The rubbish includes cigarette butts (烟头) and plastic bags. A group of European scientists looked into about 35, 000 studies on bird nests. They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth, not including Antarctica. Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds like putting it in their nests.

The toxic (有毒的) chemicals in cigarettes hurt their babies. They may get sick or have shorter lives, according to a 2014 study.

Pieces of fishing net may also trap birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If their babies eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt.

Now most of them have moved into new flats. The living conditions are becoming better. In the past, people travelled around the city on foot or by bicycle, but now they can go ground by bus or underground. For travelling, they hardly took a trip in the past, now they can not only travel within the country, but also also travel abroad.

In 2008, ruanmuhua was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). Chen Kongguo, a 73-year-old man from Fujian Province, started to learn the skill at 13 and has spent his life working on ruanmuhua. Making such an artwork is not easy. There are different kinds of things like buildings trees on ruanmuhua, but every artist usually does well in one kind of them. It’s because the skill is very hard to learn. So it needs several people to work together on one artwork. “We usually start by carving small pieces, and we’ll stick all the small pieces together to make up a work,” Chen Kongguo continued. Chen Kongguo is good at carving buildings. Every time he begins, he has to visit the building himself and then use a computer to make a smaller model. “If there’s a small change, the whole work can not be finished,” Chen Kongguo said. “After many years of working as a ruanmuhua creator, I even get to know more about Chinese-style buildings.” he added. 26.

I caught a rope and climbed on board. As my little boat went down to the bottom of the sea, I climbed to safety on the board, realizing that my only way of running away—my little boat—was lost. I soon saw two pirates (海盗) lying on the board. One was dead, the other, Israel Hands, was badly hurt and calling for wine. “I am taking over this ship, Mr Hands. You will treat me as your captain (船长).” I said to him. He looked at me unfriendly, but could do nothing. Then we reached an agreement: Hands told me how to sail the ship, I gave him food and drink, and something to tie up his cut. And in three minutes, the ship was sailing easily along the coast of Treasure Island. I found a handkerchief (手帕) to help Hands tie up the cut in his leg. After eating and drinking, he looked better. We soon arrived at the North Inset. We turned into beach, I was busy bringing the ship in safely and forgot to watch Hands. When I turned around, Hands was standing behind me, with a knife in his hand. I quickly climbed up the ropes and prepared both my guns (枪). Hands climbed slowly and painfully after me, his knife in his mouth. “One more move, Mr Hands, and I will kill you!” Suddenly, a knife flew through the air. I fell a sudden pain and both guns fired, and fell into the sea together with him. I was safe. Then I swam ashore (游到岸上). When I arrived at the fort, everything was quiet. —An excerpt (节选) from Treasure Island 32.

A group of European scientists looked into about 35, 000 studies on bird nests. They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth, not including Antarctica. Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds like putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have some chemicals (化学物质), so they can keep insects away and protect their babies. Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger. However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring more harm to birds. The toxic (有毒的) chemicals in cigarettes hurt their babies. They may get sick or have shorter lives, according to a 2014 study. To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If their babies eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt.
