Passage One

One day when some workers were rebuilding a house， they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to make the mice inside the hole come out. A while later they saw mice running out， one after another， but they saw two mice didn’t run away immediately. It seemed that one was trying to bite （咬） the tail of the other.

Everyone was puzzled， so they came nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the two mice was blind， and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite his tail in order to pull the blind one with him to run away.

During the meal time， they started to talk about the two mice. One serious American said， “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.”

A smart Frenchman said， “I think the relationship between them was that of husband and wife.”

A Japanese said， “I think the relationship between them was that of mother and son.”

At that moment， one Chinese asked， “Why did those two mice have a certain relationship？”

Suddenly， they looked back at the Chinese. The American， the Frenchman and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame， and didn’t answer.

In fact， the great love is not built on friendship or blood relationship. Instead， it is based on no relationship.

Passage Two

Because earthquakes happen without warning， it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens， prepare some supplies for your home， workplace， and car.

1. Water

A person needs at least 1/2 gallon of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container （容器） and do not open it until you need to use it. Also， do check the “use by” date.

It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of nonperishable （不易腐爛的） food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food， powdered milk， dried fruits， non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.

3. Flashlights （手電筒） and spare batteries

Keep a flashlight beside your bed， at your place of work， and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks （泄漏）.

Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order， so radios will be your best source of information.
