高三年级阅读强化训练(1) 高三备课组日期：2014/9 Many years ago my grandfather had a small farm and chickens. One morning he 31 me out to the chicken coop（鸡舍）to collect fresh eggs. He became 32 when I didn’t return after a short while. When he came 33 me I jumped with joy, but he saw tears in my eyes and noticed that I was in a(n) 34 chicken coop nearby, which could be entered only 35 the same door.

When he 36 my pain and asked, “What was wrong?” I told him 37 , “That nasty rooster,” who was now docile（驯服的）, in my grandfather’s 38 , “came pecking（啄）after me and all the hens started cackling, which scared me, and I ran into the next coop for 39 .” He took me by the hand and we walked right by the now 40 nasty rooster and comfortable nesting hens. We sat under the apple tree, and he related the following story. “Did you notice 41 that rooster and hens behaved when I came in? Totally 42 from when you first came in.” I shouted, “The rooster and hens seemed to pounce on（攻击）me.”

My grandfather then sa id, “That’s a new rooster the neighbor gave me. All your life you are going to 43 people who will act like that rooster and hens. Only in different ways! It’s 44 for that rooster to protect his coop and his hens. The rooster is the 45 and the hens are followers. Same with people! It doesn’t 46 whether they are men or women. There will always be people who will try to 47 your life and if you let them, you will become like the hens.”

“48 to be the leader, you have to first be able to lead your own life and be the rooster of your actions. You can be like the rooster leading the hens. 49 of us in life are followers, like the hens and some stay 50 in their own chicken coops, like you did.”
