There are many expressions with the word “dog”.
1. They take their dogs for walks, give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.
When we say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 2. A person has to work hard like a dog to be successful. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. 3. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new skills and will not change the way they do things.
Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as junkyard dogs living in places where people throw away things they do not want. Junkyard 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. 4.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. 5. But we do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
A. Dogs are loyal to people.
B. A rainstorm may cool the weather.
C. People love dogs and treat them well.
D. We could say his bark is worse than his bite.
E. But there are many difficulties on the road to success.
F. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills.
G. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.
A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really ture. Words have the power to build us up or knock us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else’ or ourselves—the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too shy to admit it, though. In fact, more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self-talk” helps us encourage ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
Often, words come out of our mouths without thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or hash (刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words have power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Words have power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and encourage others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.

A. nothing but words will hurt us B. positive words give us confidence
C. negative words may let us down D. words have a lasting effect on us
