Street art is very popular around the world. ...

Street art is very popular around the world. You can find it on buildings, street signs and trash cans from Tokyo to Paris, from Moscow to Cape Town. Street art has become a global culture and even art museums are collecting the works of street artists.

People have different opinions about street art. Some think it is bad, but others think it is a very beautiful new culture.

Street art began in New York in the 1960s. This style of drawing and writing became know as graffiti. Graffiti art showed that young people wanted to rebel(反对)against the rules. They traveled around cities to make paintings that everyone could see.

One well-known New York street artist is Swoon. She cuts paper pictures of people and puts them on walls. Swoon didn’t start as street artist. She studied art but, later, got bored with the works she saw in museums. Then she fell in love with graffiti. The people in New York enjoy Swoon’s style. Some museums have already bought some of her works.

Street artists do their work for some reasons. A number of them choose street art because it is closer to the everyday life.

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.

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?
