But scientists know that the main reason birds build nests is to keep their babies safe, warm and healthy.Baby birds grow faster and are healthier when they are warm. They also learn to fly and leave the nests sooner than birds without warm homes.What A Yarn (纱)Yarn is big on an orioles shopping list during nest building. Scientists are still trying to work out why so many birds choose white yarn over other colors for nest building.Scientists think that the white objects remind birds of cotton fluff (绒毛) they find in the wild.Do It NaturallyEven though birds can help us recycle some of our junk by using it to build nests, they also need to use lots of natural things. Long grass, dried sticks, spiders silk and mud are some of the natural ingredients that are good for nests, too.You can make a collection box of things to leave for birds so they can help themselves.

One morning, Maria went to the beach early, but I stayed behind to finish a drawing of a seashell. After finishing the drawing, I walked to join Maria. She was a top gymnast (体操运动员). Her show was perfect as she wheeled along the beach. The beauty of that sight froze me, and I decided immediately that I too would become a gymnast like her.I knew that I had never been very good at sports. However, when I told my parents I wanted to take a gymnastics class, they agreed with me in surprise. The next week, I went to a beginners class.If only my parents had talked me out of this misguided plan! Five minutes into the first class, it was clear that I didnt have the gift of a gymnast. But I kept at it.During this time, drawing and paintingwhich had been my two favoritesall but left my mind. It must have been hurting for my family as they watched my hopeless efforts. I blindly decided to be like Maria. I just would not give up.At the same time, on the advice of Ms. White, my art teacher, I hurriedly handed in my seashell drawing for an art contest in our town. One night as I was having a hard time practicing, the phone rang. It was Ms. White. “Alice, you won the contest!” she said loudly.“Really?” was all I could reply.“Yes,” Ms. White said. “Theyre going to give you a prize. And thats not all. The winner is also accepted into Wildales Summer Fine Arts Institute.” I couldnt believe what I heard. Only a handful of young artists were accepted each summer.That night I didnt go back into the living room to continue practicing. Gymnastics was Marias gift, not mine. It had taken me a while, but I realized that I had a gift of my own.54. Alice wanted to be a gymnast because _.A. she had been good at sports B. her sisters show was perfectC. she hated drawing and painting D. her parents wanted her to do so55.

It takes time to find ones gifts.C. We could develop different gifts. D.

I have learned over the past years that sometimes when I lose, I get a lot more out of it than winning. Also, I find a lot of times in sports, people are getting too caught up in the game instead of just having fun. The real purpose of sports is to have fun and learn life lessons along the way.I greatly encourage you to be a part of the school sports. Even if you are not the best, you can still have fun. Sports give people a great and healthy way of spending an afternoon, instead of lying around playing video games or even getting into bad things. Sports also give us a sense of achievement. There isnt a better feeling than to have done something fun and productive for my day.I think that we all need sports to give us courage. If we try hard in sports, we usually do well. If we did the same in study, we would all be champions. Another reason why I encourage you to play sports is that its just fun. Without sports, our lives would just be boring. So as you may be able to tell, sports are amazing!Our coaches not only teach us to play sports, but show class and good sportsmanship while playing them. Its never fun when you lose to have the competitor rub it in your face. Thats why our coaches teach us to show class when we lose; also, when coaches get onto you, dont get down. They only want to see you improve and learn from what they say. When you do badly and they dont shout loudly is when you should start worrying because they are giving up on you.Overall, sports are great! They bring out the best and worst of a lot of us. However, we cant let sports get too serious to where it brings down all the fun. So to have the most fun in sports, you just need try your best and not worry so much about the winning or losing.58. The underlined phrase “get onto you” in Paragraph 4 probably means _.A. point out your mistakes B. take up your timeC. worry about your future D. look into your privacy59. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Sports bring us great fun only if we have the talent.B. Sports give us the best way of spending free time.C. We can get more out of winning than losing.D. We should take pleasure in doing sports.60. What is the best title of this passage?A. Are we too caught up?B. To win or to gain?C. Are sports really great? D. For honor or for health? 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）I was born in the computer age. 61 .

However, if you just sit quietly and do nothing, you may feel bored. Are there things you can do to feel good and have fun when youre hot?Perhaps playing in water is a good choice to make you cool down. Taking a cool bath or shower, or even washing toys in a pan of cool water can also make you feel good on a hot day. Besides, you can read stories or paint in front of a fan. You dont need to move your body very much. These are just some of the cool things to do on a hot day.In addition, its important for you to drink water. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water in one day. If you feel thirsty, you are already short of water. So dont wait for thirst before you start to drink. You should try to drink as much water as you lose every day. Mixing a little fruit juice into your water is a fun way to help you drink plenty of water.The food you eat also makes a difference in how you feel in the heat. Cold foods such as ice cream and drinks with some ice can cool down your bodies. Fruits and vegetables are also helpful to stay cool in hot weather. So plan a healthy menu for a hot day-one that doesnt need any cooking.65. Is it easy to know what to do to feel good on a hot day?66. Is playing in water a good choice or a bad one?67.

Many people discover that you can have a good time with the TV off. If that sounds crazy to you, just have a look at some numbers:An American teenager spends 900 hours every year at school; the same teenager spends 1,023 hours every year watching TV. Thats 2 hours 49 minutes every day.An average（平均）British person (not just teenagers) watches 3 hours 35 minutes every day.In the US, most TV has adverts. American children see 20,000 adverts every year. By age 65, an American has seen two million ads!But some research from Britain says that may not be a problem. The London Business School watched people carefully during TV adverts and they discovered that people dont watch a lot of the ads. The researchers discovered that the most common activity during the adverts was talking to other people in the room. Many other people started reading or doing housework or changed channels during adverts. They only really watched them about 25 per cent of the time.51During TV Turnoff Week, many people dont _.A.watch TV B. change channelsC. watch adverts D. do their school work52From the passage we can learn that _.A. American children see more adverts on TV than their parentsB. British people spend more than 3 hours a day in front of their TVC. Researchers noticed that most people changed channels during adsD. An American teenager spends more time at school than watching TV53The writers purpose is _.A. to advise us to spend less time on TVB. to tell us how to avoid watching advertsC. to show us how many adverts American TV hasD. to ask us to turn off TV during TV Turnoff WeekCLast week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. Pete used to spend his holidays travelling the world, visiting the Louvre in Pairs or watching animals in Africa. Nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete where he got the idea from. He told me that his favourite source of ideas was a DIY programme on TV.This got me thinking about the popularity of DIY programmes in the UK. Nearly every channel has at least one home or garden makeover show and theres even a DIY satellite channel.I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programmes are so popular. Two common sayings in Britain “an Englishmans home is his castle” and “theres no place like home” show how important our houses are to us. With the recent economic downturn, many people cant afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect choice.But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were hurt while doing home improvements in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off steps and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by tools.I wont be going down to the hardware（五金）store. Id rather watch DIY on TV with a nice cup of tea!54The underlined phrase “put together” means _.A. painted B. cleaned C. built D. designed55People in the UK _.A. care little about their homesB. take DIY as an enjoyable jobC. like watching all TV programmesD. have enough money to spend on houses56From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer _.A. thinks DIY is a good way to relaxB. likes watching DIY programmesC. is becoming interested in DIYD. has no plan to do DIY himselfDAs many as one in five US teenagers have some degree of hearing loss(丧失), according to researchers. They say the problem is growing.“Teenagers really dont pay attention to how much noise they are exposed to(接触),” Josef Shargorodsky of Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston told Reuters. “Often people wont notice it, but even very little hearing loss may influence language development,” said Shargorodsky, one of the researchers.The study compared surveys from the early 1990s and the mid-2000s. Each included a few thousand teenagers. In the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss. Some 15 years later, that number had risen by a third, to nearly 20 percent.“This certainly is big news,” said Alison Grimes, an ear doctor. “Hearing loss is very common in old people,” Grimes said, but she added that it was worrying to see it happen in the younger age group.In babies and young children, hearing problems are known to slow language development. The science is less clear for teenagers, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could influence learning, said Grimes.The reasons for the rise are still unclea
