Ⅳ．阅读理解。
A
As we know, there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture．We can see differences when we pay attention to the way some words are used．Let's look at the words about animals and ants．
Although dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans，most expressions in Chinese about the dog，for example，“a homeless dog”，“a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”．have negative meanings．But in Western countries，people use “dog” to describe positive actions．In English，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”．However．Chinese love cats very much．But in Western culture．“cat”is often used to describe a woman who is cruel（冷的）．There are many other examples of how“cat”is used differently as well．
The rose is regarded（视为）as a symbol（象征）of love in both China and some Western countries．People think the rose stands for（代表）love，peace，courage and friendship．And the rose is the national flower of England，America and many other countries．
The words about animals and plants are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures．We can learn about many differences in different cultures by comparing how some words are used

Years ago，I lived in a building in a large city．The building next door was only a few feet away from mine．There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met，yet I could see her sitting by her window each afternoon，sewing（缝纫）and reading．
After several months had gone by，I began to notice that her window was dirty．Everything was unclear through the dirty window．I would say to myself，“Why doesn’t that woman clean．her window? It really looks terrible．”
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat，including cleaning the window．
Late in the afternoon after I finished the cleaning，I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest．What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen．Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me．I had been criticizing（批评）her dirty window，but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window．
That was quite an important lesson for me．How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart，through my own shortcomings（缺点）?
From then on，whenever I want to judge someone，I ask myself first，“Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?”Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I can see others’ world more clearly．
