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 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." It is always the same to humans. 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.

It was a sunny summer day and I walked back home after school. When I stood in front of the door, I was shocked to find that the key had disappeared from my pocket. It was a disaster for me, because I only had one key and my parents were gone for several days.
I walked around the community, hoping to find the lost key. But I couldn't find it. I called my mum and she told me to go to my aunt's home. My aunt lives in another building of our community. I was sad, but I had no choice. The next morning, when I was going to school, I saw something shining on the window of the security hut (保安亭). It was my key. "Unbelievable!" I was quite surprised as I held the key in my hands.
"Is that yours, kid?" the old guard asked.
"Yeah. I lost it yesterday. Who sent this?" I replied. The old man said, "I don't know, someone picked it up last night."
To pick up a key from the ground and take it to the security hut is not something special, but it meant so much to me. I cannot express my thanks to the person who found my key. But I can pass on his or her kindness by following his or her steps to help others.

(Xinhua News)What kind of vehicle will you choose when traveling between provinces? Many people may like traveling by train because it's safer and cheaper. Now the high﹣speed railways have connected eastern and western China as well as the south and the north.
A new high﹣speed railway opened on Sept. 10th, 2016. It connects Zhengzhou in Henan Province with Xuzhou in Jiangsu Province. With this railway, China's high﹣speed railways are over 20,000kilometers long. It is the world's longest and makes up 60percent of the world's total high﹣speed railway lines.
Besides length, China also does better in speed. China is the only country with trains running at 350kilometers an hour, such as the Beijing﹣Tianjin and Beijing﹣Shanghai high﹣speed railways.
With these surprising numbers, it is easy to forget that China wasn't the first in the high﹣speed rail game. Japan started 50years ago, while Germany did 20years ago. China only began to build its high﹣speed railways 14years ago.
China's high﹣speed railways are developing fast now. Behind it, there is the country's growing need for transportation. According to Xinhua News, China's high﹣speed trains gave 961million trips to people last year.
"The high﹣speed railways not only bridge the distance, but connect people, information and goods." said Huang Xin, an official from the China Railway Corp.
Yet, China's building of high﹣speed railways is still going on. China plans to have 38,000kilometers of high﹣speed railway by 2025.
36. Why may many people like traveling between provinces by train according to the passage?
37. How long have China's high﹣speed railways been since Sept. 10th, 2016?
38. Which country is the first one to build the highspeed railways?
39. China's building of high﹣speed railways isn't still going on, is it?
40. If you want to go to Beijing for the coming summer holidays, what kind of vehicle will you choose?
