背景介绍
威尔德船闸位于乌得勒支市的西面，是鱼洄游的“交通要道”。这个船闸平时被当作桥用，在春天，通常只有船只通过的时候才会打开。春季鱼类洄游经过时如果船闸没有开，它们就只能迷茫地原地打转。随着鱼越堵越多，水鸟会聚集于此吃掉这些鱼。鸟吃鱼是自然的一环，但如果鱼的数量大幅下降，水生昆虫就会大肆滋长，导致河流的水质变差，生态系统崩坏。这就是马克发明“鱼门铃”的原因。
Doorbells are the bells (铃) for people to ring at a door. When someone hears it, he or she can open the door, Do you know that you can ring a doorbell for fish, too
Every spring, millions of fish migrate (泡游) along the river in the city to find better places to lay eggs. But in the river, there are many locks(水闸).They stop fish from swimming through, Weerd Lock is in Utrecht,the fourth largest city in the Netherlands.When fish get there, they have to wait a longtime before the lock opens for boats to pass through. The lock keeper there is glad to open the lock for fish, but he cannot tell when fish want to get through. So in 202l, Mark van Heukelum, a scientist, came up with a good idea to help solve this problem - by using the fish doorbell.
Under the water near the lock, there's a camera. People from around the world can visit a website (网站) to see fish through the camera.When you see a group of fish waiting, you can ring the doorbell on the screen. And when the lock keeper notices it, he will open the lock for the fish.
In its first spring season in 202l, people around the world rang the fish doorbell more than 100,000 times. If you want to join them to help fish, visit the website and ring the fish doorbell next spring!

Are you a big fan of the movie Alvin andthe Chipmunks(《鼠来宝》) In the movie,three cute chipmunks can speak, They areexcellent singers. They enjoy living with their human friend Dave. How about the real-life chipmunks Chipmunks look very much like squirrels(松鼠), but they spend much of their time on the ground. People name this animal chipmunk because they make the special chip-chip sound.There are as many as 25 kinds of chipmunks,and most live in North America. A wild chipmunk can live for 2 to 5 years.Chipmunks are very small, and they enjoy living by themselves. When they are two months old, they leave their mothers to live alone. They build their own homes and start collecting food there all by themselves. They do not like living or making friends with other chipmunks much.Not like other hibernating(冬眠的) animals, chipmunks do not live on body fats(脂肪) during winters. They collect and keep food during summers and eat it during winters.In winter, they don't sleep all the way through the winter, They are light sleepers and wake up every few days to eat food.Chipmunks may not be as popular as pet dogs or pet cats, but they can be good ones, They can feed on many things from vegetables and fruits to nuts (坚果) and bird eggs. They sleep at night, so you don't have to look after them during night time. But you have to remember one thing- chipmunks have trust problems, so it takes time for them to become close to you.

But there isn't any book in it.Then instead of walking them to school as I do on the other school days, I drive them to a nearby park. This is where they are going to spend the day and have lessons. Right, my boys go to a forest school once a week. It is from8:30 am to 3:30 pm. A group of kids explore(探索) the forests, lakes and animals in nature together.
I love the idea of the forest school, but I worried about a few things at first. Would the teachers let the kids play freely Would my kids be safe outside for that long Would they enjoy themselves
The fact is that my boys get used to the school life quickly. Most of the time, they plan their own play, climb tall trees, build fires and do many other interesting things. The teachers never tell them that their play is too high, too fast, or too dangerous. They only follow the kids and help when something goes wrong.When I pick the boys up at the end of the afternoon, they often look lively, happy and never want to leave. The forest school teaches them to look after themselves and get along well with nature. I think that is important.
