Text | In this podcast, the word "mole" means a small, dark, brown, usually round mark on one's skin, often slightly higher than the surrounding skin: "Vicky hates the mole on her cheek and is going to ask her doctor to remove it." A "mole" is also a small, furry mammal that spends most of its time underground and is almost blind: "Gardeners dislike moles, because they eat the roots of plants and leave large piles of dirt near where they live." Finally, a "mole" is a spy, or a person who works for one government or organization while secretly giving confidential information to another government or a competing organization: "The government is trying to identify the mole who is passing on secret information about nuclear weapons to the country's enemies." |
