2、e 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 in a cage and in tha

3、t 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.

5、covered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened!

9、he 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 (包围) by shops sellin

10、g 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 argument that blame

11、s 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 choose what they ea

12、t, 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.

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 reasons that explain thei

17、r 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 behind with no clear

18、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.
