After one look out of the window, I felt even sadder: it was still raining heavily. The room was becoming colder and colder.

IV. 任务型阅读
Once a king got two nice falcons (猎鹰) from his son. 19. 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 one was staying on the branch (树枝) of a tree quietly without moving.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make it fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. He decided to find someone who knew the natural environment well to solve the problem. Then 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.”
20. 人类也总是和它一样。We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we feel safe and comfortable. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.

23. What did the farmer do to make the falcon fly
