六、跨学科·生物 阅读理解
Do you know anything about the balance (平衡) of nature? Here is an example.
Not many years ago, some farmers were worried because hawks (鹰) took many of their chickens, so the farmers killed many hawks. They no longer had to worry about their chickens. But then they had new worries. Mice ate the farmers’ food. How did this happen?
25
Hawks ate not only chickens but also mice. They ate more mice than chickens. But the farmers did not know this. When they killed many hawks, they changed the balance of nature.
Changing the balance is bad for nature. Sometimes when people move into a new place, they cut down many plants. Some of these plants are good for animals. If the animals cannot find food to eat, they will die or have to leave the place.
26
Here is another example. In a place in the United States, the giraffes there ate a kind of rose; the lions there ate the giraffes. The number of giraffes, lions and wild roses would not change much if people kept things as they were. But people killed many lions to protect the giraffes. Soon there were so many giraffes that they ate up all the roses. Then the giraffes began to eat leaves of young trees.
27
These trees were important to people. So people thought of ways to protect trees. Now the giraffes had nothing to eat, and many of them died. This was another lesson from nature.
Please always keep this in mind: it ’s important for us to keep the balance of nature.

时文阅读—讲好中国故事 水利工程让位于燕巢
People stopped the building of a water project in June, 2024. They did so to protect a group of swallows. These swallows live on the earthen cliff (土质悬崖) along the Yongding River, and they would like to live somewhere quiet. Bird lovers were happy with the decision.
27
The cliff faces west. It is over 30 meters long and nearly 20 meters high. It looks bright under the sunlight, making a beautiful picture. From around 100 meters away, people can see about 200 caves in the cliff, each about the size of an apple, with brown swallows flying in and out.
28
“I visited this group of swallows some weeks ago. In recent years, around late April to early May, they come here to build their homes, and then fly away by early July,” said an official. “The water project started in June, but it already stopped its activities last week.”
“I have met bird lovers during my work. I understand their feelings. The water project is important to the city, but we will still do something to save the birds.
29
We are thinking about changing the project’s route to make sure the swallows can keep living in the cliff in the future,” said the official.
