Travelling is something many people like to do. It’s a fun way to meet new people and see different ways of living. You can even walk down the streets and feel

the spirit of a new town.

One big reason for travelling is to meet people who think differently. Each person has his own story, and when you share yours, magic happens. For example, I once talked with a man from Russia about nature. Travelling can also make you change your life. Before I moved to Sydney, I travelled all over Australia. I fell in love with its culture and language. Now I am living in Sydney.

Another wonderful thing about travelling is that it makes you a great storyteller.  Although things sometimes go wrong, they turn into funny memories (回忆). Once, my friend and I took the wrong bus, but we laughed as we walked back in the rain. Those funny times have become the best stories.

Finally, travelling helps you realize how much you love your family and friends.  A new world is waiting for you!

1.Why do people like travelling?

                                            

2.Why did the writer live in Australia?

                                            

3.What could become your best stories when you travelled?

                                            

4.What does the writer want us to do?

                                             

5.What other advantages can travelling bring us? Give one example and explain.

Have you ever woken up early in the morning and heard birds singing loudly? Before the sun rises, they start making noise — like a lively morning party!

There are about 10,000 species (种类) of birds in the world. Songbirds make up nearly half of them. They usually start singing as early as 4 am. The first birds to start their singing are usually blackbirds, robins, wrens and larks.

Do you know why birds start singing so early? Firstly, they sing to find a mate (配偶). Birds choose mates by their songs because a good song means a healthy and strong mate. Birds also sing to let others know who’s around and what area is their home. Each bird has its own way of singing. One bird might sing “tweet‑tweet‑trill”, while another goes “chirp‑chirp‑peep”.

There was a common idea that birds sang a lot in the morning because there was less wind and air movement during the time so that their sounds could travel farther. But this idea was disproven (被推翻) by researchers (研究人员) at the University of Western Ontario in 2003. They played recorded bird songs during the morning and at noon. The study found that morning songs didn’t travel farther, but the quiet morning air made them sound clearer — like when you talk in a quiet room!

Next time you hear birds singing in the morning, remember, they’re not just making noise. They’re talking to each other, looking for love, and protecting their home.

1. What’s the number of songbird species?

                                   

2. When do songbirds usually start singing?

                                       

3. Why do birds choose mates by their songs?

                                        

4. According to researchers, what’s the reason that birds sing a lot in the morning?.

                                            

5.What other daily activities can help people learn about birds? Give one example and explain.
