A bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful, too. It gives us some interesting phrases（短语）.One is “to let the cat out of the bag" It is the same as “to tell the secret”.
There is an old interesting story about it. Long ago, when people sold things in big cloth（布）bags, a woman asked a man for a pig. The man held up his cloth bag. There seemed to be a little pig in it. The woman asked to see it. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a pig! The man's secret was out and everyone knew it. Now when someone lets out（泄漏）a secret, he "let the cat out of the bag". And that is the story where the interesting phrase came from.

Have you ever heard the saying "If you want a friend, be one"? If you want to make friends with others, you should be friendly to them first.
Here is how one new teacher made friends with the students in her class on the first day of school. As the bell rang, the teacher smiled （微笑） at each student. Then she said in a quiet voice,"Good morning. How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year. I'd like to know each of you. I am sure we will enjoy working together." Her voice was sweet（甜美的） and her look was friendly, so everyone felt happy.
She told the students her name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them some of the things she liked to do and she hoped to do with them during the year. Then she said to the boys and girls, "Now you know my name and the things I like and I want to know your names and the things you like."
