四、任务型阅读
阅读下面的短文，完成短文后的问题。
Say No to Caged (笼中的) Birds
When I was nine years old, my parents bought me a cockatie (鸡尾鹦鹉) from a local pet store. I named him Bubba. Like any young kid, I was excited to have a new friend.
After a few weeks, however, the feelings of excitement disappeared (消失). It’s no big surprise that, being a kid, I was not prepared for taking care of Bubba. Neither were my parents. Bubba had to live his life in a small, dirty cage. Unable to stretch (伸展) his wings, he was bored out of his mind. The bird ended up living a much shorter life than in the wild.
It’s a sad story, but, unfortunately, it happened to many birds. No bird was born to live in a cage, yet millions of birds are in cages. Many of these birds die young.
Most people buy pet birds by accident. They have no idea how much time, money and energy will be needed to care for them. When the cute and beautiful the birds in the pet stores turned out to be noisy, their owners became bored with them, so many are abandoned (遗弃). Because of the boredom and loneliness, they may pull out their own feathers or peck (啄) over and over again at their cages.
How can you help Well, it’s very simple. Please never buy a caged bird. Let more people know that birds never belong in cages.
41．How did the author feel when his parents bought him a cockatie
42．Why did Bubba feel bored
43．Why do many pet birds get abandoned in the end
