One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes 36 the skies like beautiful birds dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them under 37 .

Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great 38 . They __39 and pulled, but the restraining string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow (拖着), facing upward and against the 40 . As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be 41 !” They flew beautifully even 42 they fought the restraint of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in getting 43 . “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly 44 the wind.”

Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the 45 of an unsympathetic wind. It flew up and down to the ground and 46 in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown 47 along the ground.

How much like 48 we sometimes are. The heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and restrictions, 49 to follow from which we can grow and 50 strength. Some of us resist the rules so hard that we never fly to reach the heights we might have 51 . We keep part of the rules and never 52 high enough to get our tails off the ground.

Let us each rise to the great heights, 53 that some of the restraints that we may be annoyed at are 54 the powerful force that helps us climb and 55 our goal.

Most young architects—particularly those in big cities— can only dream about working in a building of their own. And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his parter, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts film in Atlanta. Form the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting(生锈的)walls.

In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(排除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there— the walls, the rust, the light.” Yocum said. “Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It’s like an art installation(装置) in there—a slow-motion show.”

Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.

Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.

68. According to the passage, it is _______ for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.

A. easy B. unnecessary C. unrealistic D. common

69. Yocum bought the old building because _____.

A. it was a bargain to him

B. it was still in good condition

C. it was located in the city center

D. it looked attractive from the outside

70. It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell _____.

A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roof

B. turned more old buildings into art galleries

C. got inspiration from decorating their old building

D. paid more attention to the outside of the art gallery

71. The main idea of the passage is that ______.

A. people can learn a lot from their failures.

B. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building

C. people should not judge things by their appearance

D. creative people can make the best of what they have
