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.

Most people like having a picnic. But what does the word mean? Where does it come from? What is a picnic?

For most people a picnic is a meal they eat outside the home, usually in a park, by a river, or even sitting in a car if the weather is cold and wet. At one time, however, (66)people had picnics at home at their own dinner tables.

The word picnic comes from the French words piquer which means “to pick” or “take” and pique-nipue which means “a small coin”. (67)Everyone who came to a picnic brought something to eat. They took or picked small pieces of food from each plate. They had a pique-nique. This kind of meal was popular in Britain, The British used the French words for it but changed the letters to make “picnic”. This is the way we write it today.

(68)In some countries there are big picnics on special days. Lots of people go to parks on these picnics. For most people, however, a picnic is a family party. The family puts some food and drink in a basket, gets in the car and goes off to a nice place in the country or by the sea.
