Have you ever heard someonesay “It's raining cats and dogs”? We know it doesn't mean cats and dogs fall down from the sky．In 1 , it means it's raining heavily．Here is 2 people get the saying．
Long long ago, there were many large rats(老鼠) in a country．The rats were a big problem to the country, so people there needed 3 to help them very much．But there were many mountains in the country．It was difficult 4 a plane to land．What should they do? At last, they had a good idea-the cats came down by parachute(直升机)．
In another country, it often 5 ．And in the bad weather people sometimes got 6 and couldn't find their homes．Some even died．So they needed dogs to 7 them to find the lost people in the snow．But there were many forests(森林) in the country．The trains couldn't get there．The buses weren't 8 to get there, either．How could they get dogs? You can guess it．The dogs came down by parachute, too．

In 2005, Chen Yixun first sang the song Exaggerated (《浮夸》)．But this song had new lyrics(歌词) in 2010 by Terry Lin Zhixuan, a 47-year-old Taiwanese singer．He is famous for his nice voice．In 1996 he was invited to London and became the first Chinese to work together with the famous international band(乐队)there．Terry Lin's Exaggerated was in his album(专辑)One Take, which is a live album made in Taiwan．
Exaggerated became famous again when Terry Lin sang it again in the popular Hunan TV show I'm a Singer．Lin Zhixuan was No．1 in the fifth week and No．2 in the seventh week．He said he would sing Exaggerated if he could stay until the final competition of the first season show．
One day, a young man was taking a walk with a professor．As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path．They thought it belonged to a poor man who worked in a field nearby．The student said to the professor, “Let us play the man a joke：we will take away his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those trees and wait to see what will happen when he cannot find them．That must be very interesting．”
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never make ourselves happy at the cost of the poor．But you can put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery(发现)changes him．”
The student did so．
The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path．While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something hard．He found the coin．Surprise was seen on his face．He found the coin and looked at it again and again．He then looked around, but there was no person．He now put the money into his pocket．When he put on the other shoe, he was surprised again to find the other coin．He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and said aloud some thanksgiving words about his family．
The student was deeply moved and he said, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget．I feel now the truth of those words, which I never understood before：It is more blessed(神圣的) to give than to receive．”
