题目内容

One day，I saw some children trying to catch butterflies.This made me think of my own childhood.

When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina，we lived near a forest，and every evening mockingbirds(知更鸟) would come to the trees and sing.I was so interested in watching birds.I planned to catch a bird and keep her in a cage so that I could hear her sing at any time.

I finally caught one.On the second day，the bird's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth.The baby ate everything her mother brought her.I was glad to see this.The following morning when I went to see my mockingbird，I was surprised to find she was dead in the cage！How sad I was!

When Arthur Wayne，a famous ornithologist(鸟类学家)，visited my father，he heard my crying and told me，“If a mother mockingbird finds her young baby in a cage，she will bring poisonous(有毒的) food to the baby.She thinks that it is better for her child to die than to live in a cage.”

Since then，I never caught any animals and put them in a cage.All living animals have a right(权利) to live free.

Hummingbirds are birds from the Americas.They are among the smallest birds.They get their name from the humming sound they make as they fly.

Hummingbirds live mostly on nectar(花蜜)，a kind of sugar water found deep inside flowers.Drinking nectar almost all day long gives hummingbirds the energy they need to keep their wings beating fast，typically around 3，000 times a minute.Hummingbirds' hearts beat fast，up to 1，260 times a minute(yours beats about 70)．And they breathe about 250 times a minute.So they need a lot of energy.This means that hummingbirds need to eat almost all day long.They fly from flower to flower，seldom at rest.

As a hummingbird feeds，its beak(鸟喙) and face get covered in pollen(花粉)．When the bird visits their flower，some pollen falls off.Hummingbirds help the flowers by spreading pollen around from plant to plant.It's a fair trade：the hummingbird gets a meal and the plant gets to make seeds(种子)．

For humans，eating sugar all day would lead to serious health problems.Our bodies could not deal with that much sugar.But hummingbirds burn their sugar as quickly as they eat it，so it doesn't become a problem.In fact，hummingbirds don't live on nectar alone.They also eat a lot of insects and spiders.And maybe with enough nectar，the spiders don't taste quite so bad.
