The expression "to lead a dog's life" describes a person who has an unhappy existence. Some people say we live in a "dog-eat-dog world." That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to "work like a dog." This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people "dog-tired." And the situation would be even worse if they became "sick as a dog."Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as "meaner than a junkyard dog." Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say "his bark is worse than his bite."A junkyard is not a fun place for a dog. Many dogs in the United States sleep in safe little houses near their owners' home. These doghouses provide shelter. Yet they can be cold and lonely in the winter. Husbands and wives use this doghouse term when they are angry at each other. For example, a woman might get angry at her husband for coming home late, or forgetting their wedding anniversary. She might tell him that he is "in the doghouse." She may not treat him nicely until he apologizes. However, the husband may decide that it is best to leave things alone and not create more problems. He might decide to "let sleeping dogs lie."Questions:11.I f a person says that he is living in a “dog-eat-dog world”, what does he mean?12.If a person is called mean to others, what phrase can we use to describe him?13.W hat would a husband probably do if he is “in the doghouse” according to the passage?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.In Jiading, a district of Shanghai, no fewer than 38 private museums and galleries have sprung up.Shanghai Zhuyun Art Museum has been open to the general public since September 2008.
