One day, four lawyers were riding along a country road. There had been a(n) 36 , and the ground was soft. The lawyers rode 37 , talking and laughing. As they were passing through a 38 , they heard some noises in the grass. “What’s the matter here?” asked one man. “Oh, it’s only some old robins (知更鸟)!” said another one, “The 39 has blown them out of the nest. They are too young to 40 .” “What a 41 ! They’ll die,” said the third one. “Well! They’re nothing but 42 ,” said the first lawyer. The three men looked down and saw the mother robin 43 to her mates. Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. In a few minutes they had 44 the birds. But the fourth lawyer, whose name was Abraham Lincoln, 45 . He got down from his 46 and gently took the little ones up. They didn’t seem 47 , but chirped (唧唧叫) softly, as if they knew they were safe. “Never 48 , my little fellows,” said Mr. Lincoln. Then he looked up to find the nest from which they had 49 . It was much higher than he could reach. But Mr. Lincoln could 50 . He put the birds softly, one by one, into their warm home. In a few minutes, Mr. Lincoln 51 the others. He had torn his coat on the thorny (多刺的) tree. Then all three of them 52 heartily. They thought it so 53 that a strong man should take so much trouble just for some worthless young birds. “Gentlemen,” said Mr. Lincoln, “I couldn’t have 54 tonight if I had left those helpless robins to die in the 55 grass.” Abraham Lincoln afterwards became President of America. 小题1: A．war B．earthquake C．fire D．rain 小题2: A．calmly B．nervously C．slowly D．frequently 小题3: A．forest B．room C．street D．city 小题4: A．snow B．storm C．light D．flood 小题5: A．fly B．speak C．move D．eat 小题6: A．success B．shame C．pity D．case 小题7: A．trees B．pets C．children D．birds 小题8: A．dancing B．pointing C．singing D．crying 小题9: A．dealt with B．forgotten about C．cared for D．turned to 小题10: A．shouted B．stopped C．considered D．insisted 小题11: A．wall B．car C．horse D．truck 小题12: A．frightened B．tired C．interested D．touched 小题13: A．stay B．mind C．stand D．rest 小题14: A．learned B．come C．fallen D．heard 小题15: A．drive B．climb C．cook D．run 小题16: A．noticed B．blamed C．visited D．joined 小题17: A．laughed B．jumped C．worked D．cried 小题18: A．lucky B．clear C．foolish D．erous 小题19: A．changed B．returned C．read D．slept 小题20: A．wet B．green C．small D．fresh
