   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 was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly, just keeping still.

   The king called all his falcons 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. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He spent 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 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 just for safety and comfort. We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.

阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

    There is always a shadow of shopping in life. You like this, look at that, and then buy a lot of things and go home. Then you calm down and find out that the shopping doesn't make any sense but waste money. How do you avoid the wrong shopping? I'll give you a few tips today!

⑴Buy good quality — and use it

    It's common for people to almost never use the things they love the most. Why? Often, it's because they want to protect the item. They like it so much and don't want it to be ruined. Instead of using their favourites, they buy much cheaper things for "everyday" use. The smarter way is to put your money on something with good quality and good style that you love very much and enjoy it the most. It stops you from wasting money on unnecessary things.

⑵Play the waiting game

    Before you decide to pay for something you like very much at first sight, wait for at least 20 minutes. Then, after clearing your head, think about how and when you'll actually use the product. Instead of simply choosing to have it or not have it, think for a moment and ask yourself whether there is something else even more important you should buy. It reminds you to save money.

⑶Buy only what you need, right now

    Besides, what makes shopping so alluring (欲罢不能的) is your idea that comes with imagining how a product can be used, such as "I will look like a princess in the evening dress at the ball one day." Before paying for a product, ask yourself if you will use it in the very near future. If the answer is no or not likely, pass.

⑷Buy for the right reason

    Research shows that we may think we're hungry when we are actually thirsty, and think we are tired when we are bored in reality. In other words, we know when we need something to satisfy ourselves, but we're not good at realizing what we truly need. It is smart to always ask yourself why you need the product before you pay for it.
