He loved them so much and asked his best eagle trainers to train them to fly.After several months, the king found that one eagle was already able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on a branch of a tree quietly.The king called all his eagle trainers together and ordered them to try every way to make the other eagle fly. But all of them failed. Then he had an idea. Maybe someone living in the wild could work out the problem. Then he found a farmer living in the grasslands. The king invited him into his palace to train it at once.The next morning, when the king walked in his garden, he saw the other eagle 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. This eagle was resting on a branch when I came. I just cut off the branch."It is always the same to people. We all have "two flying wings" in our hearts, but we often seem not to notice them and stay at a safe and comfortable place. We don't know we can fly so high and freely until the "branch" we are resting on breaks.1.

The grasslands have lots of space for people to ride horses.Recently, 70-year-old US photographer (摄影师) Bonnie Stewart went to Mongolia. She took photos of eagle hunters riding horses there. But these hunters don't actually hunt eagles themselves. They use the eagles to hunt other animals, like foxes and hares.Once the hunter sees an animal, he or she sends the eagle out. The eagle then catches the animal with its feet and holds onto it. This is a tradition for hunters in Mongolia according to National Geography.It usually takes about five years to train an eagle. The bird learns how to follow the animals and land on the hunter's arm. The hunters also sing and talk to the birds so they can remember the hunters' voices. But the hunters don't keep their eagles forever.After several years, they will send their eagles back into the wild.1. What do we know about Mongolia from Paragraph l?A. It belongs to China.B.

Here is how it happens.1. Preparing too much before travellingSome people, especially females, like to travel as if starting a new life. Several weeks before the trip, they would be busy shopping for new dresses, better sunglasses and best-selling books. They would rather fill their travelling bags up with all fashionable things. Just travelling? Attending a fashion show more like it. They care more about their appearance than the sights they see during the trip.2. Following other travellers blindlyThey can't stop shopping for objects they would never normally buy and would certainly never use. For example, we can find a group of travellers "getting ahead" to buy "Christmas" presents even in summer.3. Replacing things that are forgotten to bringThey don't remember to bring things like trainers, cool bags, toothbrushes or beach towels. The towels sold near beaches are nearly the price of gold leaves. They spend a lot on those things. However, plenty of new towels are sleeping in their bathroom at home.What are you going to do if you are in a burning house？How will you escape？Do you know how to p 1 yourself?
