23、When birds’ habitat is destroyed, some species don’t make it while others survive. But what happens at the very beginning of the process, just as a bird’s habitat starts to change? Research in Argentina’s Monte Desert has provided some answers. There are lots of trees, bushes, grasses and flowering plants in the protected parts of the desert. With so many options, most seed-eating birds choose to focus on large grass seeds. The birds can get all the energy and nutrients they need with minimal effort.

But when cattle show up to graze the desert’s natural landscape, birds face changes in food supply. Some birds are happy to change their diets in response. But others, not so much. And it’s the ones set in their ways that are at the highest risk. Understanding how birds react to grazing can help researchers solve the problem of those species.

Ecologists from the Argentine Arid Zones Research Institute compared soil samples from the desert’s Nacunan biosphere reserve to samples from two neighboring cattle farms. It was discovered that grass seeds — the birds’ favorites — were just one-quarter as likely to be found on the farms compared with the reserve. Next, they caught birds to see what they were eating. The Common Diuca-Finch and the Rufous-Collared Sparrow had adjusted their diets, choosing to eat their less preferred options on the farms, even while they still focused on large grass seeds in the reserve.

Meanwhile, the Many-Colored Chaco Finch and the Ringed Warbling-Finch were apparently unable to change their diets. Even on the farms, they worked hard to find the few grass seeds available. If they burn more energy searching for food than they get from the few grass seeds they find, they could starve. At best, their inflexible dietary could limit their ability to reproduce or to care for their young.

Studies like this can help predict which species are at higher risk and help farmers protect these poor species, even while allowing their livestock to graze. For example, the farmers can plant new species for their cattle that will also be more delicious and nutritious for local seed-eating birds. The cows won’t care about the menu change — but the birds sure will.

【1】Why can some seed-eating birds easily get their food in the protected parts of the desert?

A．Because of plant diversity.

B．Because there are fewer birds.

C．Because there are many small grass seeds.

D．Because of their long-distance flying ability.

【2】Researchers study how birds react to grazing so as to ________.

A．make birds and cattle live in peace

B．help birds change their diets

C．make cattle leave the desert

D．help birds most in danger

【3】What did ecologists from the research institute find?

A．Birds only ate large grass seeds on the farms.

B．Some birds changed their diets in the reserve.

C．There were more birds’ favorite seeds on the farms than in the reserve.

D．Some birds chose their favorites in the reserve but other food on the farms.

【4】It can be inferred that grazing cattle can __________.

A．drive most birds off the farms

B．change the menu of some birds

C．make birds like other seeds best

D．have little effect on birds’ food chains

【5】Which proverb can best describe the method of farmers’ planting new species?

A．Every coin has two sides.

B．Kill two birds with one stone.

C．Birds of a feather flock together.

D．There is no garden without weeds.

24、If you intend to hold a party for your friend traveling overseas, it is necessary to have the party area decorated to your theme. Here are some useful tips that can help you.

Make full use of colors for the decoration. Use colors that match the country your friend is leaving and the country your friend is going to. 【1】 You decorate half the area with colors your friend likes. And the other half has colors and things that represent the culture of the new country.

【2】 Additionally, think about including items that your co-worker or friend has expressed excitement about when retired. Maybe this person has expressed a desire to sit on the bench and read books. 【3】 Add a nice chair and a side table with some books. This area can also be the guest of honor’s special party throne (宝座).

Streamers (饰带) are always good decorations. Get streamers in the person’s favorite colors, or ones symbolic of something to do with the farewell. 【4】 This map shows where your guest is leaving from and going to.

Think about including a special area where you can place a book or card for everyone to sign and write a note. You can also tailor this to your theme. If your friend is moving overseas, maybe you get a bottle and small roles of paper. Thus people can write notes on the paper. 【5】

A．Notes are important to deliver messages.

B．You can even use streamers to make a map.

C．Maybe you can divide the party area in half.

D．And then they can place the notes into the bottle.

E．How about providing a bookshelf to attract your guests?

F．Have little clocks or similar work items for someone retiring.

G．Why not decorate a corner of the room to look like a reading area?

25、How to help your kids find a purpose? You don’t have to start with the really big questions. Quick, what’s the meaning of life?” Many of us may not be able to answer that, but that doesn’t ______ our kids don’t have questions or need answers.

“The sense that your personal life is ______ to you is a basis of psychological well-being,” says Michael F. Steger，director of the laboratory for Meaning and Quality of Life at Colorado State University. Not only that，it is tightly tied to being happier, more positive, more ______, more caring, more helpful, more resilient (坚韧), and more satisfied in your life, relationships, and work.

But helping your kids find meaning doesn’t mean parents have to ______ all life’s ancient mysteries, Steger says. The ______ is to understand the difference between the meaning of life and the meaning in life.

“We do not have to start with the biggest and most troubling questions about our lives,” Steger says. “We can start with trying to ______ how, today, right now, we are going to do one thing that makes the story of our lives more positive, or makes a positive difference to someone else.”

With kids in ______ school, Steger says, “At the most basic level, our best hopes for our children are that they feel their lives matter and that they ______.” To start conversations along those lines, says Steger, “You can ask questions about what they think their best ______ or strengths are, whether they have good relationships with other people, whether they care about others. You can ask them about times when they have made a difference, made someone feel better, felt ______ for doing something, or helped someone out. All of these kinds of questions can start a conversation about your kid’s ______ way of being in and contributing to the world.”

In middle school, says Steger, “Kids are being exposed to ideas, behaviors, assumptions, and priorities that might be ______ different from the ones they have always assumed were true.” So for kids this age, parents can start conversations focusing on how your children’s sense of who they are, how they related to others and what life is has been ______.

By high school, according to Steger, “We hope our children see how much their lives matter, see that they are at the beginning of an exciting and strengthening life story, and have some slight ideas about ______.”   But the question of what you want to do with your life is too big for a single conversation, says Steger. Instead, he encourages parents to have ______, smaller conversations with their kids about how they view themselves and their lives, and what kind of impact they would like to make.
