There is a story, saying that whenever you see a rainbow you should run at once to the place where it touches the ground, and th

28、ere you would find a pot of gold. Of course it is not true. You could not find the pot of gold or its end. No matter how far you run, it always seems far away. A rainbow is not a thing which we can feel with our hands as we can feel a flower. It is only the effect(结果) of light shining on raindrops.

29、The raindrops catch the sunlight and break it up into all the wonderful colours which we see. It is called a rainbow perhaps because it is made up of raindrops and looks like a bow（弓). That is why we can never see a rainbow in a clear sky. We see a rainbow only when there is rain in the air and the

33、. The first colour of a rainbow is always . A. yellow B. red C. green D .blue DAs we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Lets look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in C

34、hinese about dog, 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

35、 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.
