Long ago, there was a big cat in the house. He was strong {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he caught many mice while they were stealing food, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} all the mice were afraid of it. One day the mice had a meeting to talk about the way to deal with their common enemy. They didn't agree with each other. Some said this, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} some said that.

    At last a young mouse got up {#blank#}4{#/blank#} said that he had a good idea, "We could tie a bell around the neck of the cat. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} when he comes near, we can hear the sound of the bell {#blank#}6{#/blank#} run away."

    Everyone approved of this proposal (建议), {#blank#}7{#/blank#} an old wise mouse got up and said, "That is all very well, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} who will tie the bell to the cat?" The mice looked at each other, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} nobody spoke. Until now, they haven't decided whether it is a good idea {#blank#}10{#/blank#} not.
