One day in Israel government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷仓). While working, they found a (n) 1 hole in a corner, so they used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to 2 . A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another.
Then, everyone thought that all the mice had 3 . But just as they were just about to start to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing out at the _4 of the hole. After some endeavor, the mice finally got out. But _5 , they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the exit of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the _6 of the other. Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped_7_to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was 8 and could not see anything, and the other one was trying to allow the blind mouse to 9 _on his tail so he could pull the blind one with him to escape.
After witnessing what happened, everyone was 10 and lost in thought. During meal time, the group of people sat down and started to chat about what had happened to the two mice. One serious Rome official said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of emperor and 11 .” The others thought for a while and said, “That was why !”A smart Israeli said, “I think their relationship was husband and wife.” The others felt it made sense, so they 12 . A Korean, who was accustomed to the firm tradition of loyalty to _13_ , said, “I think the relationship between them was that of mother and son.” Once again the others felt this was more reasonable,
At that moment, one Samaritan who sat behind them resting his chin in his palms, 14 looked at other people, and asked, “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?” Suddenly, the atmosphere froze. The group 15 at the Samaritan and remained silent. In fact, the true love is not established on benefit, friendship and loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.

Whether you admit or not, music is rooted in our daily life, weaving its beauty and emotion through our thoughts, activities and memories. So if you’re interested in music theory, music appreciation, Beethoven, Mozart, artists and performers, we hope you’ll spend some time here and learn from those music articles of note for all ages and tastes.

When most of us think about the history of music, we think of the history of rock music, we assume that the history is simple because the music is simple. In fact, neither is the case, The history of music, whether you’re talking about classical music, rock music, jazz music, or any other kind, is never simple.

The sun is shining when I get on No. 151 bus. We passengers sit jammed together in heavy clothes. No one speaks. That’s one of the unwritten rules of Chicago commuting. Although we see the same faces every day, we prefer to hide behind our newspapers. The phenomenon is striking: people who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their distance.
As the bus approaches the Magnificent Mile, a voice suddenly rings out: “Attention! Attention!” Papers rattle (发出细小声). Necks crane (伸长). “This is your driver speaking.”
We look at the back of the driver’s head. His voice has authority.
“All of you put your papers down.”
The papers come down, an inch at a time. The driver waits. The papers are folded and placed on our laps.
“Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go ahead.”
Amazingly, we all do it. Still, no one smiles.
I face an older woman, her head wrapped tightly in a red scarf. I see her nearly every day. Our eyes meet. We wait, unblinking, for the next order from the driver.
“Now, repeat after me…” It is a command, delivered in the tones of a drill sergeant (操练军士). “Good morning, neighbor!”
Our voices are weak and timid. For many of us, these are the first words we have spoken today. But we say them at the same time, like schoolchildren, to the strangers beside us.
We smile and can’t help it. We have said it; the barrier has been broken. Good morning, neighbor. It is not so hard after all. Some of us repeat it. Others shake hands. Many laugh.
The bus driver says nothing more. He doesn’t need to. Not a single newspaper goes back up. I hear laughter, a warm sound I have never heard before on bus No. 151. This day is starting off better than most.
小题1:On hearing the sudden utterance of “Attention!”, the passengers ___________.| A．stopped reading and put down their newspapers immediately | | B．sat still without response | | C．looked up from the newspapers to see who was speaking | | D．were frightened |
小题2:The underlined word “commuting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ___________.| A．long-distance ride | | B．daily traveling between home and work | | C．communication technology | | D．behavior patterns |
小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?| A．The passengers on the crowded bus were so absorbed in reading their newspapers that no one spoke. | | B．When the bus driver said nothing more, the passengers picked up and read their newspapers again. | | C．The passengers didn’t follow the driver’s instruction at first. | | D．The passengers were physically close together but mentally they kept each other at a terrible distance. |
小题4:What would be the best title for the text?| A．The Warmth of Communication | | B．The Exchange of Information | | C．The Power of Observation | | D．The Attitude to Loneliness |
