31、 were travelling together in the mountainDAs 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 Chinese about the dog, for example, “a

32、 homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative（消极的）meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans.

34、 cruel（冷酷的）. There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.The rose is regarded as a symbol（象征）of love in both China and some western countries.

38、es.EA few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasnt much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other 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 t

39、he street catches everybodys attention. Whatever the coin is, 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.
