任务一 完形填空
Long long ago, there was a king. He loved animals very much. One day he got 1 nice falcons from his son. He had never seen such 2 falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer(训练隼者) to 3 them to fly.
After several months, the king came to see 4 the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while 5 was staying on the branch of a tree quietly.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to 6 every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them 7. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his 8. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could 9 this problem. Then he invited a 10 who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying in the sky freely. He felt very surprised.
“It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. “How could you 11 it happen?”
The farmer replied, “It is very 12. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested. It had no place to rest. Then it had to 13.”
It is always the same as human beings. We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well. But it seems that we don’t notice them and stay in a place where we just feel 14 and comfortable. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the branches we are resting on 15. Do you think so?
