Reading comprehension.
The United States is full of motor cars. There are still many families without cars, but some have two or even more. However, cars are used not for excitement. They are a necessary part of life.
Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into city in order to get supplies.
Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school. So one mother drives on Monday, taking her own children and the neighbour's children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesday, another on Wednesday and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.
More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and to use less fuel. Parking is a great problem and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.

There are many idioms（习语）in English that are about animals．Today let's chat a little about some of the idioms about dogs that make English language fun and colorful．
We love dogs；they are our best friends．When you first started to learn English，your teacher might teach you a number of phrases about dogs，such as：“you are a lucky dog，” “I'm dog tired，” “every dog has its day，” or “our team was the underdog but won the first place at last．”
When I first got into high school。my English teacher used the idiom “dog-ear”，which interested me very much．This word can be used as a noun，a verb，and an adjective as well．As a noun，it means a turned-down（折叠的）corner of a page as a bookmark（书签）．As a verb，it means someone makes a bookmark by turning down the corner of a page in the book．And，as an adjective，the word describes an old book with many broken pages．Examples：
John made a dog-ear（noun）of the page he was reading before closing the book．
Jane was reading a book；when the telephone rang，she dg-eared（verb）the page before answering the phone．
In the old room，the children found some dog-eared（adjective）books left there for more than 30 years．
The idiom “dog-ear” gives a lively image of a page being turned down like a curled（卷起来的）dog ear，but some dogs don't have curled ears；rather，they have pointed（竖起来的）ears．
1．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．Idioms about colors． B．Idioms about history．
C．Idioms about animals． D．Idioms about dogs．
2．How many idioms about dogs are mentioned（提及）in this passage?
A．3． B．4． C．5． D．6．
3．Which of the following statements is NOT true about the meaning of the idiom “dog ear”?
A．It means a turned-down corner of a page as a bookmark．
B．It means someone makes a bookmark by turning down the corner of a page in the book．
C．It means an old book with many broken pages．
D．It means something is short and small like a dog's ear．
