Then they came back happily to the old bird and showed him the bananas. “Now, you see, the elephant is strong,” said the old bird with a smile, “but he couldn't get the bananas; the monkey is quick, but he couldn't, either. Only you two could do the work well when you helped each other.”

One windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in control.
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”
Yet freedom(自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障礙物).
How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.
小題1:Why does the writer write the first paragraph?
A.Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites.
B.Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers.
C.Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites.
D.Because he wants to use readers’ similar life experience to understand the article better.
小題2:By writing the second and third paragraphs, the writer seems to let the readers know__________.
A.a(chǎn)nyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad end
B.what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the ground
C.man with freedom can’t be like that kite which fell down
D.the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kite’s failure
小題3:What does the underlined word “restriction” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A.束縛B.放縱C.搖擺D.牽引
小題4:In the writer’s opinion, ____________.
A.without restrictions and rules we can make endless progress
B.kites are good examples to those who want to get freedom
C.restrictions are necessary for us human beings
D.we don’t need any freedom at all
