Lets look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about dogs, for example, a homeless dog, a mad dog and a dog catching a mouse, have negative 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 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 persons 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.The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose means love, peace, 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）Every dog has its day means _. A . Everybody in the world is luckyB . Each person lives his own way of lifeC . If one works hard, hes sure to succeedD . Everybody has a time in life to be lucky（2）Western people usually use a cat to refer to _. A . a tired personB . a brave manC . an unkind womanD . a homeless person（3）In which country is the rose regarded as a symbol of love? A . China.B . England.C . America.D .
