The cat ________ a cap.
A.look the same
B.are like
C.looks like
D.like
Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you “play cat and mouse” with someone, it means that you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a girl might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.
Americans might say that something is “the cat’s miaow” or “the cat’s pajamas(睡衣)” to describe something that is the best or finest. “A copycat” is someone who acts just like someone else or copies another person’s work. “A fat cat” is a person with a lot of money.
If you tell about something that is supposed to be a secret, we say you “let the cat out of the bag”. If you are not able to speak or answer a question, someone might ask you if “the cat has got your tongue(舌头)”
Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? “When the cat’s away, the mice will play” means people sometimes act badly when there is no supervision (监管).
You may have heard the expression “curiosity killed the cat”. This means caring too much about things that are not your business might cause problems.
If you have ever had cats as pets, you know it is difficult to train them or to get them to do something. Cats are not like Sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or impossible job is like “herding (放牧) cats “

One day a big cat was going into a forest to find something to eat. On his way he met his friend, the old owl(猫头鹰). The owl greeted him, “Good morning, my dear friend. Where are you going?” “I’m going to the forest to look for some birds to eat.” The cat answered. “But be careful not to catch any of my children.” The owl said to the cat. “OK,” the cat said. “But what do your children look like?” “Oh,” the owl said, “they are the most beautiful birds in the forest.”
“All right, I know that.” The cat said and walked on to the forest.
The cat entered the forest and saw many beautiful birds here and there. He remembered what the owl had told him and went away. Then after a long time, he saw some ugly birds in a nest. He sat down and ate them one by one. When the owl came back to her nest, she found it was empty.
