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 all3. （4分） BBC News on TV, radio and online often brings you stories from across the world.

So which country, not including English-speaking countries, speaks English best? And where does China rank (排名)?Swedish language education company EF published their 2016 English Proficiency Index (熟练度指标) this month. The Netherlands (荷兰) ranked first, followed by Denmark and Sweden. The rankings are based on English reading and listening test results of 950,000 people from 72 countries and areas.According to the index, the English proficiency in China is still low, ranking 39th. Out of the whole country, people in Shanghai are the best English speakers. They speak better English than Italians and French.

However, across China, proficiency in English is different from east to west.China has 400 million English learners, reported China Daily. However, the teaching of English in some areas is not very good. According to the Peoples Daily Online, there are seven primary schools in Shetianqiao town in Hunan, but only one English teacher. Many students still learn English by rote memorization.Sebastian Magnusson, an officer at the Swedish embassy (大使馆) in Beijing, gave some advice. Swedish people speak English well and Magnusson himself is also fluent in Chinese. He said TV programs, movies and even computer games could be learning tools. Do not limit it to textbooks.
