七年级培优阅读综合专练 （说明文、记叙文、议论文、应用文） A Why does a pigeon(鸽子) with an olive branch(橄榄枝) in its mouth mean peace(和平)? The Great Flood(洪水) lasted(持续) for 150 days. Noah’s family and all the animals were in a big ship. One day, the rain stopped. Noah sent a crow(乌鸦) out of the big ship, but it didn’t come back. Then Noah sent a pigeon and the pigeon came back after seven days. Noah knew the land was far away. Another seven days passed, Noah sent the pigeon out of the big ship again. In the evening the pigeon came back with a green olive branch in its mouth. This time Noah knew the land was near. He was very happy. Noah and his family and all the animals got out of the big ship when they reached the land. They built houses and started to farm. Noah had many sons and daughters.
