HOW THE KIWI LOST ITS WINGS

The people of New Zealand (   ) themselves Kiwis. The kiwi is a strange bird. (   )(   ),
when the explorers (   ) it to them, the English people did not believe them (   )(   ).
The kiwi cannot fly and (   ) in holes it makes in the ground. The emu and the ostncr
(   )(   ) the same family, but the kiwi is smaller than (   )(   ) member of this family
Why can't the kiwi fly? Why does it live in the dark and damp forest floor? Here is a 
Maori legend that (   ) these questions.

One day the King of the Forest, Tanemahuta, was (   ) through the woods
His children, the trees, (   )very sick. Bugs (   ) on the forest floor were (   )
the trees. The trees looked (   ) sick (   )Tanemahuta said,"I'm afraid the forest wll
, die if nothing is (   ) about this."Tanemahuta (   ) his brother Tbnehokahoka, the
King of the Sky, about the bugs and the trees.

(   ) Tanehokahoka wanted to help his brother, he called all the birds together
for a meeting. He said to them,"The ground bugs are eating the trees. We want to
(   ) one of you (   ) come down from the forest roof and live on the forest floor to eat
the bugs and (   ) the trees. Who will do that for us?"
All was quiet, and not a bird spoke.

So Tanehokahoka (   ) to Tui ang said,"Tui, will you come down from the forest roof for us ?
Tui looked up at the trees and (   ) the sunlight (   ) through the leaves. Then he looked down
at the forest floor and saw the cold, dark earth. He was (   ). "Oh no, Tanehokahoka,"said Tui. "It's too dark and I'm (   ) of the dark. (   )(   ) bird in the forest is (   ) afraid of the dark (   ) I am."

All was quiet, and not a bird spoke.

Tanehokahoka turned to Pukeko."Pukeko, will you come down from the forest roof for us?
Pukeko looked down at the cold, (   ) earth of the forest floor."Oh no, Tanehokahoka,"said Pukeko."It's too (   ) and I don't like (   ) my feet we I hate the damp earth (   ) than
(   )(   ) bird in the forest."

All was quiet, and not a bird spoke.

Next Tanehokahoka turned to Pipiwharauroa."Pipiwharauroa, will you com
down from the forest roof for us?"

Pipiwharauroa looked around at his family."Oh no, Tanehokahoka" said
Pipiwharauroa."I'm too (   )(   ) a nest for my family. I'm (   )(   ) busy(   )
(   )(   ) bird in the forest."

All was quiet, and not a bird spoke.

Tanehokahoka was very sad. He just didn't know
(   )(   ) do. He said to Tanemahuta,"If (   )(   ) the bird
doesn't come down from the forest roof for us, th,
forest will (   ) and all the birds will (   )their home."

Finally Tanehokahoka turned to Kiwi."Kiwi, will you come down from the forest roof for us?"
Kiwi looked around at his family. Then he looked at the cold, damp earth. He turned to
Tanehokahoka and said,"I will." Tanemahuta and Tanehokahoka were very
happy to hear Kiwi's answer. They (   ) Kiwi and said to (   )(   ),"Kiwi will save
the forest."

However, Tanemahuta (   ) to warn Kiwi."Kiwi, if you do this, you've got to have such thick, strong legs that you can tear apart the branches on the ground.
You've got to lose your beautiful wings and colorful feathers so that you can blend
in with the color of the forest floor. You will never (   )(   )(   ) return to your life in
the sky and you will never see the light of day again."
All was quiet, and not a bird spoke.

"So let me ask yoll again. Kiwi, will you come down from the forest roof to
save the forest and (   )(   ) other birds?"

Kiwi (   ) one last look at the sun and said a (   ) goodbye. He looked at the
other birds' beautiful wings and colorful (   ) and said a silent goodbye. Then
he tumed to Tanehokahoka and said,"I will."
Tanehokahoka turned to the other birds and said,"Tui, since you were (   ) scared (   ) come down, (   )(   )(   ) you will wear two white feathers on your neck (   ) the sign of a coward. Pukeko, since you did not want to (   )your feet wet, you will live forever in the (   ). Pipiwharauroa, since you were (   ) busy(   ) your nest, you will never build (   )nest again but will lay your eggs in other birds' nests. But you, Kiwi, (   )(   ) your great sacrifice, you will become (   )(   )famous and best-loved (   ) all the (   ) in the forest. 

The UNION JACK

(  )the flag, or"(  ) the colors,"has become very popular (  )(  ) in times of war (  )(  ) m times of peace, especially at sports events like the
World Cup or the Olympic Games. The colors and design of a nation's fag stand
for that country's land, its people and its history.
Japan's"(  ) sun"Hag, (  ) its bright red sun (  ) a white field, is (  ) of the
(  ) flags in the world. America's flag, (  )(  )(  )(  ), is quite complicated.
It has thirteen red and white stripes, (  ) for the first thirteen colonies, and fifty
white stars on a blue field, (  ) for the fifty states of America today.
The flag Tom saw (  )(  ) the football stadium was the flag of England
(  ) is the red cross of St. George on a white field. Scotland also has its (  ) flag,
the cross of St. Andrew. It is a white cross in the shape of an X on a blue field. An
old legend (  ) that St. Andrew appeared to a Scottish hero (  ) the night (  ) a
great victory in battle.
Finally, in 1801, when Ireland (  ) (  ) with Great Britain ((  ) consists
of England, Scotland and Wales), the red cross of St. Patrick, (  ) is also in the
shape of an X. was added to the Union Flag. The flag you see (  ) over British
government buildings is not the English flag. It is the flag of the United Kingdom
(U. K.) of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or, (  ) simply, the"Union Jack."


THE CONVERSATION BALL
Both Mary and Susan are (  ) about volleyball. Susan (  ) Mary an essay she
(  ) for her school paper, (  ) compares the art of conversation to volleyball.

Conversation is an art. Some people can talk with (  )(  ) easily and
pleasantly. Others are not very good at conversation. Some have the art naturally,
but many must work hard (  ) get it.

It (  ) two to have a pleasant conversation. If one (  )and the other just
(  ), [hat is not a real conversation. (  ) must want to speak to (  )(  ) and
continue the conversation.
I'm quite (  ) (  ) volleyball and a good conversation can (  ) (  ) to a
'good game of volleyball. In a volleyball game two teams (  ) the ball to (  )(  )
across the net. The important thing is not to (  ) the ball. You must hit the ball
back to (  )(  ) side. If you (  ) it, you lose a point.

In a conversation, too, the important thing is (  )(  )drop the ball. If someone
in a group (  )"Where are you from?"and you only say"Wimbledon,"you
(  ) the ball. Another person must (  ) up the ball and (  ) it to you again.

Maybe she asks,"(  ) (  ) to get a (  ) with a boy that doesn't
(  ) (  ) in you?"If you only answer,"Yeah, a couple of times,"and add (  ), you (  )
dropped the bati again. If you keep (  )(  ) the ball like that and never learn (  ) and
(  ) to add something yourself, the others will give (  )(  ) to talk (  ) you. 
So if you want to learn (  ) (  ) keep the conversation ball in the air, you should
add something about yourself or ask one of (  )(  ) a question. For example.
(  ) You say"Wimbledon, " you can ask,"Have you (  ) watched the Wimbledon
Championships on TV?"(  )(  )(  ) you hit the ball back and the game (  ) on.
(  ) when you're asked about (  ) a date, you can say,"Yeah. I (  ) a couple of
times and once it (  ). " Then someone can ask you (  )(  ) do it, (  )(  ) say,
(  )(  ) go and so on.
(  ) you talk with (  ), there are two things to avoid. One is talking
too much, and (  )(  ) is talking too little. Talking too much (  ) you sound
self-centered, and talking too little (  ) you're not trying hard (  )(  ) keep the
ball (  ). Gradually you'll also learn (  )(  ) pick up the ball when others drop
it. Maybe you'll also discover (  )(  ) help shy people (  ) the conversation, too.
ln the anr of conversation, just like in volleyball,"practice makes perfect'
