different. The faraway high sound of a police car, an ambulance or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I'm sitting and brings me to the window if I'm in bed. It's the quietest sounds that catch our attention most easily, not the loudest. In the middle of the night, I can hear water dropping a hundred yards away through three closed doors. I've been hearing little creaking (吱嘎) noises and sounds in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. Why do I never hear those sounds in the daytime? |
| 1. The sound of a coin dropping made people ______. |
| A. think of money B. shout aloud C. pay attention to it D. look at each other |
| 2. People in New York ______. |
| A. are used to sirens B. don't hear loud noises C. are interested in sounds D. don't care about quiet sounds |
| 3. The writer ______. |
| A. has a bad hearing B. stays up late at night C. comes from a little town D. sleeps next to the window |
| 4. The last paragraph (段落) tells us that ______. |
| A. the writer thinks a lot at night B. water should be turned off at night C. the sounds at night make the writer afraid D. the quietest sounds at night are easily heard |
