Once a king got two nice falcons (猎鹰) from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train then to fly.

After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch (树枝) of a tree quietly, just keeping still.

The king called all his falcons together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He spent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. "It is unbelievable!" shouted the king. How could you make it happen?

The farmer replied, "It's very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested."

It is always the same to human beings. We all have "two flying wings" in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we just for safety and comfort. We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the "branch" we are resting on breaks.

C.He made the best falconer train them to fly. D.He set them free and let them fly in the sky.

2.Why did the king call all his falconers together?

A.Because he wanted to get more falcons. B.Because he wanted the other falcon to fly.

C.Because he wanted them to see his falcons. D.Because he wanted to know more about his falcons.

3.Who did the king feel when he saw the other falcon fly freely in the sky?

A.The king. B.The king's son. C.The farmer. D.The best falconer.

4.How did the king feel when he saw the other falcon fly freely in the sky?

A.Excited. B.Moved. C.Worried. D.Relaxed.

5.What is the best title for the text?

A little stream ran down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until it reached a desert. The stream then thought, “I’ve been through countless difficulties. I should have no problem crossing this desert! But as she started her journey, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed and was very unhappy. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean in the end,” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice came, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river. “It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”

“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. If you like to do it, and left yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach the ocean.” said the desert, “Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze.”No! No! The little stream could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like it before. “The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again to continue its course,” explained the desert very patiently. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes,” continued the desert. Hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze, while carried her to the next stage of her life.

A farmer bought an old and run-down farm. The fields were grown over with weeds, the farmhouse was falling apart, and the fences(篱笆) were broken all around.
