  One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷仓), 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(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 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 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.

      Thousands of teenagers will be able to move to a new wave of “studio schools” at the age of 14 to improve their chances of finding a job in UK. Twelve new-style schools are open to act as a bridge to the workplace and cut the number of NEETs.
Under plans, schools will operate longer days and work outside standard school terms.
      Each teenager will be expected to spend between four hours and two days a week on work placements with business related to the school and a personal coach will be sent to the teenagers to act as a school “line manager”.
       The reforms (改革) are put forward because of the fears that too many teenagers are finishing full-time education at present but they are short of the skills needed to succeed in the workplace. According to a recent report, more than two thirds of employers (雇主) believe school and college leavers have less important employability skills, while 55% say they are unable to manage their time or daily routine. And the number of NEETs who are not in education has hit a record high, with almost one-in-five young people being left without a job or a training place.
      The Department for Education will tell the public the building of 12 studio schools – providing for around 3,600 teenagers – in areas such as Liverpool, Stevenage, Stock-on-Trent and Fulham, west London. Each one will be connected to the local employers. Under plans, teenagers will be able to move out of ordinary schools to attend them between the ages of 14 and 19.
    The government said all subjects would be taught “through projects, often prepared with employers” – with rules such as science being connected directly to local engineering companies or hospitals. Schools will operate a longer day to give teenagers a better understanding of the needs of the workplace. Along with their studies, students will carry out work placements for four hours a week, rising to two days a week of paid work for those aged 16 to 19. They will also get the chance to take professional qualifications (专业资历) connected directly to the needs of local employers.

Netherlands, a country located in northwestern Europe, is also known as Holland. "Netherlands" means low- lying country. The name Holland was first given to one of the old parts, and is still used for two of its 12 provinces. The capital city is Amsterdam. The country is low- lying with large lakes and many rivers. The area that is not more than 3 feet above sea level covers more than half of the country. Along the coast, land was reclaimed(改造) from the sea. In some other areas, especially alongside many rivers, people turn the lakes into land. Wind power is widely used to produce electricity. 

After World War Ⅱ, people were encouraged to move to other countries by the government. At that time, about 500, 000 people moved out of the country, but it is now still one of the world's most crowded countries. Although the population as a whole is "graying" rapidly, with a large number of people aged over65, Amsterdam has always been one of the liveliest centres of international youth culture. Here, perhaps more than anywhere else in the country, different ways of life are accepted because of the Dutch tradition. 

In history, Holland was a country of sailing and trade because of its advantageous location. To the north and west is the North Sea, to the east is Germany and to the south is Belgium. The climate(气候) of the Netherlands is gentle, with warm winters, cool summers with west winds, and rainfall in every season. 

Natural environment is very well protected. Sea birds fly in large numbers and sea animals live in peace. The most interesting animals are beavers which cut trees with their shining teeth and use the branches to keep their homes safe in the river. 

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

 Rudolph plays football for Florida State University. When he was visiting a middle school in Florida one Tuesday, he noticed sixth-grader Leo eating his lunch alone. Rudolph took a couple pieces of pizza and joined Leo at his table.

 Leo has autism, a condition that can make it hard to communicate with other people. His mother always worries about him. Two days later, she saw a picture of Rudolph and Leo eating together and it made her so happy that she cried. Then, she shared the picture on the Internet, along with a message about how thankful she was. The story became popular very quickly.

"We just had a great conversation. He started off telling me his name is Leo, telling me how much he loves Florida State. We went from there," said Rudolph. "It was really easy. He had a nice smile on his face. Just a really warm person."

 Leo's mother said that middle school can be hard, and she worries about how other kids will treat her son. "Sometimes I'm thankful for his autism. That may sound like a terrible thing to say, but in some ways I think—I hope— it protects him." she said.

"He doesn't seem to notice when people look at him when he flaps(拍打) his hands," she said. "He doesn't seem to notice that he doesn't get invited to birthday parties. And he doesn't seem to mind if he eats lunch alone."

 The mother said the photo of Rudolph and Leo's lunch date helped teach people about autism. "The picture speaks more than a thousand words. You can see how far away the rest of the students are, but you can see how engaged Rudolph is with Leo," she added.

"I just wanted to go say hi to the kid, because I saw him eating alone. I didn't even know anybody took a photo of it." Rudolph said he was glad that the story was helping others.

 Leo is excited that Rudolph signed his lunch box, and is enjoying all of the attention. "It's been awesome. Everyone was so proud of me," Leo said.
