A.where Jan Fields graduated
B.where writing material is on sale
C.where Jan Fields cooperates with other writers
D.where children are taught writing by Jan Fields
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“...she’s been happily instructing students here ever since.”可知,她在Institute of Children’s Literature教孩子们写作,故选D项。
B
The other day,I was thinking about the phrase “It’s a dog’s life”.According to my dictionary,this means “life is hard and unpleasant”,but that definition is surely obsolete.A dog’s life these days,at least in my house,is extremely comfortable.
This is by no means the only phrase in the English language that suggests a dog’s life is a sad one.When we become less successful than we were in the past,we “go to the dogs”;when we do something very badly,we make a “dog’s breakfast” of it;if we feel really bad,we’re “as sick as a dog”.Unattractive or unpleasant people are considered “such a dog”!
Cats do no better.They are described as humourless and cruel rulers (“While the cat’s away,the mouse will play”)or as self-satisfied (“The cat that got the cream”).They are also related to unspeakable horrors.For example,“There’s not enough room to swing a cat”.“Cat” is a short form of the cat-o’-nine-tails(九尾鞭).The phrase probably originated at sea,where unfortunate sailors were beaten in tiny spaces.Despite all the above,“the cat’s whiskers(须)” are the most desirable whiskers.
