    One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and they 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 ran away. 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 ran 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 run away.
After seeing what happened, everyone was silent 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 meaningful.
    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 didn't say any words. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shyness, 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 trying to help the blind one B、one was biting the other C、the mouth of the hole was too small D、they were not afraid of smoke
(2)、Why did they lower their heads in shyness according to the passage?

A、Because they did not dare to answer. B、Because they regretted(后悔)driving a poor blind mouse away. C、Because they had mistaken the relationship of the mice. D、Because they did not express themselves much better.
(3)、It is clear that_______.

A、all the mice came out of the hole easily B、each of the people understood the relationship 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)、The best title for the passage is_______.

A、Two lovely mice B、Help produces love C、Love is all D、Friends in need

Joel Sartore is a writer, teacher, and photographer. His words and beautiful images show his love of photography and of the natural world.

Question 1: How did you become a National Geographic photographer?

My first job was for a newspaper. After a few years there, I met a National Geographic photographer. He liked my photos and said I should send some to the magazine. So I did. That led to a one-day job. And that led to a nine-day job, and so on.

Question 2:    ▲    

To get into National Geographic, you have to give them something they don't have. It's not enough just to be a great photographer. You also have to be a scientist, for example, or be able to dive under sea ice, or spend maybe several days in a tree.

Question 3: Is it hard to get a job as a photographer today?

It's now harder to work for magazines. Technology makes it easy to take good pictures, which means there are more photos and photographers. Also, the Web is filled with photos from all around the world that are free, or cost very little. These photos are often good enough to be put in books and magazines. What the magazines need to do these days is to pay for these photos.

Question 4: I want to be a photographer. Do you have any advice for me?

Advice? Well, work hard. Be passionate(热情的) about every project you work on. Take lots of pictures in different situations. Look at others' photos thoughtfully and learn from them. And be curious about everything. There's something to photograph everywhere.

Friends are very important in everyone's life because friends are always there when we need them. It's great to have many friends and I can't think about my life without my friends.

My best friend is Lisa. When I first met her, I was five. She is one year older than me. Now she is in the same class with me. In the seventh grade, she is tall and quite thin. She has long curly blonde hair and blue eyes. I am not so beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could be as beautiful as she is.

My name is Molly. I am tall enough but little fat. Lisa and I like doing a lot of things together and talking about different things. She always helps me with my math and I sometimes help her with her English and history. I have to do a report(报告) on science, but I didn't understand what the teacher said. The next day I read it in front of the class, but the teacher told me that my report was wrong and all my classmates laughed at me. I felt very bad about myself. Lisa was the only one who didn't laugh at me. She tried to be nicer than anybody else and make me happy.

I am a shy person and sometimes I feel that people don't understand me. Lisa is friendly and everybody loves her. She is also smart and she can deal with (解决) everything. I am happy to have a friend like her.

Helen Keller was a writer, lecturer, and great educator. She was born in 1880. She lost her sight and hearing at the age of nineteen months because of an illness now believed to be scarlet fever (猩红热). Before her illness, Helen was a wise and happy girl. After she lost her ability of seeing and hearing, she became difficult and wild. She often shouted and cried. In 1887, a young teacher named Anne Sullivan began to help Helen.

Through Sullivan's careful instruction, the little girl learnt to understand and communicate with the world around her. She  ▲  Sullivan to read and write in braille (盲文). She could understand only by touch. As Helen grew older, she made good progress and learnt to read more. She also learnt to write and even speak. When Helen studied in the university, Anne sat beside her. She listened to the professors' words and spelt them on Helen's hands. 

 After Helen finished university, she visited a lot of countries. She spoke about her life. She was famous for her courage and hard work. She tried her best to help other people who were blind or deaf. Her first book The Story of My Lifewas printed in many languages. And her other four books were published later on.

We are healthy. We can know and think what's going on around us. While Helen was blind and deaf, she never let her blindness and deafness prevent (阻止) her from achieving success. And this gives me hope for life.
