Burrowing Owls are small brown long-legged birds. They make homes in underground burrows (洞穴) and prefer to live in groups. In California, there is another kind of owls 22 the Western Burrowing Owl.

As a result, the number of Western Burrowing Owls in California was 24 than that in 1965. 25 the number kept falling, they would be at risk of dying out. 26 , scientists found out the problem some years ago.

If you want to watch and know something about birds, you can find a good place near the bird’s nest(巢) to watch. But remember to keep a safe distance and not to disturb (打扰) them.
Birds are usually busy sitting on eggs and taking care of their babies from April to June. Baby birds are too young to leave the nest, so their parents often fly out to look for food and come back quickly. This is a great time to watch birds. When we watch birds, we’d better hide ourselves quietly. And it’s better to use binoculars(望远镜) to help.
Sometimes, birds’ nests are broken for different reasons like natural disasters or the death of parent birds. Then people can help to make a bird’s nest. But how to do that? A good bird’s nest must be very strong, thick and comfortable. If you want to make one, please follow these tips:
1. Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a “door”. The “door” should be big enough so the birds can fly in or out easily.
2. Choose the materials(材料) carefully. Make sure the rainwater can’t go into the nest.
3. Don’t forget to colour the nest. Choose colours like green and brown to help it hide in the natural environment.
( ) 31. In order to watch birds well, we’d better ______.
A. take good care of them B. take the binoculars
C. bring some food to feed them D. climb up the trees
( ) 32. What should we do if we want to make a bird’s nest?
A. Make the “door” as big as possible.
B. Use any materials we can find.
C. Make sure the nest can keep out the rain.
D. Paint the nest bright red to make it pretty.
( ) 33. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?
A. People should always build birds’ nests for birds.
B. Birds don’t need protection except from April to June.
C. Birdwatching needs to respect(尊重) for birds’ living habits.
D. Binoculars are necessary for every birdwatching activity.
B
Many schools hold sports games in autumn. It turns out that autumn might be the best season to work out!
During this time, the weather is great. After a hot summer, the autumn air is cool and fresh, like a natural air conditioner (空调)! In such weather, you can run, hike, cycle or walk outside without sweating (出汗) much. No more worrying about colds—autumn makes outdoor exercise safer, even when playing for a long time.
Cool autumn days and daily exercise can help you sleep better, keeping you healthy. Also,
