Every year, millions of birds fly thousands of kilometres between their home areas and winter places. Why do birds take such long and dangerous journeys? The reasons are food and weather. In cold seasons, food becomes difficult to find, and birds move to warmer places to find enough insects（昆虫）or plants to eat. Scientists studied how birds travel for a long time. Today, scientists use GPS to help them. They found that birds use different ways to find their directions（方向）, like looking at the sun and stars, and remembering mountains and rivers to help them know their ways. Migration is arduous．Birds face many dangers, such as storms, enemies(天敌), and tall buildings. To prepare for the trip, they eat more food to store energy. During the journey, birds fly in groups to save energy by following the first bird. ▲ For example, some birds help flowers grow through pollination（授粉）. However, climate（气候） change and human activities are making migration harder. Scientists say that some birds may change their ways or even disappear if we don't protect their rest areas. By building bird-friendly cities and using less light at night, humans can help these amazing travelers. ( )26. What's the reason for bird migration? A. To save energy during trips. B.
