Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying (摧毁) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破坏) that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.

A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.

Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

The eagle has the longest life of its group. It can reach up to

70 years. But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard and

painful decision.

When an eagle reaches near 40, its short sharp beak becomes

bent(弯曲的). Its long and once flexible(灵活的) talons

can no longer catch animals or birds for food. And its old and

heavy wings with thick feathers on its body make it difficult to fly.

Then, the eagle has only tow choices: to die or to go through a

painful time of change which needs five months.

When the eagle feels weak and is about to die, it goes to a

place far away on the top of a mountain and sits on a nest. For a new life, the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it pulls its beak out. After pulling it out, the eagle waits for a new beak to grow. And then it pulls out its talons and old feathers. It takes the eagle five months to complete its change and get a new life. We can call it its rebirth. So it can live for 30 more years.

Like the eagle, we human beings sometimes need to make some change to get out of our difficulty. Inmiserablecondition, we have to change our ways of life. The changing may be very painful. But sometimes we have to throw off our old habits, memories and traditions. We can’t go on with all our past burdens(重负).

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. When an eagle reaches near 40, its short sharp beak is still straight.

B. For a new life, the eagle knocks its talons against a rock.

C. If the eagle doesn’t change itself, it will have a new life.

D. The writer’s idea is that we can’t go on with all our past burdens.

2.The underlined word“miserable” here probably means“ ”.

A. terrible B. good C. lonely D. lucky

3.The best title for the passage can be“ ”.

A. The death of the eagle

B. The living period of the eagle

C. A good and easy decision

D. Rebirth of the eagle
