Ⅱ.阅读理解。
Every year, between 100 million and 1,000 million birds die from crashing into buildings, especially windows. When hearing the news, you may feel sad. Scientists have come up with a simple idea that could help save birds: Turn off the lights.
组合训练四
In the fall, more than 8,000 million birds migrate(迁徙) from North America to warmer places. During daylight hours, glass reflects(反射) the outside world. That makes the birds think what they see is the real world. At night, the bright lights in tall buildings look like stars. That makes the birds mistake them for stars that show them the way. These finally result in birds crashing into windows and losing their lives.

In 1999, the National Audubon Society which protects birds, began the Lights Out Network. It is a national action to provide safe airspace for migrating birds. Now some big US cities, like Dallas, Philadelphia and New York, turn off the lights at night to protect birds. If we pull together to protect birds, they will have a better living environment.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology(the study of birds) advises producing man-made lights as little as possible during the migration season. They advise turning off lights outside that are not important to your life and turning off or dimming lights inside.
