expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when josh responded, i just want a bed.the boys had never slept in a bed! they were accustomed to plastic mats. that night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. on thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding. when we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. we could hardly contain ourselves. it was like watching excited children on christmas morning.that afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds tog tether, eric ran into the house to watch us. too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.as my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, eric asked, what is that? a pillow, she replied. what do you do with it? eric continued to ask. when you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” i answered softly. tears came to our eyes as she handed eric the pillow. oh . . . thats soft, he said, hugging it tightly.now, when my sister or i start to ask for something that seems urgent, my dad gently asks, do you have a pillow? we know exactly what he means.56by saying “do you have a pillow?”, the writers father means that . awhat they want to get may be unnecessarybthey should not waste money on small thingscthey should do more volunteer work for the poordwhat he will buy is not what they want but a pillow57from the passage, we can learn that eric had never seen before.aa trailerba truckca pillowda house58on bearing joshs answer, the writer was shocked because .athe family lived in a trailerbhe expected to get some toysche didnt know what a bed wasdthe boys had no bed to sleep in59the writers first volunteer project was . aworking on a poor trailerbhelping a poor familycdonating beds and beddingddealing with a housing problembalong the river banks of the amazon and the orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws(爪)on its wings when young .they build their homes about 4.6m above the river ,an important feature(特征)for the safety of the young. it is called the hoatzin. in appearance，the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside .the head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. its most striking feature ,though, is only found in the young. baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip .using these four claws ,together with the beak(喙),they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive birds must have done. when the young hoatzins have learned to fly ,they lose their claws.during the drier months between december and march hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in april, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.60young hoatzins are different from their parents in that athey look like young cuckoos bthey have claws on the wings cthey eat a lot like a cow dthey live on river banks61what is the text mainly about?
