In meaning it is the same as "to tell the secret". And there is an old interesting story about it.Long ago, when farmers wanted to sell chickens at the market, they would usually just throw the chickens in cloth (布) bags. But cats were cheaper than chickens at that time, so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bags but not chickens. One day, a woman asked a man for a chicken. The man gave her a cloth bag in which there was a cat. _. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a chicken! The mans secret was out and everyone knew it.Now when we say someone gives away a secret, we say "He lets the cat out of the bag". And that is the story where the interesting phrase came from.（1）The underlined word "it" in the passage refers to (指的是) _.A . the useful bagB . the phraseC . the catD . the chicken（2）The farmers put cats but not chickens in the bags to _ when they sold chickens.A . tell the secretB . sell the catsC . get more moneyD . keep the cats quiet（3）Which of the following sentences is the best for the blank (空白处) in the passage?A .

Lets take it away when he is asleep, shall we?""No, no." said the woman, "He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. If he cant find it, hell telephone the police. "They thought for a few minutes. Then the woman had an idea, "We have forgetful grass. Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away. "The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door open, and the man had left with the bag.
