Every winter, Siberian cranes（白鹤）migrate（迁徙）from northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province, China. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season there. However, climate change has endangered the birds’ habitats（栖息地）.

“In some years, the Poyang Lake experiences floods（洪水）, while in others, it experiences droughts（干旱）. Both of these create food shortages（短缺）in the birds’ habitat.” Qian Fawen, a researcher from the National Bird Banding Center of China, told China Daily.

To help deal with the problem, the local government has built 70 hectares（公项）of lotus roots（莲藕）in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes. The birds’ population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to Qian.

Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds and wetlands. Known as the “Earth’s Kidneys（肾脏）”, wetlands play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity（生物多样性）. The Wetlands Protection Law was introduced on June 1, 2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and not allow activities such as overgrazing（过度放牧）and giving out wastewater.

Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands. In February, black-faced spoonbills（黑脸琵鹭）, an endangered species, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years. Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans（小天鹅）up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021.

1. The bird population is rising in Nanchang because ________.

A．climate change doesn’t affect the placeB．the city offers more food for birdsC．extreme weather hasn’t hit the city

2. What is the main role wetlands play?

A．Providing habitats for migratory birds.B．Looking after water and biodiversity.C．Avoiding overgrazing and water pollution.

3. Paragraph 4 is mainly written to show ________.

A．what China has done to protect migratory birds and wetlandsB．when the Wetlands Protection Law was introducedC．how China deals with water pollution and overgrazing

4. What do the examples in Paragraph 5 show?

5. What is the structure of the story?

文章大意：本文主要介绍了动物度过寒冷冬季的多种方法。

【推荐1】Snow is falling. It’s getting cold. We wear coats and hats to make us warm. How do animals spend the winter?

When it’s cold, some animals travel to warm places to find food. Monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) in North America always fly to South America for winter. There they can find enough food.

Some animals don’t fly away. They make some changes (改变) for the winter. Red foxes (狐狸) usually eat fruit and it is their favourite food. But in winter they change and eat small animals such as mice.

Some animals eat little or no food in winter. Before winter comes, they eat, eat and eat. Then they get fat. When winter comes, they take a very long sleep. Black bears do this. Before the sleep, black bears make warm beds with leaves and grass. They can sleep for about seven months without food!

Some animals live in the zoos. How do they spend their winter? They are from all over the world. Animals such as giraffes and monkeys are afraid of the cold. So every zoo has warm rooms for them. Don’t worry! The animals are happy and warm!

【推荐2】Experts in nutrition(营养)suggest that we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day. They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well. They can help reduce the risk of getting ill. There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to choose from and they taste delicious. 1

It's easy to buy your food from the local supermarket so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own? Here are several good reasons:

2 You can pick and eat it at once. When you have tried it, you will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything you can buy in a supermarket.

You may want to cut down on your “food miles”-the distance that a product has travelled before it reaches your kitchen. Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth. 3

Homegrown food is likely to be healthier. Food producers often use fertilizers(化肥) and pesticides(农药) which can end up in your food. If you grow your own, things are different. 4 You might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit. These often have more of the vitamins, minerals(矿物质) and protein(蛋白质) that keep you healthy.

5 And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard or a balcony(阳台). Some food can grow well in pots, including lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. You can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something. Just make sure there are holes for drainage(排水) and a small plate under them to catch drops of water.

Happy gardening!
