    You may hear someone say, "It's raining cats and dogs."We know it means it's raining hard. Here is how it comes.
    There are many large rats in a country. People need cats. But there are many mountains in the country. It's hard for a plane to land (着陆）． So the cats come down by parachute（降落伞）．
    In another country, the people need dogs to find people in the snow. Where can they get the dogs? You can guess. The dogs also come down by parachute.
    These cats and dogs are helping the people. And the people often say it rains cats and dogs.

       American schools begin in September after a long summer holiday. There're two terms in a school year. The first term is from September to January, and the second term is from February to June. Most American children begin to go to school when they're five years old. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school.
      High school students take only five or six subjects each term. They usually go to the same classes every day, and they have homework for every class. After class, they do a lot of interesting things.
     After high school, many students go to college(大学). They usually have to pay a lot of money. So, many college students work after class to get money for their studies.

Few families in the United States do not have either a radio or a television set. Both of them have become a necessary part of our daily lives, keeping us filled with the news of the day, teaching us in many fields of interest, and making us happy with songs, dances and other performances.

Marconi, the Italian inventor, gave us the radio. He probably didn't know how much his great invention would have done for the world in the years to come. Radio had perhaps done as much as any other communication tool. Things of the world can be reported to people everywhere a few seconds after they happened. Travellers in out-of-the-way places, ships at sea, even astronauts around the earth are able to keep in touch with each other by radio.

Television is another important invention. It lets us see as well as hear the actor. Since its

appearance, TV has done a great deal in the daily lives of people everywhere. Many programmes are now televised in colour.

Perhaps the most modern invention is the "Telstar", a"star"moving around the earth. It makes it possible for the people all over the world to be closer than ever before. Now a family in Chicago can watch a motor car race in Italy on TV, a table tennis competition in Beijing or a volleyball match in Japan as these events are actually happening!
