together in the mountainDAs we know,there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture.We can seedifferences when we pay attention to the way words are used.Lets look at the words aboutanimals and plants.Most expressions in Chinese about the dog,for example,“a homeless dog”,“amad dog”,“a running dog”and“a dog catching a mouse”,have negative（消极的）meanings.Butin western countries,dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans.In English,peopleuse the dog to describe positive（积极的）actions.For example,“you are a lucky dog”means youare a lucky person.And“every dog has its day”means each person has good luck sometimes.Todescribe a persons serious illness,they say“sick as a dog”.The word“dog-tired”means verytired.However,Chinese love cats very much.But in western culture,“cat”is often used todescribe a woman who is cruel（冷酷的）.There are many other examples of how“cat”is useddifferently 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 roseis 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.52.The word“dog”in Chinese usually _.A.shows peaceB.stands for friendshipC.has a negative meaningD.has a positive meaning53.“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,hes sure to succeed.D.Everybody has a time in life to be lucky.54.Western people usually use“cat”to refer to（指代）“_”.A.a tired personB.a brave manC.a homeless personD.an unkind woman55.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.56.Whats the best title(标题)for the passage?A.Negative or PositiveB.Different Countries Have Different CultureC.Rose Means the Same in Chinese and EnglishD.What Dog and Cat Mean in English and ChineseEA few minutes ago,walking back from lunch,I started to cross the street when I heard thesound of a coin dropping.It wasnt much but,as I turned,my eyes caught the heads of severalother 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 everybodys attention.Whatever the coinis,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 seldomturn to look when they hear the siren（警报）of a police car or an ambulance（救护车）.When Im in New York,Im a New Yorker.I dont turn either.I hardly hear a siren there.At home in my little town in Connecticut,its different.The faraway high sound of a policecar,an ambulance or a fire siren brings me to my feet if Im sitting and brings me to the window ifIm in bed.Its the quietest sounds that catch our attention most easily,not the loudest.In the middle ofthe night,I can hear water dropping a hundred yards away through three closed doors.Ive beenhearing little creaking（吱嘎）noises and sounds in the middle of the night for twenty-five years inour
