Americans use many expressions with the word dog．People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well．They take their dogs for walks，let them play outside and give them good food and medical care．However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of 1ife．The expression，to lead a dog’s life，describes a person who has an unhappy existence．

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world．That means many people are competing for the same things，like good jobs．To be successful，a person has to work like a dog．Such hard work can make people dog-tired，or sick as a dog.

Still，people say every dog has its day．This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life．To be successful, people often have to learn new skills．Yet．some people say that you can never teach all old dog new tricks．They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and wilt not change the way they do things．

Husbands and wives use this doghouse term when they are angry at each other．For example，a woman might get angry at her husband for coming home late or forgetting their wedding anniversary．She might tell him that he is in the doghouse．She may not treat him nicely until he apologizes．However，the husband may decide that it is best to 1eave things alone and not create more problems．He might decide to let sleeping dogs lie．

Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather．The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year．A rainstorm may cool the weather．But we do not want it to rain too hard．We do not want it to rain cats and dogs．

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the   31   side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to   32   in good health，or advice about how to behave and   33  yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer   34  ，leaving one half of it or keeping the text    35    the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start，    36   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   37    result．

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your   39   ．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be   39   up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   40   you to do what is left behind．Thus you are   41   in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice    42  and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   43    greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other．

In fact that is what   44   is like；we are often   45   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  46    like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that our attention is   47   to the thing only after we get into another．The former may be more important than the latter and this   48   a divided mind．I still remember a philosopher’s   49 ：“When one door shuts，another opens in life．”So a casual（不经意的）    50   may not be a bad one．

31．A．same       B．opposite       C．either              D．front

32．A．get          B．bring         C．1ead              D．keep

33．A．enjoy              B．help        C．conduct           D．dress
