She wanted to find out what hell was.When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to hell and see what hell looked like. However, she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as a gift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate cage and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldnt find out what hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldnt escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly.

It may seem sad to think that they dont remember what theyve eaten or where theyve been, and they dont recognize you or any of their friends - every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But dont be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago.In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.Researchers used puter software to monitor the fishs movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively（挑衅地）in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.12. What is the article mainly about? A. Fish having very bad memories. B. Fish being smarter than we thought. C. How fish improve their memory. D. What we can learn from fish.13. According to the article, people used to believe that _. A. fish could only remember part of their past experiences B. fish could remember things that happened 12 days ago C. a fishs memory lasted for only seven minutes D. fish didnt recognize any of their friends14. How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _. A. where to get food and survive B. their enemies and fight C. where to escape to when in danger D. their friends and help each other15. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Fish behave aggressively in a fight. B. Fish can remember more. C. Fish dont belong to the list of smart animals. D. Only African cichlids have a good memory.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The eyes are the windows of the soul.
