Question

There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love.One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving songbirds.She took them home and put them in a small cage，caring them with love.Luckily，the birds grew strong little by little.Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song.The girl felt great love for the birds.

One day the girl left the door to the cage open accidentally.The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.The girl was so frightened that he would fly away so as he flew close，she grasped him wildly.Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him.Suddenly，she felt the bird go limp，so she opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird.It was her desperate love that had killed him.

She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage.She could feel his strong desire－needing to fly into the clear，blue sky.Unwillingly，she lifted him from the cage and tossed him softly into the air.The lucky bird circled once，twice，three times.

The girl watched delightedly at the bird.Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss.What she wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily.Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.It sang the sweetest tune that she had ever heard.

Remember，the fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight；the best way to keep love is to give it wings!

【解析】愛需要空間，缺乏空間的愛只會讓愛窒息。

1.，caring them with love.”可知小鳥是餓的要死，然后她把他們帶回家養(yǎng)了起來。

2.2】C　推理判斷題。從第二段的第三句“The girl was so frightened that he would fly away”可推知，她怕心愛的鳥兒飛走了，因此才用力的抓住了它。

3.3】A　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞所在的段落可知，女孩雖然不情愿，但是已經(jīng)意識到了小鳥對天空的向往，因此她把鳥兒從籠中取出并輕輕地把它拋向了天空。

4.4】B　歸納概括題。從文章過程及文章的主旨段(最后一段)可知：要給愛以空間，否則會過猶不及。
