21、 When I was very young, I usually watched my grandma throwing out the crusts of the bread that were not fresh for the birds. Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds apart from the odd sparrow or starling. Later on, we discovered packets of "wild bird food" at the local store, which brought in more interesting species. Since then feeding garden birds has come a long way for me. Today, I can enjoy a wide variety of birds.Sometimes I wonder if we might be feeding our garden birds better than our kids.
All this comes at a cost to us of an estimated £200 million a year. But I firmly believe what the scientists from a university said, “Our generosity is having a major effect on the behavior, ecology and even evolution of these familiar species. ” Take the goldfinch for example. When I began birding in the 1960s, this was a fairly rare bird, found along low bushes or in fields with weeds. Today, they can be seen in four out of five gardens.
During the bitter winter of 1890-1891, workers in London gave the small amount of their packed lunches to starving songbirds. And in the 1980s, the British were encouraged to offer food to garden birds. Then, in 2005, came Springwatch, who put paid to the widespread belief that we should only feed garden birds during the winter. In fact, we should provide food all year round: the most crucial time is the early spring, when natural resources are at their lowest.
Some argue with greater reasons that because most birds coming to feeders are the larger, commoner and more aggressive species, they will gain an unfair advantage over the smaller and weaker ones. But this ignores one major benefit of feeding garden birds 一 the way it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who may find it hard to gain access to the wider countryside, including young children and sick, old, disabled people who prefer to stay at home most of time.

22、 I Curling((冰壶)is a winter sport played on ice.Therefore, it's most popular in northern countries like Canada.Curlimg is played in the USA by about 15.000 people.【1】Scottish winters were long and there were forms of cntertainment.So people began making a sport out of sliding heavy stones on the frozen lakes The game spread, and in the 1700s curling clubs formed Then Scottish soldiers brought it to North America.
【2】 Men, women, and children often compete on the same team, if they can slide a forty-pound stone down the icc! Both teams slide their stones toward the same goal.After all 16 stones have been cast. the team whose stone has slid closest to the goal gets one point.
【3】The ice is so smooth and thc stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly. 【4】 Water helps the stone slide, but it can also change the stone's path.

23、 Water keeps us alive. When it runs out, we have a problem.
About one out of four people on the planet are facing a shortage of water. Seventeen countries around the world are dealing with high-water stress. This means they are using almost all the water they have access to. Many are dry countries. Some waste much of their water. Some may currently use too much of their groundwater that they should be saving. Several big cities face acute shortages. These include Sao Paulo, Brazil; Chennai, India; and Cape Town, South Africa. A year ago, Cape Town faced nay Zero-the day when all its dams would he dry.
Climate change adds to the risk of water shortages. Rainfall is less steady. The water supply becomes less reliable. The days grow hotter. More water evaporates(蒸发)from lakes and rivers even as demand for water increases. By 2030, the number of cities in the high-stress category may have risen to 45 and include almost 470 million people.
All over the world, farmers compete with city residents for water. Rich urban places, such as Los Angeles, use too much water for pools and golf courses. But the worst problem is the growth of cities. Bangalore, India, for example, had a few years with little rain. It built over its many lakes or filled them with city waste. The lakes are no longer the rain water storage tanks they once were. Bangalore now imports water. A lot of the imported water, however, gets lost on the way to Bangalore.
To address this issue, what can be done? First, cities can plug leaks in their water distribution system. Wastewater can be recycled. Rain can be harvested and saved for hard times. Lakes and wetlands can be cleaned up and old wells can be restored. And farmers can switch from water-intensive crops like rice to less-thirsty crops like millet(小米).
Experts are looking at ways to reduce the number of people on the planet. They are looking at ways to reduce the size of cities. They are looking for ways to encourage people, factories and farmers to use less water.

C.The water supply relies more on rainfall. D.Hotter weather changes the water demand.
【3】What can farmers do to deal with water shortage?
A.Plug leaks in the water distribution system. B.Clean up lakes and wetlands and restore wells.
C.Reduce the number of people in the cities. D.Grow less-water consumption crops instead.
【4】What will be discussed if the passage continues?
A.How to prevent from climate change. B.How to inspire people to save water.
C.How to recycle wastewater in cities. D.How to make people get access to clean water.
