四．阅读表达 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题
Have you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wi-Fi in their houses? Have you ever searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be "Yes". Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can't live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing(连接)the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.
A rich, powerful organization（组织） in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites（卫星） into low Earth orbit(轨道)in 2015.
This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population（人口） have been able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure(基础设施)to access the web.
We can expect to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.

Welcome to the website of the Wensum Valley Birdwatching Society (WVBS).
The WVBS is an active and friendly Norfolk?birdwatching society with more than 100 members. We welcome new members and membership(会员资格) is open to all.
We hold?indoor meetings, with a guest speaker, on the third Thursday of each month at Western Longville Hall for All and organize bird-watching field trips each month.
The WVBS covers the area of the Wensum Valley (?http:?/??/?www.wvbs.co.uk?/?wensum-valley-birdwatching-society?/?" \t "_blank" \o "The Wensum Valley?)? in Norfolk which follows the River Wensum between Norwich and Fakenham.
We have a good mix of experienced birders and beginners and we are always happy to welcome new members and visitors to any of our activities. (If you are interested in joining, follow the heading for “Join Us”). It is our hope that our activities will foster(培养) an interest in birds and encourage a wider appreciation(欣赏；评价) of our natural world—— an ever more important task as more demands are being made on our environment.
We look forward to welcoming you.
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, mothers 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” can’t be too small, 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 color the nest.
B
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak（虚弱）, when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory (记忆力)works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories ? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.
