三、阅读理解

One morning in April, people in a small city in Poland woke up and found a special “house” in their public square. This “house” is made of wood. It is an insect hotel.

What is an insect hotel? Insects are small and weak animals. To help these animals, some people build houses for them in gardens, parks and farms. When winter comes, the insects can find a warm place to live in. They don't need to be afraid of the wind and rain any more. They can live there and give birth to babies. Do you want to make an insect hotel yourself? Here's how to build one for your insect friends.

Step 1: Choosing a place.

The best place to build one is the outside. After all, there are already many insects outside your home. If you have a garden, you can build your hotel near a tree. Or you can just build it in your balcony.

Step 2: Building the house.

The best hotel is made of wood. It's strong. If you cannot find any wood, empty paper boxes are a good choice. Then, you need to divide the house into different rooms and floors just like people's apartments(公寓) in a big building.

Step 3: Filling the rooms.

Before filling the rooms, think about a question first. What kinds of insects do you want to invite? Different insects like different things. Maybe some of them like flowers, and some like biscuits. This will help you to decide how to fill the rooms.

Step 4: Opening it up.

Choose a lovely day to open up your hotel. Wait to see who will come!

1. Why do people build insect hotels?

A. To keep insects as pets.         B. To help insects.

C. To be insects' friends.          D. To play with insects.
