It is difficult to forecast the weather. It is even more difficult to know what a season will be like. A native (土著的)American tribe (部落) was (16)      enough to survive (挺过)last terrible winter. One day in early September the head of the tribe asked his men to(17)      some wood to build some houses. Several days later,some people asked what the winter was going to be like. The head decided to ask the National Weather Service for(l8)       . "Yes,it is going to be a cold winter" the weatherman told him. He went back to his tribe and told his men to collect some firewood (木柴). Two weeks later the head called the National Weather Service again. "Are you still forecasting a(19>       winter?" he asked. "Yes,very cold," the weatherman told him. As a result,the head told his men to collect(20)      firewood. A month(21)      the head called the National Weather Service once more. "Yes,it is going to be one of the (22)      winters," the weatherman told the head patiently. The weatherman was right! And the native American tribe (23)      comfortably through the freezing (极冷的)winter. The head was thankful (感激的)to the weatherman. He called the weatherman(24)      and asked, "How did you know it was a freezing winter?" The weatherman said, "Because the native Americans are collecting (25)      like crazy."

If we find a bird nest,we will have a good place of observing (观察)and knowing about birds.

Birds sit on eggs and take care of their baby birds from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nests,the mothers often leave and come back to the nests during the time to look for food. So it is good to observe birds. When we observe birds,we'd better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest,and it's better to use binoculars.

But how to make a bird nest? It's very easy. If you want to make one,please follow these:

a)  Each nest must have six boards (板).Don't make the boards too slippery (滑的).

b)  Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a door. The door is big enough for a bird to fly in or out easily.

c)  Make sure that the rainwater doesn't go into the nest.

d)  One piece of the boards should be easy to open.

e)  Please don't forget to colour the nest.
