If you want to watch and know something about birds, you must find a good place near the bird nest（巢）.
Birds sit on eggs and take care of their babies from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, parents often go to look for food and come back in several minutes. So it is good to watch birds. When we watch birds, we’d better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it’s better to use binoculars(双筒望远镜).
But how to make a bird nest? A good bird nest must be very fine, strong, thick and comfortable. If you want to make one, please follow these:
a) Each nest must have six boards（木板）. Don’t make the boards too slippery（滑）.
b) Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a “door”. The “door” is big enough so birds can fly in or out easily.
c) Make sure the rainwater can’t go into the nest.
d) One piece of the board should be easy to open.
e) Don’t forget to colour the nest.
( ) 6. The most important thing in watching birds is to .
A. look for a place near the bird nest B. climb up to the trees
C. catch a bird D. kill a bird
( ) 7. We have to hide ourselves to , when we’re watching birds.
A. take better care of them B. use the binoculars
C. make them do everything as usual D. kill them at last.
( ) 8. If we make the nest too slippery, .
A. it won’t be very beautiful B. it won’t be easy to make
C. it won’t be strong D. it’s very difficult for birds to hold or stand on it
( ) 9. We should leave a hole in the front of the nest so that easily.
A. we can clean the nest B. birds can fly in or out
C. we can hang（挂） D. we can make it
( ) 10. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Birds are man’s friends B. How to catch birds
C. Watching birds and making bird nests D. How to keep birds
C
A rich American went into a shop in London. He wanted very much to buy a nice looking watch, but the owner of the shop asked five hundred dollars for it. Suddenly a young man came into the shop, took the watch out of the owner’s hands and ran out with it. It all happened in a few seconds. When the owner ran out into the street, the young man was already lost among the people.
The American went on. At the next corner, he saw the young man with the watch in his hand. “Do you want to buy a fine watch, sir?” he asked in a low voice. “It’s only a hundred dollars.” “The young man doesn’t know I saw him stealing the watch,” he thought. The American paid at once and went back to his room with the watch. He told his friend about the fine watch.
His friend took a look at the watch and started laughing. He said, “You are a fool. This watch isn’t worth even ten dollars. I’m sure the shop owner and the young man planned this together.”
( )11.The owner of the shop asked dollars for the watch.
A. 500 B. 250 C. 100 D. 10
( )12.The American paid dollars for the watch.

B. The rich man didn’t see the young man stealing the watch at all.
C. The watch is worth 500 dollars.
D. The rich American was very happy to buy the stolen watch.

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight(增加体重) instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
( )16. During the test, the people were given ________.
A. no breakfast at all B. different foods or nothing
C. very rich breakfast D. little food for breakfast
( )17. The results show that ___________.
A. breakfast has great effect (影响) on work and studies
B. breakfast has little to do with a person’s work
C. a person will work better if he only has fruit and milk
D. girl students should have little for breakfast
( )18 According to the passage, some people think that if you don’t have breakfast you will _____________.
A. be healthier B. work better C. lose weight D. lose your way
( )19. The word “reduce” in the last sentence means _______.
A. 增加 B. 减少 C. 放弃 D. 享用
( )20. Which of the following is not right?
A. It is bad for your health to have no breakfast.
B. Too little for breakfast and too much for lunch may make you fatter.
C. If you don’t eat much for lunch and supper, you may lose weight.
D. The more breakfast you have, the more quickly you’ll learn in class
