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 at once. Instead, one chased 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 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.（1）“it made sense” probably means _.A . it was strangeB . it was correctC . it was sweetD . it was funny（2）Why did they lower their heads in shame according to the passage？A .

The family name comes last. For example, my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name. My parents gave me both of my other names.People dont use their middle names very much. So John Henry Brown is usually called “John Brown”. People never use Mr., Mrs. or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr. Brown; but you shouldnt say Mr. John. They use Mr., Mrs. or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.It is different from Chinese names. In China, the first name is the family name, and the last name is the given name. For example, a man called Zhou Jian puts his family name Zhou first.（1）Most English people have _.A . a first name and the last nameB . a first name and the family nameC . a middle name and the family nameD . a first name, a middle name and the family name（2）Green is the _ for the boy called Jim Allan Green.A . first nameB . family nameC . given nameD . middle name（3）“John Henry Brown”is usually called _.A .
