Multicolored kites of various shapes and sizes filled the skies __1__ beautiful birds dancing. __2__ the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in check(在控制中). Instead of blowing away with the wind, __3__ rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (限制的) string and __4__ heavy tail kept them in check, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be __5__!” They soared(翱翔) beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly __6__ the wind.” Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic breeze. It fell __7__ to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds. Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the restraints that we may be annoyed about are actually the steadying force |
