Then I succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, the bird was3so it fluttered (扑腾) in the cage. But finally it was used to living in its new home. I felt very excited with myself and4some beautiful singing.On the second day, the little birds mother flew to the cage with5in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything. I was6to see this. Certainly the mother bird knew how to feed her baby better than I did.The following morning when I went to see my bird, I found it 7on the floor of the cage. I was terribly surprised and sad! What had happened?Arthur Wayne, a famous biologist, happened to8my father at that time. After she knew my story, she explained to me, “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will9bring it poison berries.

Do they have any “secrets” to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obamas “back to school” speech. Here is an excerpt(摘录) from his speech.I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard workthat your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, youre not going to be any of those things.But the truth is, being successful is hard. You wont love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try.Thats OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones whove had the most failures. JK Rowlings first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots (投篮) during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”These people succeeded because they understand that you cant let your failures beat youyou have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.No ones born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work.Dont be afraid to ask questions. Dont be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isnt a sign of weakness; its a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit(承认) when you dont know something, and to learn something new.And even when youre struggling, even when youre discouraged (泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on youdont ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.（1）Why does Barack Obama mention (提到) JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the fourth paragraph?A . To compare these two famous persons.B . To explain that writing and sports are difficult skills.C . To show that the two persons were treated unfairly.D . To prove that failure is the mother of success.（2）Which of the following statements is NOT true?A . No one can be successful without working hard.B . Failure can be good if you treat it in a right way.C . Those who believe in themselves shouldnt ask others for help.D . One should try his best to make his dream come true.（3）Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A . One should change his mind when others give honest advice to him.B . One should believe in himself no matter what difficulty he is faced with.C . One doesnt have to work hard when he has failed several times.D . One doesnt have to take others advice when they get away from him.3. （10分）阅读理解 Sophia is a robot in Saudi Arabia.
