第四天一美文晨读 If you put a buzzard in a pen six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top. The ordinary bat that flies around at night, who is a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash. A bumblebee if dropped into an open tumbler will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself. In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them. 二词汇训练1. He _ _ _ （习惯于）getting up early.2.

Bees must learn which flowers contain their food from the smells of the flowers. 1 the bees do not learn which smells mean food, they will starve. Researchers in Britain found that pesticides 2 (use) by farmers and gardeners can switch off the part of a bees brain that is responsible 3 associating smells with food.

However, the British government does not want to stop the use of the pesticides that may prevent bees from learning. 8 wants to carry out more tests to make sure pesticides are the real reason for the decrease in the number of bees.
