The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon 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 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's always the same to human beings．We all have"two flying wings"in our hearts as well，but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort．We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the"branch"we are resting on breaks．

Reading Expression

In China, more and more people have realized the seriousness of climate（气候） change. Many young people have been living a low-carbon（低碳） life.

Zheng Xiyu is one of them. She has been trying to reduce her carbon footprint. Every morning, she takes a bus to her office and it takes her about 40 minutes. But Zheng has been thinking of changing this. She wants to try a different means（方式） of transport—cycling. Riding a bicycle to work, the lady says, takes about the same amount of time as taking a bus. “However, it’s better for the environment and my health.” she says.

Professor Li Lin has also been leading a low-carbon lifestyle. Her office uses energy-saving lights. These lights go off themselves when they are not needed. This has saved a large amount of electricity. Another way to save energy is to double-print the paper. Professor Li says small actions like these are important for protecting the environment. “Let’s say you have saved one ton of paper. That’s about two and a half tons of CO2.” Professor Li says.

Lin Hui always chooses products with a longer life when he shops. He says this helps to reduce waste. Two years ago, Lin and his friends set up an environment website, where he wanted to give some advice on saving energy and protecting the environment.

It’s easy to change to a low-carbon lifestyle. Everybody can do this and make a difference.

Use words with proper meanings and grammatical rules to fill in the blanks.
