So it is not surprising that there are many expressions about cats. Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries (金丝雀). If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself, we say he looks like the cat that eat the canary.Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you play cat and mouse with someone, you change between different kinds of behavior（行为） when dealing with another person. For example, a child might offer something sweet to his little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.You may have known that cats spend most of their time sleeping. Sometimes people sleep for a short time during the day. This is called a cat nap.If you tell about something that was supposed to be a secret, we say you let the cat out of the bag. If you are not able to speak or answer a question, someone might ask if the cat has got your tongue.Have you ever watched children in classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? “When the cats away, the mice will play”will best describe that situation.You may have heard this expression: curiosity (好奇心) killed the cat. This means being too concerned about things that are not your business might cause problems.If your home is very small, you might say there is not enough room to swing a cat. But you probably should not try this at home!24. Which can describe a person who is proud to have completed a job successfully?A. The cat has got his tongue.B. He plays cat and mouse with someone.C.

In the US children must go to school from the age of 6 to between the ages of l4 and l6, depending on the state they live inIn England and Wales the subjects taught in schools are laid down by the National Curriculum (课程), which was introduced in 1988 and sets out (制定) in detail the subjects that children should study and the levels of achievement they should reach by the ages of 7, 11, 14 and 16，when they are tested. The National Curriculum does not apply in Scotland, where each school decides what subjects it will teachIn the US, the subjects taught are decided by national and local governments. Whereas British schools usually have prayers and religious instruction, American schools are not allowed to include prayers or to teach particular religious beliefsAt 16, students in England and Wales take GCSE examinations. These examinations are taken by students of all levels of ability in any of a range of subjects and may involve a final examination, an assessment (评价) of work done during the two years course, or both of these things. At 18, some students take A-level examinations, usually in not more than 3 subjects. It is necessary to have A-levels in order to go to a university or polytechnic (综合技术大学)In Scotland, students take the SCE examinations. A year later, they can take examinations called HIGHS, after which they can either go straight to a university or spend a further year at school and take the Certificate of Sixth Year Studies. In Scotland, the university system is different from that in England and Wales. Courses usually last four years rather than three and students study a larger number of subjects as part of their degreeIn the US, school examinations are not as important as they are in Britain. Students in High schools do have exams at the end of their last two years, but these final exams are considered along with the work that the students have done during the school years.27.

Two of Taras new ESL (English as the second language) classmates wanted to know where she was from. They were both from Iraq(伊拉克). Because Tara looked like an Iraqi, one of the classmates asked Tara, in English, if she was from Iraq. Tara replied, “No, Im not.” Then the two classmates took turns asking Tara if she was from Iran(伊朗), or Syria(叙利亚) or Jordan(约旦). To each question, Tara answered with a simple no. Laughing, one classmate said to the other, “Shes not from anywhere!” The two went to their desks, talking to each other in Arabic(阿拉伯语).The next day, the teacher divided the students into groups. The students in each group asked introductory questions of each other. A student in Taras group asked her, “Where are you from?” Tara answered she was from Iraq. The two classmates who had questioned Tara the day before were sitting only a few feet away. Both of them heard Taras answer.“Aha!” they both shouted. “You are from Iraq!” Tara smiled and said yes.
