One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn,they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to let the mice inside the hole come out.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 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 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.

Look around and you’ll see people busy on their smartphones. Smartphones do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?

According to a study, half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average(平均) of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness(近視) since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.

Staring(盯) at smartphones for long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink(自動眨眼) a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes.

Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils(瞳孔) become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma(青光眼).

While you’re probably not going to stop using to your smartphone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes.

Hold your phone at least 30 centimetres away from your eyes when using it.

Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose.

Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.

1.The last sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means .

A. The number of shortsighted people makes up 35% of the population in the UK

B. The number of smartphone users has increased since 1997

C. Shortsightedness is common among people around the world

D. More British people have got shortsightedness since 1997

2.Using smartphones in dark rooms may lead to .

A. A.Dry eyes B. The danger of glaucoma

C. Sleeping problems D. A drop in the amount of tears

3.We can infer from the passage that .

A. The blinking of eyes is a kind of self-protection

B. Smartphones have become a necessary item nowadays

C. People should spend an hour a day on smartphones

D. Users couldn’t fall asleep without smartphones

4.According to the auther, smartphone users should .

A. Blink their eyes more times to avoid glaucoma

B. Look at something at least 30 centimeters from you

C. Avoid always staring at the screens without a break

D. Do some exercise every day to kill the discomfort
