As 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. Let’s look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching 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 person’s 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 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.
小題1: “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, he’s sure to succeed.
D．Everybody has a time in life to be lucky.
小題2:What can we know from the passage?

B．Chinese people prefer dogs to cats.

D．Rose is the national flower of all western countries.
小題3:Which statement is right according to passage?
A．People think the rose means love, peace, luck and friendship.
B．The words about plants and animals are used both in positive and negative ways in different cultures.
C．In China, people use the dog to describe negative actions.

In the United States, parents usually encourage their children to develop their potential (潛能). They pay attention to what their kids can do, not what they can’t. As a result, US boys and girls hope to be actors, athletes and doctors; many even want to become presidents when they grow up.
US parents often encourage their children to take part in all kinds of activities at school. They believe that joining in these activities can make their children mature(成熟). Schoolwork is important, but they think that social skills are important as well.
But things in China are different. Chinese parents often tell their children to study hard and pass exams. They think that, for a student, staying away from schoolbooks means wasting time.
