If you put a buzzard in a pen(圍欄) six or eight feet square and entirely openat the top, the bird, in spite of his ability to fly, will be an     1   prisoner.The reason is that a buzzard always begins a      2      fromthe ground with a run of ten or twelve feet. Without space to run, as ishis      3   , he will noteven attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a（n）      4   jail with no top.

The ordinary bat that flies aroundat night, who is a       5    nimble(敏捷的) creature in the air, cannot take off from alevel place. If it is placed on the floor or      6     ground,all it can do is shuffle（拖著腳步）about      7   and,no doubt,       8    ,until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can      9     itselfinto the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.

A bumblebee if dropped into an open tumbler（平底無腳酒杯）      10     will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees themeans of       11    atthe top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides nearthe       12    .It will seek a way where none exists, until it      13      destroysitself.

In many ways, there are lots of people likethe buzzard, the bat and the bee. They are    14   aboutwith all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the      15      isright there above them.
