Heimaey(赫马岛), an island in Iceland, is home to just about 4, 200 people. But each spring, more than 1.5 million puffins(海鹦) visit Heimaey and its neighboring islands. They go there to breed(繁殖). Around August, puffin chicks head for the ocean. That’s when the trouble begins.
Puffin chicks usually follow the light of the moon to the sea. But Heimaey’s bright lights make them unable to think and act right. Each year, a large number of them end up lost-or worse. Often, some are hit by cars or eaten by cats.
Luckily there is the Puffling Patrol(巡逻队). Each breeding season, the children of Heimaey work together to form search groups. At night they go to the streets carrying flashlights and cardboard boxes. “When you see a bird, you try to corner it and get it into the box,” Eldur Hansen said. The 14-year-old boy has caught several puffins this way. No one knows exactly when or how the Puffing Patrol got its start. But each year, it saves thousands of puffin chicks.
Puffins are now listed as a vulnerable species(易危物种). The main reason is that the number of small fish in the ocean is dropping. This is because of overfishing, pollution and rising ocean temperatures. Puffins need the fish for food.
Scientists worry puffins will die out if ocean temperatures continue to rise. But the Puffling Patrol inspires(鼓舞) them a lot. “The message is that people can make a difference,” says Dr. Stephen W. Kress, an expert in seabird protection.
16. The puffin chicks’ trouble begins _____.
A. in spring B. around August
C. when they are born D. when they arrive at the ocean
17. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Cars. B. Cats. C. Puffin chicks. D. Bright lights.
18. What can we know about Eldur Hansen?
A. He was once hit by a car. B. He is afraid to go out at night.
C. He keeps some puffins as pets. D. He took part in the Puffing Patrol.
19. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. What puffins feed on. B. How puffins catch fish.
C. Why puffins are a vulnerable species. D. Why puffins are important to the ocean.
20. What does Dr. Stephen W. Kress probably agree with?
A. The Puffing Patrol does a good job. B. Puffins will die out in the near future.
C. Haimaey has less pollution than before. D. Ocean temperatures will continue to rise.

My Favorite Thing
My favorite thing from childhood is a toy car. I have had it for 9 years. My father gave it to me when I was five years old.
I like it so much because I played with it every day when I was young. It’s special to me because it was my fifth birthday gift that my father bought.
The toy car has given me many memories. I remember when I was twelve I still played with it. I would never go to bed without it. One day I couldn’t find it after I returned home from school. I asked my parents to help me find it. We looked for it everywhere until my mother found it under my bed.
To be honest, I have not played with it for a long time. I decide to give it to a boy in the children’s home to cheer him up.
