When the Spring Festival arrives on February 7，the rat will start the 12-year animal cycle.Yes，it is the Year of the Rat.

In your English vocabulary，the words rat and mouse may mean the same and be interchangeable.But in fact，it is not the case.Mice and rats can be summed_up nicely with two English phrases：“as quiet as a mouse，”and “a dirty rat.”

Rats are considered dirty because they are often found in sewers(下水道)and other unclean places.They are also responsible for carrying the Black Plague(瘟疫)disease that wiped out much of Europe's population in the 15th century.

Having a rat in your house is bad news.They smell terrible and usually make a lot of noise. Calling someone a “rat” in English means they are not to be trusted and are suspicious.Saying “Rats！” is also a way to show one's annoyance.Charlie Brown in the Snoopy comic strips often says this.

Rats appear as mean and evil in some books and novels.However，a recent movie，Rata-touille，in which a rat plays a creative chef，has helped give rats a better image.

Mice，on the other hand，are seen as quiet and cute.They are smaller than rats and often kept as pets.

Walt Disney's famous character Mickey Mouse helped give them a lovable image among children.Jerry，from the Tom and Jerry，cartoons，represents mice as playful creatures that like to play tricks on their friends.

56The underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”． A．added B．described C．corrected D．represented

57When “rat” is used in oral English，it can refer to ______. A．someone who is troublesome B．someone playing tricks on friends C．someone who is not reliable D．someone who is lovable

58The main idea of the passage is that ______. A．it is the Year of the Rat this year

B．the words rat and mouse may mean the same and are interchangeable C．how to tell if it's a rat or a mouse

D．some books and novels have helped give rats a better image

Language is a major problem for the European Union(EU)．The agreement or treaty(条约)which created the organization that eventually became the EU，the Treaty of Rome，stated that each country's language must be treated equally.The original six countries had only three languages between them：French，German and Dutch/Flemish.However，there are now 15 countries in the EU，with a total of 12 languages.EU documents must be translated into all these languages，and at official meetings，the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.

All this translating is very expensive and time-consuming(费时的)．It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches，and nearly half of the EU's administrative(管理方面的)costs are spent on this task.In the near future it is probable that several more countries，most of them having their own languages，will join the EU，thus making the situation even worse.

The problem is not just cost：there are practical difficulties as well.With 12 languages，there are 132 possible “translation situations” that might be needed.It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from(for example)Danish into Greek，or Dutch into Portuguese，at a high professional standard.

In practice，the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts
