A young dove asked the King Dove, “Your Majesty, please 43 us to take some rest.” The king replied, “Be 44 , my dear young fellow. We shall 45 get something to eat very soon.”
The young dove started flapping his wings with 46 and soon left everyone else behind. After some time, he 47 and spoke to others, “Hey, I see lots of 48 down there.”
Hearing this, all the doves started 49 the scattered grains under a banyan tree. 50 the King Dove said, “It is too good to be true. There is something wrong. Don’t rush towards the grains. It may be a 51 .Some hunter must have laid a trap.”
But the doves were extremely hungry. The 52 of the grains was too tempting (诱惑人的). Without giving a(n) 53 to the king’s advice, they swooped down and started eating the grains. After having a big 54 , they tried to fly away only to 55 that they were caught in a net.
The King Dove said, “I told you before that it is a trick of some hunter.”
All of them felt ashamed and 56 . One of them said to the King Dove, “Oh, Your Majesty, please save us.”
So the King Dove said, “All of you must try to fly with the 57 at the same time and in the same 58, all of you.”
Just then they saw a(n) 59 show up. The King Dove said, “Now all of you, fly together.”
So all the doves flapped their wings together and flew with the net. The hunter stood dazed. He couldn’t 60 what he had just seen.

Three boys and three girls boarded the bus to Fort Lauderdale, dreaming of golden beaches as the gray cold of New York disappeared behind them. They noticed an old man, who sat in front of them, dressed in a plain, ill-fitting suit, never , and his dusty face his age.
He was in his seat like a stone, and the young people began to about him, trying to his life and his age. Deep into the night, outside Washington, one of the girls went up to him and introduced herself. “Want some wine?” He took the glass and drank.
Slowly and he told his story. His name was Vingo, he had been in in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home. “When I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said. “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn't it, if the kids kept asking questions, if it too much, she could just forget me, I'd understand.”
“Last week, knowing I would be , I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick and there's a big oak tree just as you come into town. I told her that if she would me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I'd and come home with her. If she didn't me, forget it, no handkerchief, and I'd go on through.”
“Wow,” the girl exclaimed. She told the others, and soon all of them put their faces against the window, waiting for the of Brunswick.
Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming , all except Vingo. Vingo sat there , looking at the oak tree. It was almost with yellow handkerchiefs, 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like a huge flag of , blowing in the wind. As the young people shouted, the old man rose and his way to the front of the bus to go home.

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative (保守) person who is only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous, embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤车) any morning or evening to the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的).
, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once , makes the offender immediately the object of .
One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n) to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it . Some people argue that it is because the British weather follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases, to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate – or as inaccurate – as the weathermen in his .
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大) and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his . If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n) subject to which a response may well be of even the most reserved of the British.
