【题目】 A warm story has been taking place on one end of Islington Road.

Glenda and Raphael Savitz met with each other in 2011 in Boston. They fell in love and got married in the fall of 2013. In the summer of 2016, the couple moved to Auburndale, Florida. Three months later, their daughter Samantha was born..

However, within a week, the doctor told them that their newborn baby was deaf. It was a hard blow to the couple. What should they do? They had no choice but to help her learn sign language. "We are going to learn it, too. It is important for her growth and development," the mother said.

But they didn't expect it when their neighbors all started to learn sign language. " We were excited that this new baby was coming," said Jill McNeil, one of the neighbors. "But it's frustrating （令人沮丧的）not to be able to say, " Oh, Samantha, I love your pretty pink pants. " To communicate with the cute girl, they had to know her language. So these neighbors hired a tutor without letting Glenda and Raphael know.

Go. Like. Want. Eat. Play. Have. Make. These adult-students started with simple words. They then learnt to ask questions in sign language, such as " Who do you live with?" and " Where does your family live?"

Now the American Sign Language has become a second tongue in the neighborhood. These kind neighbors practice it with the girl almost every day.

Growing up in such a warm neighborhood, Samantha is now a happy and energetic（充满活力的）girl. She greets her neighbors every time she sees them. It's an amazing situation, since deaf children can be shy.

Samantha is a lucky girl. She has found real family among all those people next door.

Picky, Picky

Scientists have no idea exactly why birds choose certain objects to build their nests. But scientists know that the main reason birds build nests is to keep their babies safe, warm and healthy.

Baby birds grow faster and are healthier when they are warm. They also learn to fly and leave the nests sooner than birds without warm homes.

What A Yarn (纱)Is

Yarn is big on an oriole’s shopping list during nest building. Scientists are still trying to work out why so many birds choose white yarn over other colors for nest building.

Scientists think that the white objects remind birds of cotton fluff (绒毛) they find in the wild.

Do It Naturally

Even though birds can help us recycle some of our junk by using it to build nests, they also need to use lots of natural things. Long grass, dried sticks, spider’s silk and mud are some of the natural ingredients that are good for nests, too.

You can make a collection box of things to leave for birds so they can help themselves. Hang a small plastic box with holes on a tree branch. Fill the box freely with nest building goodies. Hang the box on a tree and watch birds climb on board to pick through the junk to find their treasures.

Warning: Don’t let the birds turn into a tasty treat. Keep your bird station away from places where cats hang out.

For The Birds!

Stop! Don’t throw all that garbage out! Give some to the birds. Look and see how your old junk can help beautify and warm a bird’s new home.

【1】The baby birds with warm homes are able to ___________.

A.learn to fly earlierB.grow slower

C.build better nestsD.leave the nests safer

【2】What can people make for birds to build nests?

A.A warning board.B.Holes on a tree branch.

C.Food in the garbage.D.A collection box of things.

【3】What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To tell us how birds build nests.

B.To show the importance of nests to birds.

C.To tell humans what they can do to help birds.

D.To show the bad relationship between birds and cats.
