Before winter arrives, many kinds of birds start to fly south. People often call it migration. How much do you know about migration? Why do only some birds migrate? How do birds know when to go south? Can they find their way?
Some birds fly south because they may die from hunger if they don't do that. The woodpecker(啄木鸟),for example, doesn't need to fly south because it can find something to eat in the bark(树皮) of the trees. But some birds eat grains(谷物). Their food disappears in winter, so they must fly south where food can still be found. But why don't they stay there forever? Perhaps they know if they stay in the south, they will eat up food there, too.
Birds seem to know when winter comes because they find that the days are getting shorter in winter. Once they leave from the north, the sun is really helpful. The sun is in different positions in the sky at different time of a day. Birds know the time of the day by watching the position of the sun. On long flights, most of the birds use stars to navigate(导航) their way.
The homing pigeon(信鸽) doesn't use the sun or the stars. Scientists believe that it uses the magnetic field(磁场) of the earth. One of the most amazing migrations is that of the tiny hummingbird(蜂鸟). It travels from Canada to Mexico—a long distance of over 3600 kilometers.

A.looking for food B.practicing flying C.moving to another place

B.they really need food.
C.it is one of their habits.
【3】On long migration flights, most birds find their way with the help of________
A.the stars B.the magnetic field C.the sun
【4】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A.The woodpecker doesn't need migration.
B.Many birds migrate in the middle of winter.
C.The hummingbird can fly to Mexico for food in winter.
【5】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The different ways birds use to migrate.

The Spring Festival is coming soon! Will you try making some paper cuttings(剪纸)? Paper cutting is one of the traditional folk arts(民间艺术) in China. It has a long history of more than 1500 years. People always use paper, scissors and knives to make paper cuttings.
It's difficult to tell when it started. People found paper cuts of animals in tombs(墓) in the Northern and Southern Dynasty(南北朝). By the Southern Song Dynasty, paper cutting had become an important part of everyday life. At that time, a young man would look at a young woman's paper-cutting skills before marrying her.
Paper cuttings are mostly used for decoration(装饰). In China, it is common to see paper cuttings on walls, windows, doors and mirrors during holidays. People make them to show their joy or their wishes for good luck and health. People also use paper cuttings as design patterns on clothing. They make the clothes look special and different. What’s more, paper cuttings are made to be great gifts for friends and love ones.
It is easy to learn paper cutting but very difficult to make it perfect. We need to learn how to use the scissors and the engraving knife. Moreover, we need a lot of practice to learn paper-cutting skills.
A funny thing is that, in many parts of China nowadays, paper-cuttings skills are still a must for women because people think they are a symbol of a clever mind.
【1】What tools(工具) do we need to make paper cuttings?
【2】When had paper cutting become an important part of everyday life?
【3】Why do people make paper cuttings on holidays in China?
【4】Is it easy to learn paper cutting and make it perfect?
【5】What do people think of women who are good at making paper cuttings?
