閱讀短文,根據(jù)要求完成下面各小題。

China had one of the earliest civilizations(文明) in the world. 43 We know the Chinese had a written language as early as 1500 BC. You can see that Chinese writing is very different from the writing in other countries. The Chinese use a different character for each word. People in many countries have to learn only 26 letters but people in China have to memorize about 600 characters before they can do even basic reading and writing.

A man in China, named Confucius(孔子), was teaching the people of China what they should and should not do. He was a great wise man. His teachings filled several books and became a way of life for the Chinese, and many other people in Asia. Confucius taught that people should listen to their kings, and also that rulers should take care of their people. He taught people to listen to their parents and teachers and to be kind to others. He said, “44 Don’t do to others what you would not want others to do to you.

Many inventions were made and used in China before the rest of the world even heard of them. By 600 AD the Chinese had invented printing. After a few centuries, they made the compass, which was a great help to sailors. A compass can tell north from south. The Chinese were the first to discover how to make explosive powder(火藥).

From all this, you can see that the Chinese were very busy making things that the rest of the world found really exciting and helpful when people learnt about them.

回答問題 閱讀短文,然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容簡要回答問題。

Once a king got two nice falcons(獵鷹) from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons

before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them 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 one was staying on the branch(樹枝) of a tree quietly without moving.

The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make it fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest,

an idea came to his mind. He decided to find someone who knew the natural environment well to

solve the problem. Then 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 humans. We all have "two flying wings in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we feel safe and comfortable. We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the "branch" we are resting on breaks.

1.Where did the king get the falcons?

2.Why did the king ask the farmer to train the falcon?

3.What did the farmer do to make the falcon fly?

4.What do you think of the farmer?

5.To reach high, can we stay where we feel safe and comfortable?
