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(樹枝 ) of a tree quietly, just keeping still. The king called all his falconers 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 sent 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 fort. We won’ t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “ branch” we are resting on breaks. （ ） did the king do after he got the two falcons? A. He kept them on the branch of a tree. B.

Union Station, waiting for the train. Inside the waiting hall were many people. A boy sat nearby. His worn jacket, pale face, dirty hands all seemed to tell me that he was homeless. “He must be cold and hungry. Maybe I should help him,” I said to myself. Just at that moment, a welldressed young couple walked towards him. “Excuse me,” the man bent down. “My wife and I bought two meal boxes but one was enough for us. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?” he handed the boy a meal box. The boy thanked them and opened the box with joy and care. Suddenly he stopped. In the direction to which he looked, I saw an old man in rags in a worn sweater, worn trousers and open shoes, entering the hall. Putting the meal box aside, the boy stood and helpe
