Once upon a time there was a baby eagle(鷹) living in a nest on a cliff(懸崖). The baby eagle liked the nest. It was the only world he had ever known. It was warm and comfortable. Many times each day the mother would swoop down from the sky and land in the nest and feed the baby eagle delicious food. She was like a god to him he had no idea where she came from or how she worked her magic.

The baby eagle was hungry all the time, but the mother eagle would always come just in time with the food. The baby eagle grew strong. The mother wanted him to try flying and getting the food out of the nest. But the baby eagle was afraid to do it. The mother eagle flew away and stopped coming to the nest. The baby eagle cried and cried. But there was no one there to hear him. Two days later, the mother eagle appeared at the top of the mountain cliff with a big bowl of delicious food and she looked down at her baby.

The mother said, “Here is some very delicious food, all you have to do is come to get it.”

“Come to get it!” said the baby, with much anger. “How?”

The mother pushed him out of the nest. The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. Something strange happens. He looked down and saw the sky. He wasn’t moving towards the ground anymore, his eyes were pointed up at the sun.

“Hug?” he said. “What’s going on here!”

“ You’re flying,” his mother said.

“This is fun!” laughed the baby eagle.

Choose the best answer.(根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)拇鸢?/p>

Three students are choosing a course at the West Midlands College of Technology.

As we know, sport is very common in our daily life. People who usually compete in sports can be found everywhere. Why so many people love sports? 1.

Generally speaking, it is good for our health to do sports, such as basketball, football, table tennis, swimming, badminton, and so on.

2. I have taken the swimming course this term, since I didn’t know how to swim. I find that swimming is very interesting and has many benefits for our bodies. On one hand, it can make our blood circulatory system run regularly. On the other hand, the muscles of our bodies can be massaged(按摩) under the pressure of water. All these are positively advantageous to our health.

3. It is known to us that some sports are team sports that involve several players or even more. When playing with others, people must face the situation of getting along with others. Through the sport games, strangers may go easily with others and make friends with each other.

4. If you don’t know what to do, doing exercises may be a good idea because you can share the time and the fun with your friends.

5. Yes, that’s right. But the advantages of sports are more than its disadvantages. We should follow the lead of sports athletes, as sports play an essential role in our life. Plenty of physical exercise will help you keep fit.

A.I think I love the sports deeply.

B.Just take swimming for example.

C.There are many reasons for this.

D.I like the sports, which is interesting.

E. Besides, sport is also a way of communication.

F. Some people may say it is easy to be hurt while having sports.

G. What’s more, they can get satisfaction from the competitive sports.
