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 a mouse”, have negative（消極的）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（積極的）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（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. People think the rose stands for（代表）love, peace（和平）, courage and
friendship. And the rose is the national flower of

A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn’t 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（十美分硬幣）.
The sound of a coin dropping on the street catches everybody’s attention. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores（忽視）the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again.
