Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train then to fly.
After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly, just keeping still.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He spent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. “ it is unbelievable !” shouted the king. How could you make it happen ”
The farmer replied,“It’s very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”
It is always the same to human beings. We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we just for safety and comfort. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.

There is little doubt that house cat first developed naturally from ancient wild cats．The cleverest relative is the America wild cat which still lives in Africa today．This is understandable because the first house cats came from Africa．
Cats first started to live around people in Egypt about 6，000～7，000 years ago．From Egypt, cats started to move around the world．This is about the same time that Egyptians began storing grain（谷物）in buildings.Scientists used to believe that people tamed cats to catch mice and protect the grain.However, cats don’t like to be told what to do!Now,scientists believed that cats followed the mice and learned to accept people. Finally,some of the cats began to grow comfortable around people, these were smaller cats that needed protection．As these cats and people got used to each other, then they moved in together．Around 5,000 years ago，cats started to live with people．
Soon cats were in Greece，then the Middle East and China.They moved along Egyptian business roads keeping away mice and keeping people around them．After the Romans came to Egypt, they also accepted the cats and brought them to Europe．These cat likely bred（繁殖）with other cats to form the many kinds of house cats we have today．
Cats are relatively recent house animals. House cats still have a lot in common with their wild relatives. Cats sleep a lot to save energy just like wild cats.They will often get food at night as well. House cats are generally peaceful and friendly,but be careful!If a cat feels it is in danger,it will fight back-just like a wild cat．

Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope(绳子) tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链), no cages(笼子). It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller, we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that time, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
How could it be These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.
Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before
