When Chinese people talk about the mouse,they are likely to see it as greedy and dishonest.It mainly comes from a Chinese folk story about the cat and the mouse.
One day, the mouse and the cat made an appointment to attend a competition held by the Jade Emperor. It would decide the zodiac animals. However, the mouse did not wake the cat up and at last won by riding on the ox's back. So the mouse ranked first on the 12 Chinese zodiac signs, and because of that, people think the mouse betrayed his friend.
Probably not! Human culture is funny. There are always different ways to look at the same thing.
In another folk story, people treated the mouse as a great hero. It's said that the mouse created the world by taking a bite of heaven, bringing light to humans. It helped people survive by scaling firewood and gain seeds (种子).As a result, many people respect the mouse by offering food and praying for success.
Since mice live together in societies and have many babies with a high survival rate,they also represent cooperation(合作)and reproduction.With these qualities,it's believed that people born he Year of the Mouse are smart and good at making money.

As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the city. However, I soon discovered that my life has its disadvantages,too.
One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. ① 空气是如此的脏以至于我害怕出去. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bike, but that can be dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city. And there are wonderful jobs and more chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally,if you like shopping, the kind of goods is very surprising. ② What's more , there are many shops that are not far from your home .

Trees are useful to man in three important ways.
The first important way is that they provide man with wood and other products.Trees provide not only man with food,but also many animals with food.Without trees,many animals could not live on earth.It's not easy for man to live on earth,either.
The second important way is that trees give us shade(阴凉).On a hot summer day,people are eager(渴望)to have a rest under the tree after they have a long walk.You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and animals.
The third important way is that trees help to prevent droughts and floods(防止干旱和洪水).However,in many parts of the world,man hasn't realized the third way.They cut trees down in large numbers.In the end theyfind that they have lost the best friends they had.
