A mouse was surprised to discover that the farmer and his wife had a mousetrap(老鼠夹)in the house. It ran to warn everyone, "There is a mousetrap in the house!"

A hen raised its head and said, "Mr. Mouse, this mousetrap is only for you. I won't be worried about it. "The mouse turned to a pig." I am sorry, Mr. Mouse, but the mousetrap has nothing to do with me, either! "the pig said. Then the mouse turned to a cow. "It sounds like you have a problem, not me," the cow said. The mouse returned to the house with its head down and it was very sad because no one would help.

That night the farmer's wife heard a loud sound and she rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness she could not see that it was a snake. The snake bit(咬)the farmer's wife. The wife caught a bad fever and the farmer thought the best way to treat a fever was having chicken soup. So the farmer killed the hen for the soup. The wife got worse and her friend came to visit her. The farmer had to kill the pig to feed them. But the wife didn't get better and died. Her friends came and the farmer had to kill the cow to feed all of them.

There are hundreds of funny and strange expressions in the English language. A lot of them include country names or nationalities. Take these examples:
The Dutch（丹麦人）are the target of most English expressions about nationalities. Why are there so many jokes about the Dutch in English? And what do these expressions mean? In the 17th and early 18th centuries, there were three wars between the British and the Dutch, and Dutch became a bad word. So double Dutch means something that has no meaning or is impossible to understand. A Dutch uncle is someone who gives much stronger advice than they need to. There are later expressions, which are funnier and kinder, like to go Dutch, which is nowadays a popular expression. It means to pay for your part of a bill. This often happens when a group of friends have a meal together, and each person pays for the food they ate. I'm a Dutchman is another commonly used expression. This means not being able to believe something.
An expression with a similar meaning to double Dutch is it's all Greek to me, which means I don't understand. The expression was made famous in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar although the expression is actually hundreds of years older.
If you take French leave, you are not present or leave somewhere without permission. For example, you could take French leave from a classroom or the place where you work. This expression is from the 18th century when French people left parties without saying goodbye to the host or hostess.
There are Chinese whispers, which mean confused（令人困惑的）messages. This describes the fact that a message can often change as it is passed from person to person. This expression comes from the First World War when foreigners were often confused by Chinese language.
Many people find English expressions confusing, but now that you know about some of them, you can easily have fun finding out many more funny English expressions.

Zhang Zhouchen, a sixth grader, has published two novels in English.“Most people often read to learn English, but my secret is to write ”he said. "Reading is a way of taking in. But only when you use it for writing can you master it completely. “

Zhang began writing his first novel at the end of 2014. He didn't mean to publish it at first. But a special experience made him change his mind the next year. He was chosen by his school to be a volunteer for a Hope Primary School. Every volunteer was asked to bring a gift for children and Zhang brought a football. "But I was surprised to find that there was no football field at this school, "he said. “So I had a wish to help them build a football field.

The Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is the championship game of the National Football League (联盟) in America every year. The champion of the National FootballConference (NFC) competes against the champion of the American Football Conference (AFC) to decide which is the best team in the country. Super Bowl is far more than a sporting event. The mix of America's biggest institutions (体系): sports, TV, food consumption, advertising and entertainment makes the Super Bowl an American cultural phenomenon.

The Super Bowl is usually held on the last Sunday of January or the first Sunday of February. That day is called Super Bowl Sunday. For years, it has been the most watched one-day sporting event in the US and it gradually has become an unofficial national holiday. The average viewing rate of Super Bowl reached to 44.9 percent in 2019.

Super Bowl Sunday sees more parties than any other day during the year. Young people are no exception to the party spirit. They gather to watch the game on TV. The Super Bowl is the third biggest eating day in America—behind Christmas and Thanksgiving. Fans host Super Bowl parties by filling their living rooms with junk food and drinks. Guests may arrive dressed in their team's T-shirt and carrying beer to share.

Knowing that the Super Bowl has the attention of millions of Americans, companies pay big money for game-time advertising. In 2019, the advertising cost set a record — $5.3 million for 30 seconds. The Super Bowl has developed to a T V selling season sandwiched between after-Christmas sales and Valentine's Day.

Another tradition of the Super Bowl is the Halftime Show, which presents at the halftime break between the second and third quarters. The Super Bowl Halftime Show is the most-watched musical event of the year. So it is also called the Americans' Spring Festival Gala. Non-football fans tune (调台) into the Super Bowl for the most famous musicians' performances during halftime. As the top performers, Maroon 5, Travis Scott and Big Boi gave impressive live show for the audience in the Super Bowl Halftime Show 2019. The show represents a link between American football and pop culture and helps broaden the television audience and nationwide interest.

Americans view the Super Bowl as a National Day of revelry (狂欢). Although people may watch it for different reasons, there is one thing for sure they can find their own pleasure in it.
