（C）
A bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful，too. It reminds us of an interesting phrase（短语）， i.e. “to let the cat out of the bag”. 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，most of the time they would just throw the chickens in cloth bags. But cats were cheaper than chickens，so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bags instead of chickens. One day，a woman asked a man for a chicken. The man gave her a cloth bag in which there was a cat. The woman begged to see the chicken. When the man opened the cloth bag， a big black cat ran out. Not a chicken! The man’s secret was out and everyone knew it.
Now when someone lets out（泄漏） a secret，he “lets the cat out of the bag”. And that is the story where the interesting phrase comes from.
