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 was staying on the branch 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 would 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, “Its 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 dont seem to notice them and stay where we just for safety and comfort. We wont realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks. (256w)66.

The king felt _when he saw the other falcon fly freely in the sky.A. amazed B. moved C. worried D. relaxed70. The best title for the text is_.A. The Wise King B. The Nice FalconsC. The Best Falconer D. The Flying WingsC National parks are large areas of public land. They give a safe home to local plants and animals. They help keep the air and water clean. They also give us the best trips. Today, there are nearly 7,000 national parks aroundthe world. Forbes has listed 12 of the most beautiful ones in the world that will surpriseyou with theiramazing landscapes, geographic wonders, and colorful plants and animals. The Grand Canyon (大峡谷) National Park of the US is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. It is best known for its size and depth. It is 446 kilometers long, up to 29 kilometers wide, and 1.6 kilometers deep. The immensity of the canyon makes people think big. Every year, about 5 million people visit here. Taking a tour in the South Rim offers visitors the parks full views, while the North Rim shows beautiful wild flowers. If you love animals, youll like the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The “Big Five” live here. They are the lion, African elephants, African leopard, black rhinoceros and African buffalo. The name“Big Five” came from the five animals that were the hardest to catch. Now they are what people most want to see in the wild. If you visit the park, you should never miss the migration (迁徙) of over 1.5 million wildebeests (角马) and 250,000 zebras every year. This is the most famous site of the park. (249w)71. National parks are amazing and attractive because of _.A. their public land B. Forbess reportC. the trips there D. their natural beauty72.

Once a king got two nice falcons (猎鹰) 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 was staying on the branch 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 would 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 don’t seem to notice them and stay where we just for safety and comfort. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks. (256w)
