Hunting with birds is a very old sport. In some countries the golden eagle is used for hunting wild animals. They are used for hunting foxes and wolves.
Training an eagle to hunt takes a long time. Hunters catch young eagles in nets made of hair. After being trained the eagle is taken to a field. A blindfold over the bird’s eyes keeps it quiet until the hunter is ready.
The eagle sits in the arm of the hunter. The hunter’s arm is covered with a long, special glove to protect it from the sharp claws of the bird. In the field, as soon as the hunter sees a fox or a wolf, he removes the blindfold. The eagle quickly flies into the air and began to look for the wild animal.
The eagle sees the animal and catches it with claws like steel. Its beak and claws are strong enough to hold the animal. Usually, the bird carries the animal back to the hunter. Sometimes fast animals with good eyes can get away.

When I was ten my dad helped me buy my first ten-speed bicycle from Allen.I put up $60 of my grass cutting and snow shoveling (铲) money and my dad put up the other half I would pay him back over the next six months.Although it was not in the latest style, it was my ticket to the adult world.
I spent that summer and autumn riding happily.My sister Liz, a prisoner(囚犯,俘虏) of her five-speed bicycle, never had a chance to keep up.Just before the Christmas deadline to pay my dad back, we were hit with several snowstorms.This allowed me to shovel enough driveways (车道) to pay off my debt.I was now officially a bike owner; it was a feeling unlike any other.
On that Christmas morning, my dad gave me a used portable (便携式的) record player.I was excited.However, my joy was short-lived after my dad called my sister to the kitchen.“We have one more gift for you.” he said as he opened the door that led to the garage.There, on the steps, stood a new ten-speed bicycle.
“It’s not fair,” I complained.“I worked so hard for my bike.and it’s not even new.Then Liz gets a new bike.She didn’t have to do anything for it.” My dad smiled.“She didn’t have to do anything for it because it’s not really for her,” he said.What did that mean? I didn’t want her bike.
By spring Liz and I were riding all over town together now that she could keep up.As we grew, Liz and I became true friends.
Still I wasn’t smart enough to figure out what my dad meant until years later.That new bike was not a gift for Liz — it was a gift for me.He’d given me the gift of my sister’s company, the ability to stay together rather than drift apart (逐渐疏远) in the face of my ability to travel.He gave me my best friend.

In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film-maker Walter Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon film for children. When Walter Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said, “Stop! That’s our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film, The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and worn his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very easily. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody, like Mickey.

As a boy, Sanders was much influenced(影响) by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor.

When Zhang Ning , whose pen name was Misha, started drawing manga(漫画) in junior high school, it was a time when Japanese cartoonists occupied most of the Chinese market. She was warned about the poor wage cartoonists earn and the risk of pursuing a career in an industry where China is not yet competitive.
But with the growth of domestic animation and manga industry in recent years, Zhang managed to draw her way up to become one of the country’s top cartoonists. In 2011, the 29-year-old won the Golden Dragon award, one of the most influential awards in China’s manga industry.
Looking back, the graduate of Zhejiang University of Technology said: “It was a dream come true.” Zhang’s success boomed along with the industry. In 2010, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, China’s animation and manga industry was worth 47 billion yuan. It has seen annual growth rates of more than 20 percent in recent years.
These big numbers seem a far stretch from Zhang’s in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. But she thinks the very reason why cartoonists can enjoy a decent life is the country’s decision to well develop the industry. “The country is not giving us money directly, but it’s creating a market in which we can succeed,”said Zhang.
Apart from government investment, Zhang is also benefiting from technology advances. The Internet has provided a wider platform for cartoonists to publish their work. The electric edition of Zhang’s work ranked the 6th among free book apps on the Apple Store. “I think the Internet has encouraged new cartoonists and given them more chances. Before we could only contribute to magazines and it was difficult to convince the editors to publish our work”, said Zhang. “But when you release your work online, you receive encouragement and support from many netizens. It increases your confidence. ”said Zhang.
New technology has also attracted more people to read comics. “China has entered 3G era. It’s very convenient for people to read on their smart phones when traveling around. It opens comics to a bigger readership,” said Zhang. Only last week, Zhang published her new manga based on the ancient classic Tangzi(汤子) which set during the warring states period. According to Zhang, the inspiration came from wall painting in Dunhuang, Gansu province. She hopes her works will encouraged more people especially the young, to explore the cultural treasures of ancient China. “Chinese youths now need a spirit to help them to realize their dreams,” said Zhang. “Like Kua Fu(夸父) chasing the sun --- people can accomplish great things by choosing to something seemingly beyond their ability. I think that’s my “Chinese dream” and I want to share it with the public through my cartoons.”
When Zhang Ning started drawing manga,________.

A.she nearly finished her study in junior high school.
B.Japanese cartoonists took up the majority of Chinese market.
C.Chinese cartoonists could earn so much money.
D.She was encouraged by her teachers.

Which statement can be inferred from the passage?

A.Before the widespread use of the Internet, cartoonists merely send the works to magazines.
B.The Internet has been a wonderful platform only for Chinese cartoonists’ works.
C.China’s animation and manga industry will have a promising future.
D.New cartoonists have received support from the people from across China.

This passage is mainly about _____________.

A.that Chinese cartoonists are the greatest in the world.
B.that China’s dream of being the top animation and manga nation.
C.that technology alone helps cartoonists to achieve success.
D.that a Chinese cartoonist has chased her dream and lived it.

All of the following except _____ have contributed to Zhang Ning’s success.

A.her new manga Tangzi B.technology advances
C.widespread use of Internet D.government support.
