The weather is something no one can control. Maybe that is 16 there are so many expressions about the weather, especially about 17 .
Sometimes, when you need rain, you do not get any. Other times, you get rain when you don’t need it. 18 a baseball game for example, a sudden rainstorm can stop an exciting game. If the game cannot continue, people who bought the tickets are given “rain checks”. These are 19 tickets that will let them see a 20 game for free.
“Rain Check” now means a second chance at something. Shops may offer “rain checks” when they sell out all of a product(产品) — a television set, for example, at a special low price. 21 all the TV sets have been sold out, the shop gives rain checks to those who wanted to buy 22 . The rain check allows a person to buy the TV set later at the same low price after the shop receives some 23 TV sets from the factory.
“Rain Check” is also used in social situations. It’s a way of 24 an invitation, but for a later time.
You may ask for a “Rain Check” if you are invited to a friend’s house for dinner, but can’t be there right now. You say, “I would love to go, but I’m busy. Could I have a rain check?” 25 you are asking if you could have dinner with your friend at another time. It seems that your friend will probably ask you to dinner very soon next time.

阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
One day when some government officials(官员) were building a barn(谷仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to make 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(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 didn’t 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(困惑), so they stepped near to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and couldn’t 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 mice was that of king and guard(卫兵).” The other thought for a while and said, “That is why!”
A smart Frenchman 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(表达) 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 stayed speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame(羞愧), and did not dare to answer.
In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty(忠诚) or blood relationship.
Instead, it is based on no relationship.
36. 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
D. one was trying to help the blind one
37. Why did the officials lower their heads in shame according to the passage?
A. They didn’t dare to answer.
B. They didn’t realize the importance of protecting animals.
C. They felt sorry they had driven a poor blind mouse away.
D. They didn’t express themselves much better.
38. It is clear that .
A. all the mice came out of the hole easily
B. each of the people understood the relationship differently
C. the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke
D. the people knew one of the mice was blind at first
