Long ago, Bluebird's feathers were the colour of dust. She did not like her ugly colour. She was attracted by the colour of the lake near her home. It was as blue as the 1 after a storm. Bluebird wanted to be the colour of that beautiful lake 2 .
Flapping her wings one morning, Bluebird flew from her tree to the blue lake. Then she bathed in the water three times. After each bath, she sang," Blue water. Still water. I went in. I am blue." Bluebird 3 this every morning. On the third day, she came out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers.

Bluebird didn't 5 Coyote, but she taught him how to bathe three times each morning and how to sing her song.

Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）： As population increased in large cities in the 19th century, building subway lines was a way to move people from one area of a city to another quickly. The first main subway system, the London Underground, started in 1863 using steam trains. Subway developed quickly in London and the system then had more lines. As of 1896, it started to use an electrical system. Today's subways around the world now work on electricity.
Two of the world's earliest subways were built in Paris and New York. When the Paris Metro opened on July 19,1900, citizens were proud of the beautifully decorated station entrances that have been a landmark ever since. Although the first New York subway consisted of only 14.6 kilometers of track in 1904, today it is the world's largest subway system.
Subway trains run in tunnels dug far below the ground. Passengers enter the stations and then take lifts or moving stairs to get on the trains. The deep underground stations of the London and Moscow subways served as safe bomb shelters（防空洞 ）during World War Ⅱ. Today some cities are building new subways and they dig deep for a different reas
on. In Athens, Greece, for example, the city planners don't want to damage the ancient monuments（纪念碑 ）above the ground.
