    A bag is useful and the word "bag" is useful, too. Here is an interesting phrase, "to let the cat out of the bag". In meaning it is the same as "to tell the secret". And there is an old interesting story about it.

    Long ago, when farmers wanted to sell chickens at the market, they would usually just throw the chickens in cloth (布) bags. But cats were cheaper than chickens at that time, so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bags but not chickens. One day, a woman asked a man for a chicken. The man gave her a cloth bag in which there was a cat. ________. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a chicken! The man's secret was out and everyone knew it.

    Now when we say someone gives away a secret, we say "He lets the cat out of the bag". And that is the story where the interesting phrase came from.

(1)、The underlined word "it" in the passage refers to (指的是) _______.

A、the useful bag B、the phrase C、the cat D、the chicken
(2)、The farmers put cats but not chickens in the bags to _______ when they sold chickens.

A、tell the secret B、sell the cats C、get more money D、keep the cats quiet
(3)、Which of the following sentences is the best for the blank (空白处) in the passage?

A、The woman was angry to see a cat. B、The man put a cat in the bag.    C、The man asked her to see the chicken. D、The woman wanted to see the chicken.
(4)、The writer wrote the story to tell us _______.

A、the woman was smart B、how farmers sold their cats C、the phrase is useful D、where the phrase came from

①There are many different houses in the world. They can be different because people are different. The houses can also be different because of where they are. Houses can be made in many shapes.

②The dome house

Some people live in windy places. Big winds, like hurricanes, can blow houses down. In one place, a house was made in the shape of a dome. When a big hurricane came, it didn't blow down. However, all the other houses around it did. A dome house is made of triangle shapes. The shape of the dome house lets the wind go around it. A house with a flat wall is not as safe in a strong wind. A dome house doesn't have a roof to blow off. There is no wind in a dome house, so it is safer in a fire It is safe from termites(白蚁) , too. There is no wood for them to eat!

③A ball-shaped house

Some houses have been made in a shape like a ball. The walls, ceiling and floor are all one in a house with this shape. The wind moves around the outside of the house. Ball-shaped houses can be hung from things or float on water.

④____▲____

A house on the ground can take up a lot of space. A house in a tree doesn't use any space on the ground at all. No trees have to be chopped down to make room for these houses. And the tree housed can be built in the shape of bee nest(巢) . Such a house doesn't take very long to move to a new place. So it is helpful during the natural disasters.

⑤A walking house

Some people have made a house that can walk. It is the shape of a long hexagon(六边形). The house has six legs. It can walk over any ground. It can even walk over bumpy ground. When it walks, three legs are always on the ground. A walking house would be very good if there was a flood or a fire.

⑥Different shapes of house are so useful that different people can choose whatever they need. Which one do you prefer? Probably you can create another different shape of house one day!
