  Cats are the most popular pets among Americans.So it is not surprising there are many expressions about cats.Do you know any of them? Now let me introduce some to you.

  Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries.If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself, we say he looks like the cat that ate 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 when dealing with another person.For example, a child might offer something sweet to her little brother, and then take it away when reaches for it.

  A cat will often catch a small animal and present it to its owner.The saying “that looks like something the cat dragged in(把…拖进来)” describes something in bad condition.

  A fat cat is a person with a lot of money.

  There are many other expressions about cats in America.How interesting! Which kind of cat are you, or which kind would you like to be?

3.If you have much money, we can call you a sad cat.

  Plant scientists consider them as fruit.Most other people think of them as vegetables.Whatever you call tomatoes, there are many different kinds of this popular and healthy food.

  There are two groups of the plants.Small tomato plants grow to about one meter.They can be planted rather close together.Some short kinds do not require special care and are often gotten crop by machines.Large tomato plants can grow over two meters tall.They also produce larger fruits.

  People who grow only a few plants can place wire cages around each one.The cage can be made of wire fence material.The cage helps the plant grow taller and produce a better crop.

  Tomatoes often need extra calcium(Ca), or the fruits may be ruined.Add lime to the soil can solve this problem.Dry lands may also ruin the fruits.Tomatoes need water regularly.The soil should never dry out completely.Dried grass or leaves placed around the plant can help hold water in the soil and stop the growth of unwanted plants.

  Tomatoes are native to South America.The tomato is a member of the potato family.The leaves of the plant are poisonous, like the leaves of its relatives.Before the 18th century, people grew tomatoes only as pretty plants.They called the bright red fruit a “love apple”, but would not eat it.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容选择最佳答案.

  Dear Roni,

  Italy is wonderful. We started in Rome two weeks ago, drove to Florence last week and now we're on our way to Venice. Three weeks just isn't enough.

  The country near Florence is so beautiful-hills, olive trees. And red roofs(屋顶) of the houses look so nice far away.

  I am afraid I am getting bigger-the food here is so delicious!

Love,

Akemi

  Hi Roni,

  I can't believe(相信) you went to school here in Honolulu! Why did you leave?

  I spend each morning on the beach(海滩) and in the water. The sand is so soft and the beaches seem so long. The water is just the right temperature.

  One afternoon, I left the beach to walk in mountains near Honolulu. I enjoyed myself very much there.

  How I miss you!

Mari

  Dear Roni,

  Maybe I'm strange but I love the desert(沙漠)!

  Last week, our group spent four days in the desert. At times, it felt like the moon.

  I always thought deserts were all the same! They are not. Some parts look like mountains; others are really different.

  And when we find something green--a few plam trees, a little water, we feel good and great.

  See you in September,

Kim
