It was my daughter's first day of school. I knew that she would be in a few minutes, because she always did that when she was worried about new environment.

On the way to school I told her repeatedly how her new school life would be and expected she would feel . However, when she saw the large group of students everywhere, her face at once fell and the tears came to her eyes. "You can do this, sweetie. Everyone has a in line; let's go to find yours."

We lined up to enter the school. Just as she was about to hold on to my leg, her friend from preschool next to her. Suddenly, she became active and reached out for her friend's hand. And as the teacher began to them all into the school, she wasn’t crying, but smiling.

To tell the truth, 1 was to say goodbye when 1 saw those little feet walk into that big building. I hid the tears behind my sunglasses and waved my hand as she walked inside.

All day I what she was doing. As I waited to pick her up, I felt like a child standing in line to meet Santa. "1 didn't cry again, Mommy," she said ,showing me her backpack full of candies.

During two hours of listening to the details of her day, we laughed and talked about all the she had on the first school day. I knew my daughter has grown up.

One day last summer, watching the boys and girls trying to catch butterflies, I remembered something happened when I was young. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that stopped me forever from wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.

We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening the mockingbirds(模仿鸟) would come and rest in the trees and sings. 1. I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.

2. At first, the bird flew about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.

I had left the cage out, and on the second day my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. 3.

Certainly the mother knew better than I about how to feed her baby.

The following morning when I went to see how my bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! 4.

Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist(鸟学家), happened to be visiting my father at the time. Hearing me crying over the death of my bird, he explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poisonous(有毒的)berries(干果). 5.

Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.

A. I had taken good care of my little bird.

B. I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage.

C. I was pleased to see this.

D. No musician can sing more beautiful than the birds.

E. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in cage.
