It is a good place to have a picnic. We take the food, fruit and drink out of the car. We sit down under a big tree on the hill and begin to eat.

These caves were very large and people could go into them only with a guide. However, four children decided to explore on their own. They went in the caves with a group, but left the group and walked down the tunnel. They thought it would be fun to explore the cave alone.Soon they came to a hole in the wall.

Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in control.Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom(自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障碍物).How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.（1）Why does the writer write the first paragraph?A . Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites.B . Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers.C . Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites.D . Because he wants to use readers similar life experience to understand the article better.（2）By writing the second and third paragraphs, the writer seems to let the readers know_.A . anyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad endB . what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the groundC . man with freedom cant be like that kite which fell downD . the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kites failure（3）What does the underlined word “restriction” in the second paragraph probably mean?A . 束缚B . 放纵C . 摇摆D . 牵引（4）In the writers opinion, _.A . without restrictions and rules we can make endless progressB . kites are good examples to those who want to get freedomC . restrictions are necessary for us human beingsD . we dont need any freedom at all20. （8分）阅读理解 LostPlease help us find our dog, Max.
