  BEIJING:With the Chinese New Year holidays just a few days away, hotel prices in the country's only tropical(热带的)island province have touched a record high.

  The average price for a single night at five-star hotels in south China's Hainan Province has reached 10,000 yuan($1,400)during the seven-day Spring Festival break, which kicks off Saturday.

  The cheapest room at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Sanya is going to 18,400 yuan, while the most expensive is 34, 500 yuan per night.Prices for a room at the Hilton Sanya Resort range from 11,138 yuan to 16,048 yuan, according to ctrip.com, a leading travel website.

  The prices almost equal the average annual(一年的)income for Chinese city dwellers(城市居民)in 2009, which stood at 18,858 yuan per person, figures from the National Bureau of Statistics show.

  The skyrocketing room rents have even scared away a few travel agencies.

  “We aren't paying too much attention to the Hainan market this year since most ordinary people can't afford a room there”said Wen Qian, deputy general manager of GZL International Travel Service.

  “The few who are willing to take a trip to Hainan are wealthy businessmen, who can take their families for a relaxing vacation and at the same time check out the island's real-estate market,”Wen said.

  Hotel prices haven't seen such a jump during the Spring Festival holiday since 2002, when the average price for a room on the island reached about 8,000 yuan per night.

  “This is a special year for Hainan, as the country recently unveiled(透露)plans to turn the place into a top international tourist destination by 2020,”Wen said.

     It seems that no matter when and where, a cat and a mouse just can't get along well. Cats always like
to run after mice; therefore, whenever a mouse meets a cat, the mouse will try to run away as fast as
possible. But, like everything else, there is an exception sometimes.
      On day, a young mouse ran around for fun under a tall tree by himself. Maybe because of running too
fast, the mouse accidentally kicked up a small piece of rock. The rock went up to the air then dropped
down hitting a newborn kitten which happened to be taking a nap under the same tree a few feet away
from the mouse's amusing place. The cat's body was covered by the falling leaves so the mouse did not
notice a cat sleeping nearby.
     The kitten was only a few weeks old. He had never seen a mouse. After being hit, he woke up and
found that the rock was from another animal.
     "What kind of strange animal is it? The inexperienced kitten thought, It must have lots of power as it
could kick up a piece of rock to hit me." The kitten was scared. Without mother by side, the kitten ran
home immediately.
     The incident made the young mouse very proud. He told his friends, the other mice, "Everybody says
that a mouse is afraid of a cat, but today a fact proved that a cat was afraid of me." So the mouse
announced that he would not escape any more when he saw a cat again. The young mouse's friends
explained to the young mouse that the rock-hitting case was but an incident. The kitten was too young
to know a mouse. When the kitten grew up becoming a big cat, it would be different. Therefore, the
other mice advised the mouse that he must run away whenever he saw a cat. But the self-important
mouse would not take the advice.
     As time went by, after the fall and winter, when the spring came, the kitten had grown up and became
a big cat. One day, when the mouse and several other mice were gathering under the same tree to
discuss something, the former kitten, now a big cat, suddenly showed up. All the mice hurriedly ran away
except the mouse that had frightened away the former kitten. The mouse recognized the cat who was
frightened away by him before, so he remained staying there without escaping.

D. In winter
2. Why did the mouse dare to play under the tall tree?
A. It knew that the cat was afraid of it.  
B. It knew the cat was too young.
C. It didn't know there was a cat      
D. It wanted to scare the cat away
3. What do you think happened in the end?
A. The mouse was killed            
B. The cat ran away immediately
C. The cat was defeated             
D. The mouse begged for mercy
4. What lesson can we learn from the passage?
