They make a buzzing noise when they fly. They make this noise because they beat their wings so fast. They beat their wings up to 80 times a second. All that flapping makes a lot of noise. Thats why we call them hummingbirds.Hummingbirds fly in a unique way. They move their wings so fast that they can hover. This means that they can stay in one spot in the middle of the air, like a helicopter. Sometimes they fly or hover upside down. They are the only bird that flies backward.Hummingbirds are small. One type called the bee hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world. Bee hummingbirds weigh less than a penny. They are just a little bit bigger than bees. I guess thats where they get their name.Hummingbirds move fast. It takes lots of energy to move as fast as they do. This means that they need to eat a lot of food. Their favorite food is nectar, a sweet liquid inside of some flowers. They drink more than their own weight in nectar daily. They have to visit hundreds of flowers to get enough nectar to live. They can only store(存储) enough energy to survive through the night. They live on the edge. Hummingbirds dont use their long beaks like straws(吸管). They have a tongue just like you. They use their tongues for eating. They flick their tongues in and out of their mouths while inside of lowers. They lap up nectar. Flowers give them the energy that they need.Hummingbirds help flowers too. They get pollen(花粉) on their heads and bills when they feed. Flowers use pollen to make seeds. Hummingbirds help pollen get from one flower to the next. This helps flowers make more seeds. More seeds means more flowers. More flowers means more food for hummingbirds. Isnt it nice how that works out?38 . Why are they called hummingbirds?AThey are very light.BThey sing when they fly.CTheir wings make a humming sound.DTheir song sounds like humming.39 .

Dad started going there every day, but he put paper over the windows and locked the door so we didnt find out his plan. He brought boxes home and put many things in the hut. It was very strange(奇怪).Then one day he told us the holiday was ready. We went into the hut. Inside, it was a train! We sat down and the train started. We saw pictures through the windows. “Look, we are going through Beijing.” And a few minutes later we were passing the Great Wall of China. Dad brought lunch in: Beijing duck!We spent the next three days in the train and they were the most exciting days of my life. We saw Paris, London, Rome, Venice and many more places.

Since then, more yellow school buses can be seen on the street.In China, besides the bus driver, there should be an adult on the school bus to look after the students.

There are about 480,000 school buses in the country. The older kids sit in the back of the bus. The younger kids sit in the front. They usually listen to music, talk on their phones or just sleep. The only adult on the bus is the driver.The school bus is important in students everyday lives. It can keep children safe.
