Q: An American writer, Mr Green once said, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." It is true that everybody talks about the weather. Many people begin their talks by saying, "Isn't it a nice day?" "Do you think it will rain?" "I think it's going to snow." Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But sometimes they don't agree with each other. One man may say, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow." Another man will say, "No, it's going to be fine tomorrow." People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it's going to rain, and he doesn't look for anything else. When friends have a picnic, they hope the weather is going to be fine and they can sit eating their lunch under the blue sky. Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he doesn't always tell us what we want, and sometimes he makes a mistake. Still, he is right most of the time. People sometimes have different ideas about _ . A) what the weather is going to be like B) what we should do about the weather C) how to begin a talk D) how to have fine weather

Q: One windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. 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 string and the cumbersome 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 _ of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose . "Free at last," it seemed to say. "Free to fly with the wind." Yet freedom 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 . How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity 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. In the writer's opinion, _ . A) without restrictions and rules we can make endless progress B) kites are good examples to those who want to get freedom C) restrictions are necessary for us human beings D) we don't need any freedom at all
