根据短文内容，选择适当答案。
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 dogs, for
example, a homeless dog, a mad dog and a dog catching a mouse, have negative
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 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.
The
rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries.
People think the rose means love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose
is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.
The
words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in
different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by
comparing how some words are used.
