It was a windy day. I had kept an empty, washed glass bottle on the patio(露台) for drying, which I intended to use for some craft project. Because of the wind, the bottle rolled, fell and broke on my downstairs neighbor's patio.
My neighbor uses his patio frequently (频繁的), SO I immediately went down to warn him about the broken glass. However, he was not at home. I took a broom and cleaned up Most of the mess around his patio from outside, but there was still some broken glass left inside his patio. I didn't want to
intrude (闯入) into his property（财产）, so I left him a note that explained what happened and asked him to contact me, so I could clean up the mess（凌乱）．
After an hour, he called me, and asked if I could help clean up inside, because he didn't have a broom. I went to his place and happily swept of f his patio, clearing the broken glass.
While I was leaving, he thanked me. He remarked that, normally, his neighbors wouldn't even
have bothered to inform him that the glass had broken, and he would have probably hurt his feet. I was glad to have connected with him, and extra glad that his feet were safe. And I returned home with a reason to smile for the rest of the day!

One morning as I was on my way to work, I was shocked by a sharp, tense (紧张的) call of a bird. The sound was coming from somewhere in the branches of the oak tree.
This was not the usual bird song. Instead, this was a call of danger, and it didn't take long for me to discover what it was about. As I looked around, I noticed a baby bird sitting on the ground under the oak tree, while the mother bird was flying in the sky and calling its baby. That's where the birdsong came from. Clearly, this baby was on its first flight and had some difficulty.
I'm sure that it needed some help. I went to see ifl could place it back in its nest（巢）. But when I went near, I suddenly realized that it would not be helpful to give that help, because it might make the mother bird fly away rather than try to go near. And ifl placed it back, it would surely lose a chance to learn how to fly. So I stopped and stepped back.
Later, as I saw it fly away safely with its mom, I knew everything was OK for the birds. It was then that I got a better understanding of my purpose in this situation and in life. I am not the savior(救世主); I am just a usual person. Sometimes the road to hell is paved with good intentions（好心办坏事）．
1. The baby bird's call was_______. A. frightened and nervous B. weak and nervous C. low and frightened D. low and weak 2. The writer spent a short time finding out _______.

A. The writer was on the way home when he heard the call of a bird. B. The writer spent a long time putting the bird in the nest. C. The mother bird fled away when it saw the writer. D. The baby flew away with its mother safely at last. 5. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The first flight B. The two birds C. An interesting experience D. The bird's call 参考答案
