21、

Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly. After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch(树枝)of a tree quietly, just keeping still. The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day while the king was taking a walk in the forest an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once. The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. “It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. “How could you make it happen?” The farmer replied, “It’s very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.” It is always the same to human beings. We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.

22、Every living thing needs to reproduce. Reproducing means creating more members of your group. In order for plants to reproduce, they have to spread their seeds (种子) to other areas. Plants have developed all kinds of ways to do this.

The simplest way is gravity. Many seeds are inside of fruit. When a piece of fruit gets too heavy, it falls from a tree to the ground. Sometimes animals will pick up the fruit and drop it in another area. That helps move the seed even farther away. Apples spread this way.

Other plants use wind to spread their seeds. Dandelions (蒲公英) are a good example of this.

Dandelion seeds are so light that when wind blows, it carries dandelion seeds to new places.

Maple (枫树) seeds also use wind. Their seeds are connected with long, thin leaves that look like wings. When the seed falls from the tree, its “wings” help it fly farther from the tree.

Some animals help plants spread their seeds. The animals eat the seeds. While the seed is in the animal’s body, it stays whole. When the seed leaves the animal, it’s in a new place.

Ants also help spread seeds. Some seeds have a special smell that attracts ants. The ants bring   the seeds back to their home, which of course is underground. They only eat part of the seed. They leave the rest of the seed underground. After that, the seed can start growing.

【1】What does the underlined word “gravity” mean in the second paragraph?

A．The action that makes animals drop seeds.

B．The help that moves seeds even farther away.

C．The need that comes from animals and plants.

D．The force that causes fruit to fall to the ground.

【2】What do ants do to help spread seeds?

a. They only eat part of the seed.                    b. They help seeds fall from the tree.

c. They carry seeds to the underground home.   d. They pick up the fruit and move it far away.   

e. They leave the rest of the seed underground.

A．b, d, e

B．a, b, d

C．a, c, e

D．b, c, d

【3】What’s the best title for the text?

A．How Plants Spread Seeds?

B．Why Animals Pick Up Seeds?

C．How Wind Helps Seeds spread?

D．Why Seeds Have a Special Trip?
