He called it indoor tennis. The Americans were not interested in it at first so he sent it to his London friends and it became very popular in Britain. The game was then played across the dining room table or on the floor with the net hung between two chairs. The balls were made of cork or rubber. The bats were made of wood. A few years later a hollow(空心的) ball like the one we use today was invented. The game then quickly spread all over the world. An Englishman once made a bat covered with rubber.

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 the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running 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（无情）.The rose is a symbol（标志）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.（）36．“Every dog has its day.” means “_______”.A. Everybody in the world is lucky.B. Each person lives his own way of life.C. If one works hard, h e’s sure to succeed.D. Everybody has a time in life to be lucky.（）37．The underlined word “negative” means ________ in Chinese.A. 正面的B. 负面的C. 中性的D. 有趣的（）38．From the passage, we can infer（推断）that the word “copycat” is most likely to describe a person who__________ in western countries.A. likes following（效仿）othersB. enjoys writing booksC. is good at copying notesD. loves drawing cats（）39．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.
