Have you ever heard of San Juan Capistrano? It is a small city in southwest California,which is famous for an old Spanish 61. called the Great Stone Church. It was built in 1776. It has many beautiful doors and several large bells.
Although some places of the church have been 62.because of earthquakes and weather,it still attracts 63.of tourists from all parts of the world. They get together there to watch the return of swallows (燕子) .
A popular visiting day is March 19 that is the day when swallows return to San Juan Capistrano to repair the old nests which they left behind in October or build new 64. .
Almost without exception,the first birds can be 65. to arrive on March 19.
Surprisingly,once a swallow makes 66. home in a certain place,it always returns to the same site. As old birds die,young birds continue to live in the same location. The swallows in the small city have carried on this 67. for hundreds of years.
As well as arriving on March 19th,the swallows almost always leave on the same date each year,October 23. One story says the birds have been 68. only once because of
a storm at sea.
