根据短文内容，完成下列小题。

    Canadian Geese are large blue and white birds. When autumn comes, they have to fly south where the weather is warmer. The winters are so cold in Canada that the birds will die if they stay there.

    Last spring, Bill Lishman found sixteen young Canadian Geese on his farm. They had lost their parents. Bill thought, "These young birds won't know what to do in the autumn." He had a small plane and he decided to teach the birds to follow him. All through the summer, he went on short trips in his plane and the young geese flew after him.

    When the cold weather arrived in the autumn, Bill flew to Virginia in the United States, 600 miles south of his home in Canada. The geese followed him all the way. Bill left the geese in Virginia and he returned home.

    This spring, Bill was waiting for the birds to come back. They didn't arrive, so Bill flew to Virginia to get them. He looked for them for two weeks, but he couldn't find them. When he arrived back home, he found the geese waiting for him. They had found their way home without him!

是____.

西部扬帆

我等得太久太长，

祖辈都有富裕的梦想，

啊！高原的罡^①风、大漠的太阳，

没有吹弯我负重的脊梁，

未晒干我图强的渴望。

撕开千年的屏障，

露出宽阔的胸膛，

迎接西部的机遇，

拥抱开发的曙光。

我等得太久太久，

终于等来大船的起航，

啊！喊一声号子振一回臂膀，

冲一次那开发的巨浪，

冒一回那风险的潮涨。

更新岁月的万象，

抖落历史的荒凉，

奏响时代的绝唱，

披上世纪的盛装。

【注释】①罡（gāng）：强烈。
