There were colorful flowers everywhere. He saw bees and butterflies.

Digging up the butterfly bushes (灌木) made the butterflies go away. With no butterflies, there were no caterpillars. With no caterpillars, the birds had nothing to eat, so they left, too.” The boy said, “Yes. Everything in nature works with each other. Plant flowers and butterfly bushes, and the bees and butterflies will come back. Then the birds will come back too.” So the farmer planted new butterfly bushes and more flowers.

But he is afraid of one thing, the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器). Every Saturday morning, Mum cleans the house. First she runs the cleaner in the living room. Hero hides in the kitchen. We always laugh at Hero. “Why are you afraid?” We ask, “The vacuum cleaner can’t hurt you.” But sometimes I am afraid of things, too. I am afraid to be alone in the dark. And I know the dark can’t hurt me. I guess it’s the same way with Hero. He is afraid without knowing why. A few weeks ago, Mum brought my new baby sister home. Her name is Barbie. She has a room of her own. Hero seems to know it is hers. Last Saturday, Mum was cleaning the house again. Barbie was sleeping in her room. Hero was in the living room. Mum began to run the cleaner in the living room. Hero jumped out from a chair. He ran towards my room. But then he stopped. He sat down at Barbie’s door. Mum went on running the cleaner. She ran it closer and closer to Hero. But Hero didn’t move! Then Mum ran the cleaner right up to his front feet. Hero shook all over. He was really afraid. But he didn’t let Mum get by. “You can’t take the cleaner into Barbie’s room,” he seemed to say, “I am taking care of Barbie.” Mum says that Hero has the right name. He is a real hero.

But someone thinks birdwatching is often boring. In fact, a study published in 2024 shows that even half an hour of birdwatching could make us happier, healthier and help us get close to nature. Even listening to birds indoors through an open window can change our bad feelings. The study also shows that it is better to watch birds than to take a walk. So why is birdwatching so good for us? Biophilia (亲生物性) could be a big part of it. It means that humans have a good relationship with nature—some would think that we should see ourselves as part of nature—so being in nature makes us feel well. But biodiversity (生物多样性) is important too. The study shows that biodiversity is a natural medicine for humans that can help us relax and do more activities. Another reason is that after being careful to do birdwatching, we can get happiness and know a lot about birds. The study also shows that noticing wildlife in nature can make us get closer to nature and learn more about it. So birdwatching can make us feel happy. So, take your binoculars (双筒望远镜) and walk into nature for birdwatching to help you relax and be happy. Enjoy every moment and have fun. 1．What benefit can half an hour of birdwatching bring according to the study in 2024? A．It can make us richer. B．It can make us happier and healthier. C．It can make us more beautiful. D．It can make us more intelligent. 2．The underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to ________. A．why Biophilia is helpful to us B．why biodiversity is so important C．why we are part of our nature D．why birdwatching is good for us 3．What is the correct structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．To introduce the way of taking a walk. B．To explain the importance of biodiversity. C．To encourage people to go birdwatching for fun and health. D．To show the relationship between humans and nature. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了观鸟对人类健康的益处，包括能让人更快乐、更健康，还解释了其中的原因，鼓励人们参与观鸟活动。 1．细节理解题。根据“In fact, a study published in 2024 shows that even half an hour of birdwatching could make us happier, healthier and help us get close to nature.”可知，2024年的研究显示观鸟半小时能让我们更快乐、更健康。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“So why is birdwatching so good for us?

Whenever he heard the mailbox being opened, he would run over, carry the mail in his mouth and drop it at the lady’s feet. Zebby would even bring Genevieve her slippers (拖鞋)! Later, Zebby was named Britain’s National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection. According to the largest cat charity, Zebby stood out from about 3,000 other cats because of his great service.

Every Saturday morning, Mum cleans the house. First she runs the cleaner in the living room. Hero hides in the kitchen. We always laugh at Hero. “Why are you afraid?” We ask, “The vacuum cleaner can’t hurt you.” But sometimes I am afraid of things, too. I am afraid to be alone in the dark. And I know the dark can’t hurt me. I guess it’s the same way with Hero. He is afraid without knowing why. A few weeks ago, Mum brought my new baby sister home. Her name is Barbie. She has a room of her own. Hero seems to know it is hers. Last Saturday, Mum was cleaning the house again. Barbie was sleeping in her room. Hero was in the living room. Mum began to run the cleaner in the living room. Hero jumped out from a chair. He ran towards my room. But then he stopped. He sat down at Barbie’s door. Mum went on running the cleaner.

There was something about hiking (远足) that made them feel wide awake and excited to start the day as their eyes were open. The family had a simple breakfast. They discussed the plan for the day at table. “Dad and I looked at a map last night,” said Mrs. Smith. “We found a nearby trail (小径). There are many interesting things along the way, and best of all, there will be a surprise at the end of the trail.” “What kind of surprise?” asked Jenny. “It won’t be a surprise if we tell you,” laughed her mom. “The sooner you get ready to go, the sooner you’ll find out.” They set out for hiking soon. It was a good day for seeing wildlife. Along the trail, the trees were filled with kinds of birds flying around. Hearing a noise in the grass, they stopped and saw two rabbits crossing the trail. After a while, Mike noticed several monkeys in the trees and Mr. Smith took photos before they ran away. Then, they continued their hiking. Jenny and Mike were discussing what kind of snake they had just seen on the way. At this moment, they came to an open area with some small pools. The kids’ eyes grew wide. They looked at their parents. “Is this the surprise?” asked Mike in excitement. Mr. and Mrs. Smith smiled as they walked over to one of the small pools. Steam (蒸汽) rose into the air. “They’re hot springs (温泉),” explained Mr. Smith. “The heat is produced from inside Earth.” “Could we have a bath (洗澡) in the spring if we have our bathing suits?” asked Jenny.

But someone thinks birdwatching is often boring. In fact, a study published in 2024 shows that even half an hour of birdwatching could make us happier, healthier and help us get close to nature. Even listening to birds indoors through an open window can change our bad feelings. The study also shows that it is better to watch birds than to take a walk. So why is birdwatching so good for us? Biophilia (亲生物性) could be a big part of it. It means that humans have a good relationship with nature—some would think that we should see ourselves as part of nature—so being in nature makes us feel well. But biodiversity (生物多样性) is important too. The study shows that biodiversity is a natural medicine for humans that can help us relax and do more activities. Another reason is that after being careful to do birdwatching, we can get happiness and know a lot about birds. The study also shows that noticing wildlife in nature can make us get closer to nature and learn more about it. So birdwatching can make us feel happy. So, take your binoculars (双筒望远镜) and walk into nature for birdwatching to help you relax and be happy. Enjoy every moment and have fun. 1．What benefit can half an hour of birdwatching bring according to the study in 2024? A．It can make us richer. B．It can make us happier and healthier.

A．why Biophilia is helpful to us B．why biodiversity is so important C．why we are part of our nature D．why birdwatching is good for us 3．What is the correct structure of the passage?

Thousands of people watch pandas eat bamboo online. Now, the zoo has many fans on Douyin. In Jiangsu, a cute monkey named Kai Sa becomes a star at Nanjing Forest Safari Park.
