听力原文:
What do Relationships Matter?
One day, when some government officials were rebuilding a garage, they found a mouse hole in a corner. They used smoke to make the mice come out, one after another, but they saw that two mice didn’t run away immediately. It seemed that one was trying to bite the other’s tail. Everyone was puzzled, so they came closer to take a look. They realized that one of the two mice was blind, and the other was allowing the blind mouse to bite his tail in order to be pulled to safety.
听力原文:
During their meal, the officials started to talk about the two mice. One serious American man said, “The relationship between those two mice was king and guard.” A smart Frenchman said, “No, it was husband and wife.” A Japanese man said, “No, it was mother and son.” At that moment, a Chinese man said, “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?” Suddenly, all the officials looked back at the Chinese man with a look of shame on their faces. They realized that love is not always built on friendship or blood relations. Sometimes, it is based on nothing at all.
