仔细阅读下列短文, 根据题目, 选出最佳选项. This is a story told by a student of veterinary medicine(兽医) who is working in the countryside with the local vet. During the first week I was with Dr. Johnson, nothing special happened. However, when I got to the MacPherson farm, I saw something extraordinary(特别的). While I was talking to Farmer MacPherson, a pig came round the corner of the barn(谷仓). What was extraordinary was that the pig had three man-made legs. I asked the farmer about it and this is what he told me. "You mean Pinky Well, let me tell you a few things about him. One day I was working in the hay field. The tractor started to roll and trapped me under the wheel(车轮). Pinky saw this and ran back to fetch my wife. That pig is very clever梑etter than any dog. " I had heard that pigs were clever, but the story didn't explain the three man-made legs. "Let me tell you about another time," MacPherson said. "My son was swimming in the river over there and he hit his head on a branch. He was going down for the third time when Pinky jumped into the water and pulled him out. " It was hard to believe that, but what about the man-made legs "Well," said MacPherson "last year the old farmhouse burned down. We were sleeping when the fire started. Pinky ran around the house squalling until we woke up". We were just outside the house when the roof(屋顶)fell in. "That's a very special pig," I said. "But please, tell me why Pinky has three man-made legs. " Farmer MacPherson answered: "Well, a pig like that is too good to eat all at once. "

  One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to 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(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 immediately.Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole.It seemed that one was trying to bite(咬)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 excape.

  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)

Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because ________.

[  ]

A.

one was biting the other

B.

the mouth of the hole was too small

C.

they were not afraid of smoke
