Ⅳ. Read the passage and choose the best answers.
Once upon a time, a farmer kept a pigeon. The pigeon lived in a cage every day. She didn’t need to go out to look for food. The farmer gave her some food to eat. She didn’t have a chance to fly out. She didn’t take exercise at all. Then the pigeon became fatter and fatter. The pigeon was pleased with her life. She thought, “How lucky I am! I’m given lots to eat, and I don’t have to look for anything by myself.”
One day, a crow flew into the farmer’s house and stopped by the pigeon’s cage. The pigeon saw the crow and began to talk with him. She said, “You must be tired because you have to look for food by yourself. Don’t you wish you could live as well as me?” “No,” said the crow as he flew off. “I’d rather be free to hunt for my own food than stay in the cage like you. I’m sure you will be put in an oven and cooked for dinner.”
