One day,when some government officials were rebuilding a barn (谷倉) ，they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to 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 (擠) 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 (咬) the tail of the other.

  Everyone was puzzled,so they stepped nearer to take a look. They found out that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything,and the other was trying to make the blind mouse bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.

  Seeing what was happening,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 the two mice.

  One serious American official said, "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of a king and his guard."The others thought for a while and said, "That was why!"

  A smart Frenchman said , " I think the relationship between those two mice was that of a husband and his 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 a mother and her 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 at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official,the Frenchman 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. they were not afraid of smoke

   D. one was trying to help the other

   A. They did not dare to answer.

   B. They had mistaken the relationship of the mice.

   C. They regretted driving the poor blind mouse away.

   D. They did not express themselves well.

 (   ) 3. It is clear that         .

   A. all the mice came out of the hole easily

   B. the people understood the relationship of the mice differently

   C. the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke

   D. the people knew one of the mice was blind at the first sight

(   ) 4. "It made sense" probably means         .

   A. it was correct   B. it was strange

   C. it was funny   D. it was sweet

 A map is a picture of a place. There can be many different maps of the same place. A map cannot show everything about a place. For a clear map,it must show a number of things. Here,you will get to make a map which shows the things that make your community (社區(qū)) a special place to live in.

  Before you start drawing,make a list of the places and things in your community that you want to include on your map. Think about places you often have to go to,places where your relatives and friends live and which are your favorite. How do you get there? What roads or paths do you take? What kind of things do you see along the way? As you know,some maps are made to show locations and other maps show us how to get there. They can also show the distances.

  Now,let's create a map of your community. On a large piece of paper,draw pictures of the places or the things you decide to include on your map. Next,fill in the shapes of the places and roads in light colors. Using darker colors,fill in the areas between the features and roads on your map to make it more interesting to look at. Every area of your map should be filled in with colors. When your map is finished,show it to your friends or family members to see what they think of it.

In the text, you'll learn to make a (1)      of your community.

  You can see kangaroos everywhere in Australia. They appear on TV,in books and in the shops. The government even plans to put them on passports (護(hù)照) .Although it's the best loved animal in Australia,millions of kangaroos are killed every year. Why,people ask,do the Australians kill them? Quite simply,there are too many of them.

  The number of kangaroos in Australia is believed to be 20〜25 million. It is as much as 7 million more than the number of people living in the country.

  There are several reasons for the growth in the kangaroo numbers. There is plenty of water in the places where kangaroos live and many of the dingoes―dogs that like to kill and eat kangaroos,are not there any more.

  Kangaroos also produce (繁殖) the young all the year round. When a female kangaroo gives birth (生育) ，she gets pregnant again immediately (馬上) .

  The large number of kangaroos means some kangaroos don't get food to eat. They are so hungry that they break into farms and fight against other animals for food.

  To solve the problem,the Australian government allows a certain number of kangaroos to be killed each year.

  Many people don't think that it's right to kill kangaroos,but the government thinks that it is only helping the farmers.

  Australia sells 5 million kilos of kangaroo meat every year―it is used to make hamburgers and meat for dogs.

   A. Why there are so many kangaroos in Australia.

   B. Why people in Australia kill a certain number of kangaroos every year.

   D. Why kangaroos need food.

(   ) 2. The reason for the killing of kangaroos is that         .

   A. people don't like them   B. farmers are hungry

   C. they kill farmers   D. there are too many of them

(   ) 3. From the passage we learn that         .

   A. there are more people in Australia than there are kangaroos

   B. all people like the idea of killing kangaroos

   C. only people eat kangaroo meat

   D. dingoes lived in the same place as the kangaroos before

(   ) 4. The writer talked about        reasons why there are too many kangaroos in Australia.

   A. 2   B. 3   C. 4   D. 5
