     The clock had just struck 11 when I first became aware of a noise coming from the lift. I opened

 the door of our flat and listened: Someone was beating against the door of-the lift and calling out at 

the same time.             

     "What's wrong?" I shouted. "The door is stuck. I can't get out." The answer came back. The voice, 

which sounded like that of a girl, came from several floors  below.               

     My wife had now joined me and she went off directly in search of the night porter. After calling to

 the girl that help was on its way, I went back into the flat to get some tools.  Then I hurried down the

 stairs until I reached the place where the lift was stuck. 

     I tried my hard at forcing open the lift door, taking all the while to the girl trapped inside, but-my

 tools were no use for this purpose. Very soon, however, my wife returned. Unable to find the porter, 

she had called the police; who promised to send an engineer. For good measure she had also contacted

 the fire service.     

     First the engineer turned up, accompanied by two policemen. Almost immediately afterwards the 

firemen arrived, too. With his special equipment it took the engineer only a short while to get the door 

open. In spite of her experience, the girl was in good spirits.  "I'm hungry." was her only complaint as 

she stepped out of her cage.

探究题

认真阅读下面几则材料,就“鸟类与人类的关系”说说自己的发现。

       材料一:宋代葛天民的《迎燕》诗:“咫尺春三月,寻常百姓家。为迎新燕入,不下旧帘遮。翅湿沾微雨,泥香带落花。巢成雏长大,相伴过年华。”台湾郭枫在《空山鸟语》中写道:“真的是鹧鸪么?在台湾很少听到鹧鸪呢!鹧鸪该是鸟中的诗人,不,或者便是诗人的化身吧!就那缥缈的几声,便会把人拉回到一个古老的世界。‘咕咕——’,我回到了江南。”

       材料二:飞鸽传书捎佳音,黄雀晨鸣唤学子,燕子春归知时令。从古到今,人们的生活与鸟类息息相关。通过对鸟类飞行的观察研究,经过多次的试验和失败,人类制成了滑翔机,并最终于1903年12月制造成功现代的飞机,这大大缩短了人们交往活动的空间距离。

       材料三:蜂鸟在茂密的树林中飞行时,那是前后左右,随心所欲,灵活自如。而目前,一架高性能的超音速歼击机,想要在12000米的高空转个弯,那至少也得绕一个半径10000米左右的大圈子。
