【正文】 d an agent. To be honest, I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything, and my friends have always known.

I asked her some questions about it, and it was so clear that she had no idea that I39。d written it she even offered to lend it to me after she39。d finished!

The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, as its habit, it will not even try to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in its small buzzard prison with no top. The bat that flies around at night cannot take off from the ground. If it is placed on the ground all it can do is to walk slowly about helplessly and no doubt, painfully. If it reaches a higher place, it will be able to throw itself into the air. Then it takes off immediately. But on flat（平的）ground, it will never fly. A bee dropped into a cup will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but keeps trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will look for a way where none exists（存在）, until it pletely destroys itself. In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bee. They are struggling about with all their problems and difficulties, not realizing that the answer is right there above them. （1）Which of the following is a pen according to Paragraph 1? A.B.C.D.（2）Why can39。t a buzzard fly through the top of a pen? A.It is too big and heavy to fly up.B.The space is too small for it to start flying.C.It is too hungry and weak to get outD.The place is fortable for it to live.（3）What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the bat?

A.It39。ll escape from the top.B.It39。ll stay at the bottom without moving.C.It39。ll lose the ability to fly.D.It39。ll die of tiredness at last.（5）What can we learn from the story?
