If you put a buzzard(禿鷹) in a cage without a roof(頂棚), the bird will be a prisoner. Even though it can fly, it can’t fly through the open roof. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 3 or 4 meters. Without space to run, he will not even try to fly, but will stay in his small jail(監(jiān)牢) for the rest of his life.
The ordinary bat that flies around at night cannot take off from the ground. If it is placed on the ground, all it can do is shuffle(穿梭) about helplessly. If it reaches a higher place, it will be able to throw itself into the air. Then it takes off quickly. But on flat 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 away where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bee. They are struggling with all their problems and frustrations(挫折)，not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
小題1:A buzzard can’t fly through the open roof of a cage because       .
A．it is too big and heavy to fly up
B．it feels the space is too small to start the flight
C．it gets used to living in the cage without a roof
D．it would like to spend the rest of his life in the jail
小題2:Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that        .
A．the bat is a kind of smart bird
B．the bat can take off quickly on flat ground
C．the bat flies only at night
D．the bat can only take off from a higher place
小題3:Which is NOT true about the bee?
A．The bee doesn’t try to find a way to escape.
B．The bee will die if it isn’t taken out of the cup in time.
C．The bee always wants to escape from the cup near the bottom.
D．The bee doesn’t see the way out at the top.
小題4:What’s the purpose of the story?
A．Many people are like the buzzard, the bat and the bee.
B．Animals will also give up when in trouble.
C．We should try new ways to deal with difficulties.
D．We should solve problems by ourselves.

What do you think is the most important invention in the world? The TV? The printer? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.
One of the simplest inventions is the toilet. Before toilets, people poured or dumped waste into rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay(干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of 45. Without glasses, the word would be difficult for the people above 45.
