【推荐1】This year is the Year of the Tiger. Do you know anyone born in the Year of the Tiger? What’re they like? Are they brave, strong and tenacious (顽强的)? If so, they are typical “tigers”.

In Chinese culture, tigers are considered as the king of all animals. They are the symbol of power, energy, protection, generosity (慷慨). Tigers are regarded as fearless animals, so that’s why in China people often paint pictures of tigers on the walls of houses to protect themselves from danger.

▲ As tigers mostly live in Asia, they have become a cultural symbol of Eastern countries for people in the West. For example, in the book Life of Pi, Canadian writer Yann Martel chose a Bengal tiger as the partner for the Indian boy Pi on his adventure (冒险) in the Pacific Ocean.

In the West, tigers are also seen as very powerful animals. In English, if you want someone to calm down you can say to him, “Easy, tiger.” Another famous phrase is the “eye of the tiger”. People who have the “eye of the tiger” are usually confident and fierce (凶猛的).

Tigers are also one of my favorite animals. I first learned about the beauty of tigers as a child while watching animal documentaries. And my favorite toy while growing up was my toy tiger. As a young animal lover, I feel so sad that they are in danger of dying out and I want to help protect them.

1. Chinese people think pictures of tigers on the wall can make them ________.

A．happy

B．Tigers are the most dangerous animals.

C．Tigers are important not just in China, but also across Asia.

3. Why does the writer mention the phrase “eye of the tiger?”

A．To show western people also consider tigers as powerful animals.

B．To explain how we can use the word “tiger” when writing.

4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
