A long time ago,there was an emperor.He had a beautiful garden.In the garden,there was a littlenightingale(夜莺)singing very beautifully.

One day the emperor heard about this little bird’s beautiful voice.He asked his guards to bring her to him.As soon as the emperor heard the nightingale’s voice,he said,“Put her in a golden cage,so she can stay and sing for me whenever I want to hear her.”

The little bird was so unhappy about being kept in the cage that she stopped singing one day.The emperor was very angry.He ordered the scientists in his palace to make a robot bird for him.The bird could sing very beautifully,too.The emperor was pleased.

Soon the robot bird became old.It no longer sang beautiful songs.Just at that time,theemperor became very weak.One morning,while lying in bed,the emperor wanted it to sing once again.But the robot bird couldn’t sing any more.Suddenly the nightingale landed on the window.She began to sing her most beautiful song.The emperor was very happy!He became better and better each day.

三、阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案回答问题或完成句子。

Lightning(闪电)is shocking,and it happens all over the world!Scientists think that there are more than three million lightningstrikes(袭击)every day in the world—that’s thirty strikes every second.

Lightning can also be very dangerous.Every year,lightning kills people because it can start big fires or because it reaches temperatures up to 28,000 degrees centigrade.American Roy Sullivan,who worked in a park,holds the record for surviving the most lightning strikes. Between 1942 and 1983,he was hit seven times!

So,why does lightning strike?Lightning strikes happen when ice and water in cloudsrub (摩擦)together,and causeatmospheric(大气层的)changes.When this happens,it creates a staticcharge(静电电荷).Lightning can strike inside the cloud,between two clouds and between a cloud and Earth.It’s the last type of strike that is the most dangerous for humans.About 1,000 people get struck by lightning every year in the United States,and about 100 of them die as a result.

Lightning is certainly not something to toy with.When lightning strikes,it’s best to stay inside a large building.To stay safe,do not stand under trees,on hills or near water.Trees attract lightning.Also,do not lie down on the ground,otherwise the electricity may go through you and cause a heart disease.
