2、 to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. No musician can sing more beautiful than the birds. I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it i

3、n a cage and in that way would have my own private musician. I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, the bird flied about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny mu

4、sician.I had left the cage out, and on the second day my new pets mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.The following morning when I went to see how my bi

5、rd was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken good care of my little bird.Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A

6、mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries.

BAll birds put in a cage wont live long.

9、 CYou should keep the birds from their mother.DBe careful about food you give to baby birds.BMany facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (

10、包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.There is another

11、argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to

12、choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or the

13、ir computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be

14、more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.25. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food? A. Those who often take exercise. B. Those who often watch television. C. Those who often have meals at home. D. Those who often walk to

16、bably means _. A. forcing B. guiding C. driving D. moving28. The main purpose of the text is to _. A. tell a story B. provide facts C. give advice D. compare opinionsCWhile income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reaso

17、ns that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon（现象）is commonly known as Empty Nest Syndrome（空巢综合症）.In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents b

18、ehind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societ

19、ies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the

20、grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as distant parent phenomenon, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our s

21、ociety has not yet been well prepared for Empty Nest Syndrome.29. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _.
