It was a great pleasure for the family to move to a house with a very big garden. Betty and Tony could climb up trees, grow flowers and even play badminton. They liked to watch the birds flying among the trees in the garden. They even started to put food out to attract more birds.
Everything was fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise on a window. Betty went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass. Its neck seemed to be broken. "It must have flown into the window." Tony said when his sister Betty called him to have a look. "Ah, yes, look here. You can see the mark where it hit the window. There are a couple of tiny feathers stuck on the window."
"Poor thing!" Betty said.
During the next month, five more birds died in the same way. "Why would they fly to the windows?" They wondered. Finally they knew the truth. When the birds were flying, they couldn’t see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection(倒影) of the garden. They thought that they were flying into trees because they saw trees reflected by the window.
"Something has to be done to save the birds." the parents decided.
At first, the family tried keeping curtains(窗帘) across the windows, but this made the room dark. Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shape of a hawk. They made six hawks — one for each window. They stuck the hawks to the windows. They looked pretty and did not keep out much light. When the birds saw the hawks, they would fly away.
After that, there were no more dead birds. The family were much happier.

Zhang Ming. a college graduate from Shandong, created a 9-page"WeChat guide"(微信指南) to parents. With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. "My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to usetechnology, "Zhang said.
Zhang’s experience is common nowadays. In the world, 40%of parents learn about new technology,
including computers, mobile Internet and social media(社交媒体), from their children, according to a survey from the International Communication Association. Parents teach their kids almost everything when they are young. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students and the students become the teachers.
The change of roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, according to ZhouXiaohong, a professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children more ways to get information. So, it’s possible that children know more than their parents do these days.
According to the China Internet Network Information Center, in China, 56. 7%of Internet users and 67.2%of social media users are under the age of 30. Young people usually act as a link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves.
In Zhang Ming’s eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him closer to his parents. "People can communicate more by using new technology. Why should we keep our parents out?"said Zhang.
6. From the first paragraph we learn that"We Chat guide"____________.
A. is created by Zhang Ming’s parents
B. has 19 pages
C. explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls
D. has only pictures in it
7. What does the underlined word"they"refer to?
A. Parents. B. Kids. C. Teachers. D. Students.
8. According to the Passage, ____________ of social media users are under the age of 30.
A. 40% B. 56. 7% C. 67. 2% D. 80%
9. What does the underlined word"link"mean?
A. 权利 B. 典范 C. 素材 D. 纽带
10. From the passage we can infer(推断)that ____________.
A. most parents learn about new technology all over the world
B. young people can be their parents’teachers in the age of new technology
C. Zhang Ming created"WeChat guide"in order to become famous
D. old people needn’t learn new technology
