These are their pets. People love these pets and regard them as their good friends. Before they keep them at their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them vaccines (疫苗) so they won’t carry disease (疾病). They have special animal stores, though they can get animal food in almost every store. Some people spend about two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animals in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished (惩罚). If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it. People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: their family tie (关系) is not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own career (职业). Then the seniors (老人) feel lonely. But pets can solve (解决) this problem. They can be good big friends and never leave them alone. 1．This passage shows that Canadians ________.

While some see them as valuable education centers, others argue that they do more harm than good to wildlife. Critics point out that zoo animals often suffer from physical and mental problems. The living spaces are much smaller than their natural homes. Animals cannot run, hunt, or live freely like they do in the wild. Many of them were taken away from their families. This causes them mental pain. In some parks, dolphins and whales must do tricks for visitors. These animals often die much earlier than those living in the ocean. However, supporters believe zoos do important work. First, zoos teach the public about animals and why we need to protect nature. Many children first see wild animals in zoos and learn to love them. Second, zoos save animals that were hurt or kept illegally as pets. Third, zoo scientists study animal diseases and find ways to keep them healthy. The most important job of zoos today is saving endangered animals. Some rare animals have difficulty finding mates in the wild. Zoos help them breed safely. When there are enough animals, some may return to their natural homes. This helps keep their populations. But there are still problems. Not all zoos treat animals well. Some sell extra animals to circuses or hunting farms. These places are dangerous for the animals. In conclusion, whether zoos benefit animals largely depends on their management quality. Well-run zoos help animals and people. Poor zoos only cause suffering. We should support good zoos and improve the bad ones. 1．What does the underlined word “controversial” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Useful or effective. B．Bad or harmful. C．Thought to be normal or acceptable. D．Causing a lot of public discussion and disagreement. 2．Why do some animals in zoos feel stressed? A．Because they eat different food from the wild. B．Because they have limited space and lost their families. C．Because there are too many visitors watching them. D．Because they cannot sleep well at night. 3．Which of the following is TRUE? A．All zoo animals will return to the wild one day. B．Sea animals in zoos usually live longer than wild ones. C．Some zoo animals were once kept illegally as pets. D．Every zoo sells extra animals to circuses or hunting farms. 4．What is the most important job of zoos today? A．Teaching animals to do tricks for visitors. B．Selling animals to other countries to make money. C．Helping endangered animals have babies safely. D．Building the largest possible cages for animals. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Zoos have both good points and bad points. B．Zoos are perfect places with no problems at all. C．All zoos should be closed immediately. D．Animals in zoos are always unhappy and unhealthy. Koalas are often called koala bears, but they are not bears. They have small eyes, a large nose and round ears. And they have no tails. They can run as fast as a rabbit. They are also good at climbing trees. Koalas live in eucalyptus trees (桉树) and feed on the tree leaves. They usually sleep about 20 hours a day. The word “koala” comes from an Australian word. It means “no drink”. Koalas don’t drink much. They get water from what they eat. Much like kangaroos, koalas have pouches (育儿袋) for carrying their young. A koala mother usually gives birth to one joey (幼兽) at a time. The joey is only 2 cm long. It has no hair, no ears, and is blind. As soon as it’s born, it finds its way to its mother’s pouch, and stays there for about 6 months. That’s about how long it takes for the joey to see, grow ears and hair, and walk on its own. By 8 to 9 months the joey becomes too large to get into the pouch, and spends all its time on its mother’s back. At about 12 months, it leaves its mother to build its own home. A koala usually can live for 16 years. Now koalas are in great danger. Their numbers are dropping every year. To save koalas, a group called Bangalow Koalas was set up in 2019. For years, it has planted over 336,000 trees. The group hopes to plant 500,000 trees by 2027. “I can’t imagine a world with no koalas at all. We’re going to do everything we can to make sure that doesn’t happen,” said Ms. Sparrow, a worker from the group. 1．Which of the following is TRUE? ① Koalas are not bears.        ② Koalas have big noses. ③ Koalas have long tails.    ④ Koalas can run very fast.

More than half of the world’s 25,000 bee species (品种) have disappeared (消失) since 1990. There are many reasons for that, including too much use of pesticides (杀虫剂), loss of plants and human activities that damage (破坏) their living places. But the main reason is the climate (气候) change, which is changing the bees’ environments in a faster way than they are able to get used to. A map of where bees live across the world was just made by scientists from China and the US. To help people know about bees and protect them better, they tried to find out different species of bees in different areas. According to the map, there are more species of bees in the north half than in the south half of the earth, and more in dry warm areas than in wet forest areas. In fact, bees are important contributors to humans and the whole world. When bees are flying from one place to another, they are helping many plants to pollinate (授粉). In other words, without bees, fresh fruit and vegetables would be fewer and fewer around the world. Therefore, we humans should make our efforts to protect bees. As for what to do to help, plant some plants to attract bees to your garden. If you see bees around you, take some photos and post them on the Internet so scientists can help find out where bees live and how bees move. We can think of more ideas to save bees around the world. 1．Which is NOT a reason for the decline in bee species? A．Wide use of pesticides. B．Worse living places. C．The fast climate change. D．Less fresh fruit and fewer vegetables. 2．Which does the bee map tell us? A．Bees like living in wet places. B．Bees are protected better than before. C．Where different bee species live. D．The south half of the earth has more bees. 3．What does the underlined word “contributors” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Visitors. B．Helpers. C．Learners. D．Strangers. 4．What is the main purpose of this text? A．To explain how bees pollinate plants. B．To make more people protect bees. C．To describe different bee species. D．To discuss the danger of losing bees. This April in northern England, a strange sight caught people’s eyes: a “huge bird” was walking through the fields! The “bird” looked like something in a fantasy movie. In fact, it was Matt Trevelyan, a 46-year-old bird lover wearing a handmade Eurasian curlew (白腰杓鹬) costume (服装)! In the UK, the number of curlews is becoming smaller and smaller at a worrying speed. Farming and building projects are gradually destroying their homes in wetlands. Besides, foxes, crows and even rats often eat their eggs and young birds as food, which makes the situation worse. Matt works in a protected natural area. He spent three days creating the curlew costume with bamboo, cloth, and plastic. Then, he wore it and walked 53 miles along the Nidderdale Way. This unusual walk wasn’t for fun. It carried a meaningful purpose—calling attention to the Eurasian curlew. Matt’s idea came from a writer named Mary Colwell. In 2016, Mary walked about 500 miles across the British Isles to learn more about curlews and make people care more about them. In the following years, she created World Curlew Day. In April, 2018, Mary wrote a book called Curlew Moon to share her journey. After raising some money, Mary formed Curlew Action, an organization saving the birds from dying out. Matt wanted to do something similar. His walk was his own way of supporting the birds’ protection. Even one person can make a difference in protecting animals. Maybe we can all do something to help, too! 1．According to the text, what may make Eurasian curlews in the UK fewer? A．They don’t have enough food. B．They have fewer places to live. C．They lay fewer eggs than before. D．They are hunted by human hunters. 2．Why did Matt dress up as a curlew? A．To make people laugh. B．To study the bird’s habits. C．To call for curlew protection. D．To try a new form of costume. 3．What is the right order of the following events? ①Mary built an organization.                    ②Curlew Moon came out. ③Mary had a 500-mile walk.                    ④Mary created World Curlew Day. A．②①③④ B．③④①② C．②①④③ D．③④②① 4．Which words can best describe Matt Trevelyan? A．Honest and brave. B．Wise and strict. C．Kind and creative. D．Friendly and polite. 5．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．Little efforts matter to animal protection. B．Mary cares a lot about animal protection. C．Animal costumes are needed in animal protection. D．Unusual actions are better for animal protection. 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Many people love capybaras (水豚) these days because these cute animals are always calm (冷静的).

But how much do you know about this type of bird? In the Chinese culture, magpies are called xique, which means “the bird of happiness”. People believe that seeing magpies can bring them good luck. The birds even have a special job in the Chinese story of the Qixi Festival. It’s said that magpies would build the bridge (桥) in the sky for Niulang and Zhinu so that they could get together once a year. As a result, magpies stand for (代表) true love too. Magpies have black and white feathers with light blue tails. With their special “zhazhazha” sounds from early morning till night, it is not difficult for birdwatchers(观鸟者) to notice them. You can always see them chatting (聊天) on the roof (屋顶) or in the branches. Magpies have some very interesting living habits. They always live around humans. In winter, many magpies turn to a more plant-rich diet(饮食). Their diet includes about 60% vegetables. Sometimes they may look for food on the ground but not eat it right now. Instead, they will save the food for the future. Even more surprisingly, they stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds. It is just like they are holding a funeral (葬礼). All these unbelievable things lead some people to believe that magpies may be the cleverest of all birds. Well, Beijing’s noisiest bird is also one of its smartest ones. Maybe these little birds can really bring a little luck too. 1．What does the magpie’s Chinese name mean according to the article? 2．What do magpies look like? 3．What do magpies mainly live on in winter? 4．What do magpies do for their dead friends? 5．Do you like magpies?

Birds are different from other pets. They have special needs. First, birds need friends. Unlike dogs or cats, birds can’t be alone (独自的) for too long. They are social (社交型的) animals and need to be with other birds or people. If they stay alone all day without anyone to talk to, they wouldn’t feel fun. At first, you will enjoy watching it fly around or listening to it sing. But after some time, you may not like it. Birds need a lot of care and if you are too busy with schoolwork or other things, you might not have enough time for them. Finally, birds can live for many years.

These are their pets. People love these pets and regard them as their good friends. Before they keep them at their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them vaccines (疫苗) so they won’t carry disease (疾病). They have special animal stores, though they can get animal food in almost every store. Some people spend about two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animals in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished (惩罚). If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it. People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: their family tie (关系) is not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own career (职业). Then the seniors (老人) feel lonely. But pets can solve (解决) this problem. They can be good big friends and never leave them alone. 1．This passage shows that Canadians ________.

While some see them as valuable education centers, others argue that they do more harm than good to wildlife. Critics point out that zoo animals often suffer from physical and mental problems. The living spaces are much smaller than their natural homes. Animals cannot run, hunt, or live freely like they do in the wild. Many of them were taken away from their families. This causes them mental pain. In some parks, dolphins and whales must do tricks for visitors. These animals often die much earlier than those living in the ocean. However, supporters believe zoos do important work. First, zoos teach the public about animals and why we need to protect nature. Many children first see wild animals in zoos and learn to love them. Second, zoos save animals that were hurt or kept illegally as pets. Third, zoo scientists study animal diseases and find ways to keep them healthy. The most important job of zoos today is saving endangered animals. Some rare animals have difficulty finding mates in the wild. Zoos help them breed safely. When there are enough animals, some may return to their natural homes. This helps keep their populations. But there are still problems. Not all zoos treat animals well. Some sell extra animals to circuses or hunting farms. These places are dangerous for the animals. In conclusion, whether zoos benefit animals largely depends on their management quality. Well-run zoos help animals and people. Poor zoos only cause suffering. We should support good zoos and improve the bad ones. 1．What does the underlined word “controversial” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Useful or effective. B．Bad or harmful. C．Thought to be normal or acceptable. D．Causing a lot of public discussion and disagreement. 2．Why do some animals in zoos feel stressed? A．Because they eat different food from the wild. B．Because they have limited space and lost their families. C．Because there are too many visitors watching them. D．Because they cannot sleep well at night. 3．Which of the following is TRUE? A．All zoo animals will return to the wild one day. B．Sea animals in zoos usually live longer than wild ones. C．Some zoo animals were once kept illegally as pets. D．Every zoo sells extra animals to circuses or hunting farms. 4．What is the most important job of zoos today? A．Teaching animals to do tricks for visitors. B．Selling animals to other countries to make money. C．Helping endangered animals have babies safely. D．Building the largest possible cages for animals. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Zoos have both good points and bad points. B．Zoos are perfect places with no problems at all. C．All zoos should be closed immediately. D．Animals in zoos are always unhappy and unhealthy. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕动物园是否对动物有益展开讨论。 1．第一段明确提到 “While some see them as valuable education centers, others argue that they do more harm than good to wildlife.”，这表明人们对动物园的看法存在分歧，一部分人认为有价值，另一部分人认为弊大于利，因此，“controversial” 意为“有争议的”，即引起公众讨论和分歧。 2．文章第二段提到 “The living spaces are much smaller than their natural homes.” 以及 “Many of them were taken away from their families. This causes them mental pain.”，文中明确指出，动物园的生活空间比自然栖息地小得多，且许多动物被从家庭中带走，这导致了它们的精神痛苦（即压力）。 3．文章第三段提到 “Second, zoos save animals that were hurt or kept illegally as pets.”，这表明一些动物园动物曾经被非法当作宠物饲养。 4．文章第四段提到 “The most important job of zoos today is saving endangered animals. Some rare animals have difficulty finding mates in the wild. Zoos help them breed safely.”，这表明动物园如今最重要的工作是帮助濒危动物安全繁殖。 5．文章先阐述了动物园的弊端，如动物遭受身心痛苦、生存空间狭小等；又说明了动物园的益处，如教育公众、救助动物、科研以及拯救濒危动物等；最后总结动物园的价值取决于管理质量。这表明文章的主旨是动物园既有优点也有缺点。 Koalas are often called koala bears, but they are not bears. They have small eyes, a large nose and round ears. And they have no tails. They can run as fast as a rabbit. They are also good at climbing trees. Koalas live in eucalyptus trees (桉树) and feed on the tree leaves. They usually sleep about 20 hours a day. The word “koala” comes from an Australian word. It means “no drink”. Koalas don’t drink much. They get water from what they eat. Much like kangaroos, koalas have pouches (育儿袋) for carrying their young. A koala mother usually gives birth to one joey (幼兽) at a time. The joey is only 2 cm long. It has no hair, no ears, and is blind. As soon as it’s born, it finds its way to its mother’s pouch, and stays there for about 6 months. That’s about how long it takes for the joey to see, grow ears and hair, and walk on its own. By 8 to 9 months the joey becomes too large to get into the pouch, and spends all its time on its mother’s back. At about 12 months, it leaves its mother to build its own home. A koala usually can live for 16 years. Now koalas are in great danger. Their numbers are dropping every year. To save koalas, a group called Bangalow Koalas was set up in 2019. For years, it has planted over 336,000 trees. The group hopes to plant 500,000 trees by 2027. “I can’t imagine a world with no koalas at all. We’re going to do everything we can to make sure that doesn’t happen,” said Ms. Sparrow, a worker from the group. 1．Which of the following is TRUE? ① Koalas are not bears.        ② Koalas have big noses. ③ Koalas have long tails.    ④ Koalas can run very fast. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 2．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．What koalas love doing. B．How long koalas sleep a day. C．Koalas’ eating and living habits. D．The meaning and history of koalas. 3．How long does it take a new-born koala to see the world? A．16 years. B．12 months. C．8 to 9 months. D．Half a year. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Koalas are bears with long tails. B．The word “koala” comes from an American word. C．Bangalow Koalas has planted over 336,000 trees. D．Koalas can live for more than 20 years. 5．What is the goal of Bangalow Koalas by 2027? A．To plant 500,000 trees. B．To plant 336,000 trees. C．To save koalas. D．To stop people from cutting trees. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了考拉的外形特征、生活习性、繁殖过程以及目前面临的生存危机和保护措施。 1．第一段指出：“Koalas are often called koala bears, but they are not bears.”（①正确）、“They have small eyes, a large nose”（②正确）、“And they have no tails.”（③错误）、“They can run as fast as a rabbit.”（④正确），因此①②④正确。 2．第二段介绍了考拉生活在桉树上、以桉树叶为食、每天睡20小时、名字含义等，因此本段主要讲考拉的饮食和生活习惯。 3．第三段指出：“stays there for about 6 months...That’s about how long it takes for the joey to see...”，说明幼崽需要半年才能看见东西。 4．第四段指出：“it has planted over 336,000 trees”，与C项表述一致。 5．第四段指出：“The group hopes to plant 500,000 trees by 2027.”，说明该组织的目标是种植50万棵树。 Whether (是否) you’ve noticed it or not, fewer and fewer bees are around us now. More than half of the world’s 25,000 bee species (品种) have disappeared (消失) since 1990. There are many reasons for that, including too much use of pesticides (杀虫剂), loss of plants and human activities that damage (破坏) their living places. But the main reason is the climate (气候) change, which is changing the bees’ environments in a faster way than they are able to get used to. A map of where bees live across the world was just made by scientists from China and the US. To help people know about bees and protect them better, they tried to find out different species of bees in different areas. According to the map, there are more species of bees in the north half than in the south half of the earth, and more in dry warm areas than in wet forest areas. In fact, bees are important contributors to humans and the whole world. When bees are flying from one place to another, they are helping many plants to pollinate (授粉). In other words, without bees, fresh fruit and vegetables would be fewer and fewer around the world. Therefore, we humans should make our efforts to protect bees. As for what to do to help, plant some plants to attract bees to your garden. If you see bees around you, take some photos and post them on the Internet so scientists can help find out where bees live and how bees move. We can think of more ideas to save bees around the world. 1．Which is NOT a reason for the decline in bee species? A．Wide use of pesticides. B．Worse living places. C．The fast climate change. D．Less fresh fruit and fewer vegetables. 2．Which does the bee map tell us? A．Bees like living in wet places. B．Bees are protected better than before. C．Where different bee species live. D．The south half of the earth has more bees. 3．What does the underlined word “contributors” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Visitors. B．Helpers. C．Learners. D．Strangers. 4．What is the main purpose of this text? A．To explain how bees pollinate plants. B．To make more people protect bees. C．To describe different bee species. D．To discuss the danger of losing bees. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述如今蜜蜂品种数量不断减少，分析了蜜蜂减少的各类原因，介绍了中美科学家绘制的蜜蜂分布地图，强调蜜蜂对人类和自然界的重要作用，并呼吁人们采取行动保护蜜蜂。 1．文中第二段提到“There are many reasons for that, including too much use of pesticides, loss of plants and human activities that damage their living places. But the main reason is the climate change…”，表明蜜蜂减少的原因有大量使用杀虫剂、栖息地被破坏、气候变化，第四段说明蜜蜂减少才会导致新鲜果蔬变少，新鲜果蔬变少不是蜜蜂品种减少的原因。 2．文中第三段提到“A map of where bees live across the world was just made by scientists from China and the US… they tried to find out different species of bees in different areas”，表明科学家绘制蜜蜂分布图，目的是查明不同地区的不同蜜蜂品种，由此可知地图能告诉我们不同蜜蜂品种的栖息地。 3．第四段后文“When bees are flying from one place to another, they are helping many plants to pollinate. In other words, without bees, fresh fruit and vegetables would be fewer and fewer around the world.”，介绍蜜蜂帮植物授粉，没有蜜蜂果蔬会变少，可见蜜蜂对人类和自然界有很大帮助，因此contributors意为帮手、助力者，对应Helpers。 4．文章先介绍蜜蜂数量减少现状及原因、蜜蜂的重要性，最后给出保护蜜蜂的做法并呼吁行动，全文主旨是让更多人了解并保护蜜蜂。 This April in northern England, a strange sight caught people’s eyes: a “huge bird” was walking through the fields! The “bird” looked like something in a fantasy movie. In fact, it was Matt Trevelyan, a 46-year-old bird lover wearing a handmade Eurasian curlew (白腰杓鹬) costume (服装)! In the UK, the number of curlews is becoming smaller and smaller at a worrying speed. Farming and building projects are gradually destroying their homes in wetlands. Besides, foxes, crows and even rats often eat their eggs and young birds as food, which makes the situation worse. Matt works in a protected natural area. He spent three days creating the curlew costume with bamboo, cloth, and plastic. Then, he wore it and walked 53 miles along the Nidderdale Way. This unusual walk wasn’t for fun. It carried a meaningful purpose—calling attention to the Eurasian curlew. Matt’s idea came from a writer named Mary Colwell. In 2016, Mary walked about 500 miles across the British Isles to learn more about curlews and make people care more about them. In the following years, she created World Curlew Day. In April, 2018, Mary wrote a book called Curlew Moon to share her journey. After raising some money, Mary formed Curlew Action, an organization saving the birds from dying out. Matt wanted to do something similar. His walk was his own way of supporting the birds’ protection. Even one person can make a difference in protecting animals. Maybe we can all do something to help, too! 1．According to the text, what may make Eurasian curlews in the UK fewer? A．They don’t have enough food. B．They have fewer places to live. C．They lay fewer eggs than before. D．They are hunted by human hunters. 2．Why did Matt dress up as a curlew? A．To make people laugh. B．To study the bird’s habits. C．To call for curlew protection. D．To try a new form of costume. 3．What is the right order of the following events? ①Mary built an organization.                    ②Curlew Moon came out. ③Mary had a 500-mile walk.                    ④Mary created World Curlew Day. A．②①③④ B．③④①② C．②①④③ D．③④②① 4．Which words can best describe Matt Trevelyan? A．Honest and brave. B．Wise and strict. C．Kind and creative. D．Friendly and polite. 5．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．Little efforts matter to animal protection. B．Mary cares a lot about animal protection. C．Animal costumes are needed in animal protection. D．Unusual actions are better for animal protection. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了英国男子Matt Trevelyan为引起人们对濒危鸟类白腰杓鹬的关注，穿着自制的鸟类服装徒步53英里的故事，并追溯了Mary Colwell为保护该物种所做的努力。 1．第二段提到“Farming and building projects are gradually destroying their homes in wetlands.”，说明白腰杓鹬数量减少的原因之一是栖息地被破坏，居住的地方变少。 2．第三段提到“This unusual walk wasn’t for fun. It carried a meaningful purpose—calling attention to the Eurasian curlew.”，说明Matt装扮成杓鹬是为了呼吁人们关注和保护这种鸟类。 3．根据第四段内容可知，事件顺序为：③Mary 500英里徒步（2016）→④Mary创立世界杓鹬日（在接下来的几年）→②《杓鹬之月》出版（2018）→①Mary建立组织（后续），因此顺序为③④②①。 4．结合文章，Matt自制服装并徒步53英里以唤起人们对杓鹬的关注，体现了他善良（关爱动物）和富有创造力（自制服装）的品质。 5．文章通过Matt和Mary的个人行动表明，即使是微小的个人努力也能对动物保护产生积极影响，因此作者想告诉我们“小小的努力对动物保护很重要”。 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Many people love capybaras (水豚) these days because these cute animals are always calm (冷静的).

Magpies are as important a part of Beijing as the Palace Museum and Beijing Duck. But how much do you know about this type of bird? In the Chinese culture, magpies are called xique, which means “the bird of happiness”. People believe that seeing magpies can bring them good luck. The birds even have a special job in the Chinese story of the Qixi Festival. It’s said that magpies would build the bridge (桥) in the sky for Niulang and Zhinu so that they could get together once a year. As a result, magpies stand for (代表) true love too. Magpies have black and white feathers with light blue tails. With their special “zhazhazha” sounds from early morning till night, it is not difficult for birdwatchers(观鸟者) to notice them. You can always see them chatting (聊天) on the roof (屋顶) or in the branches. Magpies have some very interesting living habits. They always live around humans. In winter, many magpies turn to a more plant-rich diet(饮食). Their diet includes about 60% vegetables. Sometimes they may look for food on the ground but not eat it right now. Instead, they will save the food for the future. Even more surprisingly, they stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds. It is just like they are holding a funeral (葬礼).

Unlike dogs or cats, birds can’t be alone (独自的) for too long. They are social (社交型的) animals and need to be with other birds or people. If they stay alone all day without anyone to talk to, they wouldn’t feel fun. At first, you will enjoy watching it fly around or listening to it sing. But after some time, you may not like it. Birds need a lot of care and if you are too busy with schoolwork or other things, you might not have enough time for them. Finally, birds can live for many years. Some kinds of birds live for 20 years or more. This means keeping a bird takes you many years. You need to make sure you can take care of it for a long time, not just for a few months.
