Every year， millions of birds are killed or hurt when they fly into
buildings. Why does this happen？ 1. Birds sometimes fly into tall
buildings that are all covered by glass.
Many birds fly from one place to another. Most of the time， they live
in the wild， such as forests and wetlands. 2. They might see small
trees and flowers inside a building and want to rest on these plants. The birds
do not know there is glass between them and the plants. 3.

Some birds fly at night. They use the moon and stars to help guide them
in the right direction. Tall buildings with lights on at night can confuse the
birds. 4. The birds see the light， but they cannot tell that the light is
coming from the lights inside a building. They fly toward the light and crash
into a building. In the mornings， there might be several dead birds lying on
the ground.

They may look like something in an amazing movie， but narwhals（独
角鲸） are real animals. Here are some fun facts about narwhals.
Narwhals change colour a few times during their lives. Most baby
narwhals are blue-gray. But as they grow older， their colour changes to
blue-black， while adult narwhals are usually gray with dark spots. Old
narwhals are almost all white.

Like elephant tusks（长牙）， a narwhal’s tusk is a tooth. It can grow
as long as 3 metres. ▲ They use tusks to attract female narwhals.
Narwhals also use their tusks to hit fish so they can catch and eat fish easily.
Narwhals are among the deepest diving（潜水） whales， reaching
depths of about 1，500 metres—although some can reach depths of over 1，
700 metres. Narwhals usually stay less than 50 metres from the water. But
they can stay underwater for 25 minutes before needing to come up for air！
一
二
三
四
Living in the cold Arctic waters of Greenland， Norway， Russia and
Canada， narwhals don’t have a dorsal fin（背鳍）. The absence（缺乏）
of a dorsal fin makes narwhals prevent heat loss and helps them to swim
under the ice.
Known as the “unicorns of the sea”， narwhals are really interesting
animals you must watch when you take a trip to the Arctic Circle.

Once a king got two nice falcons（猎鹰） from his son. He had never
seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the
best falconer to train them to fly.
After several months， the king came to see how the training was going
on. One falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky， while the other
one was staying on the branch of a tree quietly.

The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every
way they could to make it fly. But none of them succeeded. One day， while
the king was taking a walk in the forest， an idea came to his mind. He
decided to find someone who knew the natural environment well to solve the
problem. Then he sent for a farmer who lived in the forest to train it at once.
The next morning， the king saw the other falcon flying in the sky
freely. “It is unbelievable！” shouted the king. “How could you make it
happen？”

The farmer replied， “It’s very easy. I just cut off the branch where the
falcon rested.”
We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well， but we often
seem not to notice them and stay where we feel safe and comfortable. We
won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are
resting on breaks.

Creating a bird-friendly balcony
Good afternoon， everybody！
I’m very glad to share my topic with you. I’m Li Lin from Class 1，
Grade 8. Today I’d like to talk about creating a bird-friendly balcony.
Birds play an important role in nature. They bring nature to life
and I love nature. Some people keep birds as pets， which prevents them
from flying freely. The number of birds has also decreased dramatically
over the years. So let’s create a bird-friendly balcony.
一
二
三
四
That’s all. Thank you！
First， find a right place on the balcony and make a house for the
birds. Second， use feeders to provide birds with the food they like.
When they are hungry， they will come to your balcony. Third， cover
the balcony with their favourite plants. Fourth， put some water on the
balcony. If they are thirsty， they may come to drink. In a word， if you
want to create a bird-friendly balcony， try to offer the birds something
they’re looking for. In this way， the living environment of birds can be
greatly improved.

Katie was waiting for Gulliver’s calls. Instead， she just heard sparrows
making noise in the bushes. “Maybe Gulliver missed the harbour，” Dad

Katie waved to Ernest， her uncle’s neighbour， on the boathouse. The
gull’s name， Gulliver， was given by him. The gull’s size and his single leg
made the bird itself different. But Ernest told Katie what Gulliver did that
first summer Katie and her dad came caught everyone’s attention. Young
Katie lay in her stroller（婴儿手推车） on the floating dock（码头） when
Uncle Ralph and Dad were repairing boats nearby. The waves from the
passing boat made Katie’s stroller shake strongly. “Kee-aah！ Kee-aah！”
Gulliver made the loudest cry. Dad and Uncle Ralph rushed to Katie and
stopped the stroller from falling into the water.

They kept a close eye on Katie after that. Another summer Katie was three
years old， she liked to touch everything. But Dad didn’t watch her every
minute when she tried to catch small ducks around or fish from the water.
“Kee-aah！ Kee-aah！” The gull’s cry brought Dad back in time. He
stopped Katie as she tried to follow the small ducks running towards the
water. Several summers passed， and Gulliver continued to call out as Katie
tried new things.

This summer Katie did the usual by-the-sea things she’d learned to do.

looked up and tried to catch the last warmth of the sunshine through dark
clouds， she saw a single white feather. A gull feather？ She searched the
sky for an answer. Putting her arms around her knees， she closed her eyes to
hold in the tears（眼泪）. “Kee-aah！ Kee-aah！” Katie sat up.
“Katie！ Katie！” Soon， Dad and Uncle Ralph appeared. “How
lucky！ We heard Gulliver as we came around the rocks，” Uncle Ralph
said. “At least ...it sounded like him. Strange， he was nowhere in sight.”
Katie remembered the feather. She said， “I thought I heard him too.”
