Let $S$ be the circle in the $xy$-plane defined by the equation $x^2+y^2=4$.
$(1)$ Let $E_1, E_2$ and $F_1, F_2$ be the chords of $S$ passing through the point $P_0(1,1)$ and parallel to the $x$-axis and the $y$-axis,respectively. Let $G_1, G_2$ be the chord of $S$ passing through $P_0$ and having slope $-1$. Let the tangents to $S$ at $E_1$ and $E_2$ meet at $E_3$,the tangents to $S$ at $F_1$ and $F_2$ meet at $F_3$,and the tangents to $S$ at $G_1$ and $G_2$ meet at $G_3$. Then,the points $E_3, F_3$,and $G_3$ lie on the curve
$(A)$ $x+y=4$ $(B)$ $(x-4)^2+(y-4)^2=16$ $(C)$ $(x-4)(y-4)=4$ $(D)$ $xy=4$
$(2)$ Let $P$ be a point on the circle $S$ with both coordinates being positive. Let the tangent to $S$ at $P$ intersect the coordinate axes at the points $M$ and $N$. Then,the mid-point of the line segment $MN$ must lie on the curve
