A businessman has a bird which he kept in a cage. Once he was going to India, the land from where the bird came. He asked the bird whether he could bring anything back for him. The bird asked for his freedom, but was refused. Then he asked the businessman to visit a jungle (丛林) in India and tell his captivity (囚禁) to the free birds who were there.

The businessman did so. After he had spoken, a wild bird almost immediately fell off a tree and lay on the ground near his feet. The businessman thought that this bird must be an old friend of his own bird, and felt sad that he should have caused this death.

When he got home, the bird asked him whether he had brought good news from India. “No,” said the businessman, “I’m afraid that my news is bad. One of your good friends fell from a tree suddenly and died at my feet when I talked about your captivity.”

As soon as these words was spoken, the businessman’s bird collapsed and fell to the bottom of the cage. “The news of his friend’s death has killed him, too,” thought the businessman.

B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文)：(6分)

Ronny looked like every other kid in the 1st grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mum. However, Ronny was different from his classmates in other    66  . He had a speech problem so he couldn't    67    like other kids in his grade. I worked with all the students in Ronny's class one by one to improve their reading.

On the days when it was Ronny's    68   , I gave him a silent smile, and he flew out of his chair. He sat close to me and opened the book carefully. His fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried to read out. Every time he managed to read a word, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his eyes would shine with    69   .

Before the year ended, I gave Ronny a book - one of those Little Golden Books that only cost $5. A few days later, I noticed Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap (大腿）. His teacher said, “He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him. Actually, that's his first book he's ever owned. "Keeping back my tears, I walked towards Ronny and asked, “Will you read me your book?” To my surprise, he read to me more    70    than I'd ever thought. The pages were already dog-eared, like the book had been read thousands of times. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction, “ Good book!”

How could we travel without maps? It would be a bit adventurous (冒险的) to start from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasn't a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were explorers, e      72  in the 15th and 16th centuries.

So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use n      73  signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines (海岸线). And it was much more logical (合理的) to use t      74  to measure journeys: the next village is three-hour ride, for example.

In fact, in the earliest maps, people didn't draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the n      75  sky and use it for navigation（航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave c      76   distances and directions.

The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck r      77   that travelling by train wasn't the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design for the Underground map wasn't very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and in 1933, 700,000 copies were printed.

These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know  w      78   you are by using a GPS. I's rally difficult to get lost!

D. Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)：(7分)

A king wanted to find the answers to three questions. The questions are: when is the right time for every action, who are the most important people, and what is the most important thing to do? The king asked learned men, but their answers didn't please him. In the end, he decided to visit a wise man who lived in the woods.

When he got close to the wise man's hut, he asked his bodyguards to wait behind. He found the wise man digging. He asked the wise man his three questions, but the wise man didn't respond. Seeing how old the wise man was, the king helped him dig. The king dug for hours, but the wise man never said anything. Just as the king was about to leave, a wounded man ran to the hut and fainted (晕倒) before them. Then the king carried the wounded man to the hut and looked after him. The wounded man said that he was the king's enemy and had wanted to kill the king. He asked for forgiveness and promised to serve the king faithfully.

Afterwards, the king repeated his questions to the wise man. The wise man replied, “If you had not helped me dig earlier, you would have left and been killed. So, the most important man back then was me, and the most important time was when you were digging. The most important thing to do was to be kind to me. When the wounded man arrived, he was the most important person, and saving him was the most important thing. By doing so, you made peace with an enemy.”
