One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn，they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to let the mice inside the hole come out．A while later they indeed saw mice running out，one after another．Then，everyone thought that all the mice had escaped．But just as they began to clean up，they saw two mice squeezing out at the mouth of the hole．With some efforts，the mice finally got out．However，it was strange that after they came out of the hole，they did not run away immediately．Instead，one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole．It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other．

Everyone was puzzled，so they stepped nearer to take a look．They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything，and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape．After seeing what happened，everyone was speechless and lost in thought．During the meal time，the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice．

One serious American official said："I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard．"The others thought for a while and said："That was why!"A smart French said："I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife．"Again the others thought for a while，and all felt it made sense．A Japanese said："I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son．"Once again the others thought for a while，and felt this was more reasonable．So they expressed agreement another time．

At that moment，one Chinese asked："Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship？"Suddenly，the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless．The American official，the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame，and did not dare to answer．

In fact，the true love is not built on friendship，loyalty or blood relationship．Instead，it is based on no relationship．

1.Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because　　 ．

A. one was biting the other

B. the mouth of the hole was too small

C. one was trying to help the blind one

D. they were not afraid of smoke

A. They did not dare to answer．

D. They did not express themselves much better．

4.It is clear that　　 ．

A. all the mice came out of the hole easily

B. different people understood the relationship differently

Here are some English learning tips to help you improve your English．

Ask yourself weekly：What do I want to learn this week？

Asking yourself this question every week will help you think about what is most important to you．If you make a plan for each week，you will be surprised to notice how much you have improved your English by the end of the week!This feeling of success will encourage you to learn even more English．

Quickly review before going to bed．

Research has shown that our brains process information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep．By going over important knowledge before you go to sleep，your brain will work on this information while you sleep!

Speak English aloud．

Understanding grammar rules does not mean you can speak English well．You need to practice speaking aloud．Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises that you are doing will help connect the muscles of your face to the information in your head and improve your pronunciation．

Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week．

If you decide that you are going to work hard and listen for two hours，maybe you will not do extra listening exercises soon．But if you listen five to ten minutes at least four times a week，you will find it's easy to develop the habit of listening to English．

Look for situations to practice your English．

Learning English in a classroom is important，but using English in real situations will improve your English skills greatly．You can create new situations by using the Internet to listen to news，exchange emails in English with email friends，etc．

A few years ago, my husband and I were on an island for a weekend with our 3- and 4-year-old daughters. As we went back and thought about what to do next, our girls jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do. “We want to go to the butterfly museum, ” said Ariela and Eliana.

As soon as we walked into the main area of the museum, we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies, all flapping (拍打) their colourful wings.

My girls were jumping up and down and I knew we had made the right decision to come to the museum. They were having so much fun. I turned to our museum tour guide because I was curious and asked, “How long do butterflies live? ” She said, “About ten days. ” “What can butterflies do in ten days? ” I asked. The guide stopped, looked at me and said, “They make the world a more beautiful place. ” “Wow, ” I said, “I never thought about butterflies like that. Thank you. ”

After we said goodbye, I couldn’t stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something to offer the world with the time we have. When we focus our gifts on taking care of each other every day, we can make a difference.

Appreciate(感激) the influence you can have on your family, friends, co-workers and neighbours. Like a butterfly, you have your own way of making the world a little better for everyone.

1.How many members are there in the writer’s family?
