Some migrate long distances. They know exactly where to fly, without a compass! Migrating birds often fly thousands of kilometres. They find their way back to the same place year after year. Even young birds that have not migrated before seem to know which way to go. In Europe, you may see big groups of swallows sitting on telephone wires. As the weather gets colder in autumn, they get ready to fly away to warmer countries. These birds fly south to Africa for the winter. They will return north to Europe to breed next summer. Birds have many ways to prepare for their migration journey. The little sedge warbler (水蒲苇莺) doubles its weight by eating lots of insects just before it leaves Europe. It flies 9,000 kilometres. It travels without stopping for four days to spend winter in South Africa. Bar-headed geese (斑头雁) breed in Tibet (西藏). They then fly over the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山) to India. They have to fly at a height of over 6,000 metres to get over the huge mountains. Other birds, such as cranes, also fly high over mountains. 11.

She takes it with her when she goes to school, when she goes shopping with her friends, and even when she goes to the dentist! So for her birthday, I decided to surprise her.

On the morning of Sharon’s birthday, I quietly went into her room and left the present there. I then went into the dining room and had breakfast.

As always, I was running late and I wasn’t sure if I would get on the boat on time. Luckily, I was able to catch the boat and start my trip. I was going to work on a small island. It was just one of those days when things were not going right for me. I sat in a corner of the boat with my backpack next to me. I wanted to be alone and I didn’t want anyone to talk to me. Thinking quietly to myself, I looked up at the sky. I saw some clouds that looked like giving me a thumbs-up sign. It looked so perfect that I couldn’t help smiling. Seeing the shape of the clouds made me feel relaxed and calm. It seemed to tell me that everything was going to be all right. Life is not always perfect. We might be surprised by the bad things that happen to us. Sometimes, things feel messy, while at other times, it feels like you have it all together. We should learn to take it all in, stop for a while and appreciate what we have, whether it’s something big or something small. Remember to smile and look up at the sky. You never know when you might see something that brightens your day. (选自《初中英语阅读》八年级上册) 31. What did the writer hear? _____________________ 32.

As always, I was running late and I wasn’t sure if I would get on the boat on time. Luckily, I was able to catch the boat and start my trip. I was going to work on a small island. It was just one of those days when things were not going right for me. I sat in a corner of the boat with my backpack next to me. I wanted to be alone and I didn’t want anyone to talk to me. Thinking quietly to myself, I looked up at the sky. I saw some clouds that looked like giving me a thumbs-up sign. It looked so perfect that I couldn’t help smiling. Seeing the shape of the clouds made me feel relaxed and calm. It seemed to tell me that everything was going to be all right. Life is not always perfect. We might be surprised by the bad things that happen to us. Sometimes, things feel messy, while at other times, it feels like you have it all together. We should learn to take it all in, stop for a while and appreciate what we have, whether it’s something big or something small. Remember to smile and look up at the sky. You never know when you might see something that brightens your day. (选自《初中英语阅读》八年级上册) 31. What did the writer hear? _____________________ 32.
