Birdwatching is a fun hobby for many people. Birdwatchers like to look at birds in the wild. They take photos and record the birds’ sounds to learn about their behavior.
“I feel my heart beating, my eyes widen and almost automatically (自动地), I start to smile,” Prayitno Goenarto said. 1
Goenarto is a birdwatcher and wildlife photographer from Indonesia. He is now 31 years old. When he became sick in college, his doctor asked him to go out more often for sunlight, exercise and fresh air. 2
A birdwatcher needs to know a lot and be brave and strong. Goenarto spends most of his time working in the wild. He knows where and when to find different kinds of birds. Sometimes he has to go deep into the forest to find the shy birds. 3 He might get lost. He has to look out for snakes and some big animals. Once, Goenarto went to a faraway island to look for some rare birds. It rained heavily every day. He worked in wet clothes for the whole trip.
Goenarto loves his work. Birdwatching helps him stay healthy and he can make friends with other birdwatchers. 4 This helps more people learn about birds and take action to protect them. That’s the best part of the job!
5 They study and protect the rare birds. Terry Townshend is a British birdwatcher in China. He has studied Beijing swifts for over ten years. Xu Zhuo protects red-crowned cranes in Heilongjiang. Her father, aunt and grandparents also spent their lifetime looking after the birds. Now the young girl has the job.
A.It can be dangerous.
B.Most birds are active in the daytime.
C.That’s when he started watching birds.
D.If we do nothing, there may be none left soon.
E.Moreover, he catches wonderful moments of birds.
F.In China, there are lots of birdwatchers like Goenarto.
G.This is how he feels when he sees a new kind of bird.

Studies report that people feel less stressed after just 45 minutes of making art. Making art is a good way to help our mind relax and reduce stress. Besides reducing stress, here are some other advantages of making art.
Art is helpful to improve our self-knowledge and self-expression. 6 What colors do we prefer Which shapes are we drawn to To make art is to make choices, and that makes paying attention to our inner (内在的) selves important, as we decide what do and do not make us happy.
7 We express ourselves by making a physical representation (象征) of our inner world. In doing so, we are acting a healthy belief that what’s inside of us deserves (值得) taking up space and being seen by others.
8 If we want to build a relationship with others, we can show them our art. They may share with us how our art makes them feel; they may ask how we got the idea of creating the work; they may tell us their understanding of making art. A conversation is then started. What’s more, those of us who are interested in making art can be attracted to the creation of others. 9
Art can help us pay more attention to the process rather than the product. My painting skills are not very good. I make mistakes as soon as my brush hits the paper. 10 I can see my work getting better and better with tireless practice, which has brought me great satisfaction. Such pleasure in process can influence how we see ourselves. There are dark days in our lives from time to time. But they are just pieces of our life journey. We are always learning, growing, and surprised by life.
A.Art helps us to connect us with others.
B.Making art turns our attention outward (向外).
C.However, there’s always something to like.
D.What’s more, we are also expressing ourselves.
E.Creating art can change and broaden (开阔) our minds.
F.When making art, we are making decisions about what we like.
G.We find ourselves wanting to know more about others’ artworks.

Every culture has its own proverbs (谚语). 11 They go back tens, hundreds, even thousands of years, and summarize the practical experience of the people who use them. Because proverbs give sound advice, they help
us make decisions. The Chinese proverb “One step in the wrong direction can cause a thousand years of regret.” is a good example. Anyone who’s about to make a decision in a rush, without weighing the pros and cons first, is warned of the terrible consequences (后果) of a bad choice .
Sometimes proverbs can seem to have different meanings. 12 Some think that the proverb is a warning for people who keep moving and never settle down. If these people “ gather no moss (苔藓)”, then it means they haven’t achieved anything. 13 if you don’t move and change with the times, you’ll become like an old mossy piece of rock .
14 Maybe this is because proverbs have traveled and have been translated from one language to another, or maybe it’s because they’re just common sense. An expression similar to “ You’ll reap (收获) what you sow (播种).” appears in many languages, and it means that you’ll get what you give. One proverb in Malaysia, where crocodiles are common is “Don’t think there are no crocodiles just because the water is calm.”
15 All proverbs teach us that although societies are changing and becoming more developed every day, there are some basic facts about life and human nature that’ll never change.
A.Whatever advice they give, one thing is true.
B.People use the same proverb in different situations.
C.We often find that there are similar proverbs across cultures.
D.When we need help, we can read proverbs from around the world.
E.The English proverb “A rolling stone gathers no moss.” is one example.
F.Others think that the proverb is a warning for people who never do anything.
G.Proverbs are short sayings about life that are passed on from generation to generation.
(2024·山东济南·二模)There are 202 kinds of chameleon (变色龙) in the world that scientists know about. 42% of these different kinds of chameleons live in Madagascar.
16 Scientists used to think these animals do that to hide from danger. But now they know the main reason is to communicate with each other. Chameleons can change colors to draw other chameleons’ attention or to warn them to go away. They can use their colors to show that they are angry or scared sometimes. 17 It turns out that they stay safe by moving backward and forward in a strange way. By moving that way, the chameleon looks less like a moving animal. 18
A chameleon’s tongue is very long and moves very fast. To catch food, a chameleon hides in the trees until
an insect walks by. 19 A chameleon can catch insects as far away as two times its body length. The end of its tongue is very sticky. When a chameleon catches an insect, the tongue shoots forward at a great speed. And the insect is caught in a flash.
Chameleons are amazing animals. But like many other animals, they’re in trouble. 20 This is because the forests and other areas where they live are disappearing or are being changed by people. And when the area is changed too much, it becomes difficult for chameleons to live there. Scientists are working to help the endangered chameleons by learning as much as they can about these colorful animals.
A.Then it shoots out its tongue to catch the insect all of a sudden.
B.Are chameleons able to change colors from birth
C.So if colors are not for hiding from danger, how do chameleons stay safe
D.There’s usually enough time for the insect to run away.
E.Many kinds of chameleons are endangered at present.
F.Chameleons are famous for their ability to change colors.
G.Instead, that makes it look more like a leaf swinging in the wind.

Kids and teenagers who volunteer aren’t just helping their community. They might also be helping themselves. 26 It found that volunteering through school or community groups is connected with better wellness among children and teens.
Kids who took part in community service were 34% more likely to be in good physical health than those who didn’t, the study found. And those who volunteered were 66% more likely to be considered doing well in general. Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety (焦虑) than those who didn’t. The findings come from survey data (数据) provided by the parents of 50,000 kids in the United States ages 6 to 17. 27
Studies like this have limitations (局限性). Parents answered questions about their kids’ health and community service activities. But a parent might not know if their children experience anxiety or consider themselves to be healthy. 28 It can only uncover connections. So it’s impossible to say for sure that volunteering leads to better mental and physical health.
29 In recent years, more and more young people are suffering from anxiety. So there’s a clear need for convenient and useful mental health resources. Giving back to the community may be one such resource. Previous research has also found connections between volunteering and well - being among adults. Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose. 30 Generosity has also been shown to boost happiness and improve physical health. It might be a practice worth developing.
A.This type of data also can’t prove cause and effect.
B.Most of the kids showed great interest in the survey.
C.And it makes them feel connected to those around them.
D.But the data comes at an important time for youth mental health.
E.About half of those parents reported that their kids did volunteer work.
F.That’s according to a new research published in JAMA Network Open, in May.
G.Volunteering means developing new skills, sharing love, and making new friends.

Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
These are certainly words that millions of volunteers could agree with.
In the US, April is National Volunteer Month, to praise and thank volunteers who lend their time, talent, and support to what they care about.
71 People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal centre to help improve the treatment of animals.
Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, try out new skills and explore career choices. 72
Take Andrew Makhoul, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, as an example. Andrew didn’t spend his last spring break relaxing. Instead, the 19-ycar-old boy decided to do something for people who were less lucky than himself. He travelled to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Guatemala in Central America. 73 And it depends on volunteers to stay open.
Andrew doesn’t speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn’t a problem, “You communicated with love,” according to an article on his university’s website. And what he gave out, he got back. “ 74 ” Andrew’s first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he’d be back soon—because he saw love and hope.
US author Sherry Anderson once wrote, “ 75 ” And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do their work is “priceless”.

As a kid, it was easy to find books we loved. But now as we grow older and get busy, we don’t have so much time to look for books and can’t decide on what to read. 76
Judge the book by its cover.
77 But covers are carefully designed so that they can tell you what’s in the book, what kind of person it’s for and what to expect. So next time if you’re at a bookstore and are trying to decide which of the three or four books to buy, you can just trust the cover, pick what jumps out at you.
Choose not what others like but what you like.
People tend to read what others are reading, even though it’s not anything that they would normally want to read. 78 Unless you have the exact same taste as them, you might not agree that the book is great—and it might be difficult for you to get through it.
Drop the book if you find yourself scrolling through (刷) Instagram.
You know if you don’t like something. If you’re falling asleep, checking your phone or rolling your eyes as you’re reading the sentences, that might be a good sign that you don’t like what you’re reading. So put this book down. 79
80
Bookstores get to decide and store what they think will sell or will be interesting to their community. For that reason, you can look and see what’s on the tables at the front of the bookstore or what’s facing out on the shelves, because there is usually something that’s new and exciting to the world.
A.Store what local bookstores are selling.
B.There are many other books suitable for you to read.
C.Scrolling through Instagram might be a better choice.
D.Pay attention to what’s on display at your local bookstore.
E.Sometimes the book you’ve enjoyed has an embarrassing cover you don’t like.
F.But it’s better to trust what you like, instead of trying to read what your friends like.
G.Here are some tips that will help you discover a book you’ll enjoy and want to finish.

Many people are waiting for their ship to come in — when they’ve not even sent it out of the harbor (海港).
Winners simply do what losers don’t want to do. 82 Success is mostly just hanging on after others have let go! So the most important trip you’ll make is when you go the extra mile. Many people who have failed do not know how close they are to success when they give up. 83 One guy said, “The secret to success is to start from doing and to keep on doing.” So don’t give up because your trying times are hard.
84 If we keep doing, we can gain almost anything we want. Calvin Coolidge said, “Nothing can bring success like persistence (坚持). Talent can’t, for there are many talented people who are not successful. 85 Only persistence and determination can give you the power to succeed.” You see, you can succeed just like anyone else, just keep wanting it enough and to keep working for it enough. So why not decide it today to start going the extra mile on the road to your success
A.Remember it is important to keep working.
B.They made all the efforts without any results.
C.And they keep doing it till they finally succeed.
D.Give it all you’ve got and you can never fail.

Slow travel can mean taking a bike tour from one village to the next. 93 It can also mean covering long distances by train instead of by air so that you can enjoy the scenery (风景) along the way. No matter how you do it, the key is to slow down. You are to make the most of each moment of your vacation.
Slow travel has a few advantages. It allows you to form a stronger connection to your destination. You will stay in one place long enough to make friends with your neighbors and even pick your favorite coffee house. You will really take a break from your stressful life.
