25、One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency．You know，you would be submerged(淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely．We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy．

The trip was not very long but it was still very pleasant．We look forward to going there again! Of course，we spent lots of time arranging the trip，but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa，but everything went quite smoothly in the end．

The most difficult part was getting a visa（签证）without an invitation．In the Italian consulate，one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa．Then we had to solve the ticket problem．Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance．The next step was to book a hotel．We finally booked a hotel about 30 km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip．

Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome．Our big house，which was surrounded by the forest，was a rare place for the fresh air and complete silence，beautiful views，hospitable hosts，comfortable living conditions delighting us to no end．Besides this，we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian．She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use．She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go．

Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself．It’s not difficult! The only thing I’ll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves．We walked with a map and a guidebook to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times．So if you’re also planning a ‘single’ trip，don’t forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue．

【1】Why does the author want to go to Italy again?

A. He had a great time there．

26、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．
