Long long ago, the Jade Emperor (玉皇大帝) organized an animal race. The first 12 animals to win could get a ___in the Chinese Zodiac (十二生肖), and have a year named after them.

The cat and the mouse both______ the ox (公牛) to wake them early on the day of the race. That day, the ox ______to wake them, but without success. So the kind ox carried them on______back and started running when the race began. The mouse _____ just when the ox was going cross the last river. He knew that he could _____ beat the cat. So he pushed the ______off the ox’s back. When the ox reached the other side of the river, the mouse jumped off and ran to the finishing line, just______ the ox. The tiger came third.

So the 12-year cycle (循环) begins with the mouse. The ox comes after him. The tiger ______the ox. The rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig come after them. The cat was _______to finish the race, almost dying in the river, but she has no place in the zodiac.

A language professor was explaining to her class that French nouns are grammatically designated as male or female. “Pencil, in French, is male; House, in French, is female.”

One puzzled student raised his hand and asked, “What gender(性别) is a computer?”

The teacher did not know, and the word wasn’t in her French dictionary. So for fun she divided the class into two groups and asked them to decide whether a computer should be a male or female noun.

Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.

The men’s group decided that computers should definitely be of the female gender because:

1.No one but their creator understands their internal logic.

2.The native language which they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible(无法理解) to everyone else.

3.Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible later retrieval(检索).

4.As soon as you buy one, you’ll find yourself spending half of your salary on accessories(零配件) for it.

The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be male because:

1.In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.

2.They have a lot of data but they are still stupid.

3.They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.

4.As soon as you buy one, you’ll be aware that if you had waited a little longer, you could have a better model.
