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(挤)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 didnt 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(困惑), so they stepped near to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and couldnt 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 mice was that of king and guard(卫兵).” The other thought for a while and said, “That is why!”A smart Frenchman 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(表达) 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 stayed speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame(羞愧), and did not dare to answer.In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty(忠诚) 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 otherB . the mouth of the hole was too smallC . they were not afraid of smokeD . one was trying to help the blind one（2）Why did the officials lower their heads in shame according to the passage?A . They didnt dare to answer.B . They didnt realize the importance of protecting animals.C . They felt sorry they had driven a poor blind mouse away.D . They didnt express themselves much better.（3）It is clear that _.A . all the mice came out of the hole easilyB . each of the people understood the relationship differentlyC . the people wanted to kill the mice with smokeD . the people knew one of the mice was blind at first（4）The words “it made sense” probably mean _A . it was correctB . it was strangeC . it was funnyD . was sweety（5）The best title for the passage is _.A . Two Lovely MiceB . Help Produces LoveC . Love Is AllD . Friends in Need3. （10分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。Almost everyone has dropped some food on the floor and still wanted to eat it. If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, “5-second rule!” This socalled rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true?Professor Anthony Hilton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students. They found that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria(细菌) than if it sits there for longer.For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of foodsbread, pasta, cookies and candyto see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor. They allowed the food to lie on the different types of flooringcarpet(地毯), laminate (复合地板) and tile(瓷砖) for three seconds to 30 seconds.Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect. Bacteria are least likely to transfer(转移) from carpet, while they are most likely to transfer laminate or tiled surface after more than five seconds.The study also found that the wetter the food, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria. Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eating food dropped on the floor still carries an infection(感染) risk. “It very much depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time.” Hilton told Forbes.（1）What is the “5-second rule mean?A .

In France（3）Hiltons test wanted to find out_.A . if the “5-second rule” is trueB . the students favorite foodC . which food is easily droppedD . if different types of floor have different bacteria（4）According to the test, we learn the following EXCEPT _.A . the dropped food had more bacteria if it sat on the floor for longer.B . the dropped food on the carpet had the least bacteria.C . bacteria was impossible to transfer from laminate or tiled surfaces.D . the wetter food was likely to pick up bacteria.（5）According to the article, the infection risk of the dropped does NOT depend on _.A . how long the food sits on the floorB . what the dropped food isC . what the bacteria areD . what the weather is like that day4. （10分） One day, a teacher was giving a speech to his students. He held up a glass of water and asked the class, How heavy do you think this glass of water is?The students answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救护车). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed (使恢复) and are able to carry on.So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down.
