Birds can serve as indicator species that help us understand how healthy an ecosystem is. Below are some tips especially helpful to reduce bird deaths and support our feathered friends in daily life.

Keep your cat indoors

Aside from habitat loss, the next biggest cause of direct death for birds is outdoor cats. We have seen people create enclosed patios, so their cats can get outside time without posing a risk to birds. If you want to take your cat out, you can also try using cat leads or cat backpacks to keep them close.
    Make your windows more visible to birds

Window collisions kill up to a billion birds every year in the U.S.. A lot of people think that those collisions are occurring at the upper levels of high-rise buildings, but actually most of the collisions are occurring at the lower levels of these high-rise buildings. To make your windows more visible to birds, you can try putting up window film with dots (or lines) or adding a window screen or some kind of netting.

Turn off lights you’re not using

 Many birds migrate at night. And as they go, they’re attracted by light. Lights will draw birds close to buildings, and sometimes, they collide. Bird collisions also happen during the daytime, because birds can’t see glass. So one of the things that you can help with, especially during migration, is to turn off any lights that are not used.

We’d love to hear from you. If you have a good lifehack, leave us a voicemail at 202-216-9823 or email us at LifeKit@npr.org. Your tip could appear in an upcoming episode. The broadcast portion of this story was produced by Sylvie Douglis. It was hosted and reported by Audrey Nguyen.

21. From the passage, which of the following is the leading cause of direct death for birds?

A. Outdoor cats.                 B. Collisions on buildings.     

C. Harsh light.                   D. Habitat loss.

22. From the passage, what can we do to help reduce bird deaths?

A. Keep our cats close to birds.

B. Clean our windows thoroughly.

C. Construct no more high buildings.

D. Turn on lights only when necessary.

23. Where does the passage probably come from?

A. A radio program.              

B. A biology textbook.   

C. A science report.               

D. A tourist brochure. 

B

Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution to two of our country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than toss your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.

Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding and liners from old coats to line the insides.

It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags.

Sure, some people believe it would be simpler to help the homeless by raising money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita—whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life—and her fellow volunteers. “We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.

And, of course, there’s the symbolism of recycling bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com, “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”

24. What’s Oleita’s solution to the problem of garbage and poverty?

A. Talking people out of eating chips.

B. Conducting garbage classification.

C. Buying sleeping bags for the homeless.

D. Recycling chip bags to make sleeping bags.

25. Which word below can be used to replace the underlined word “sanitize” in Para.2?

A. Clean.             B. Displace.            C. Classify.            D. Analyze.

26. Which statement best describes the sleeping bags made by the Chip Bag Project?

A. Costly and time-consuming.                 B. Complex and fireproof.

C. Functional and light.                       D. Fancy and environmentally friendly.

27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Environmental protection comes first.

B. Poverty results in environmental issues.

C. Garbage and poverty could be dealt with together.

D. The homeless should help each other hand in hand.

C

If you’re a parent, you’re well aware of just how many challenges virtual schooling presents. It’s incredibly stressful to get your kids to pay attention in their “classrooms”. Well, now there’s another thing you need to worry about: hackers. As more school districts rely on remote learning, they’re increasingly becoming targets for cybercriminals.

Believe it or not, your email address is actually a hacker’s primary method of attaining your families’ personal information. That’s why you need to be on the lookout for phishing emails. These emails appear to be from a legal company you’re familiar with—like your bank, credit card company, an online store, or, yes, a school—but are actually from a hacker.

However, there are a few tricks to decode if an email is fake or not. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), these emails often “tell a story to trick you into clicking on a link or opening an attachment.” If you receive an email asking you to update your account, change your password, or make a payment, do a little digging first and contact the company directly to ensure that it is indeed legal.

There are indeed some alarming things a hacker can do when they steal your children’s information. According to FTC, “a child’s Social Security number can be used by identity thieves to apply for government benefits, open bank and credit card accounts or apply for a loan, which may go unnoticed for years—usually until they’re adults and attempt to open a credit card.” To make matters worse, a criminal doesn’t even need the child’s complete information to cook up a new identity. “Known as ‘synthetic identity theft’, the thief grabs a Social Security number and combines it with a fake name, address, phone number, and more,” explains the Identity Theft Resource Center, “That makes it a little harder for victims and law enforcement to notice the problem in the first place or take action after the fact.”

28. Why do we need to watch out for phishing emails?

A. They make our emails too crowded to operate.

B. They are from a legal organization that is familiar to you.

C. It is impossible to tell whether an email is authentic or not.

D. It may be quite easy for hackers to steal personal information.

29. Which method is effective to distinguish a phishing email from a legal one?

A. To put it into the trash with little digging.

B. To click on the link and open the attached files.

C. To update your account and change the password.

D. To check its validity with the sender of the email.

30. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A. The definition of “synthetic identify theft”.        

B. The approaches to protecting children’s information.

C. The consequences of children’s information being stolen.

D. The suggestions on preventing children from internet addiction.

31. What can be the best title of the passage?

A. Email hack: a disastrous threat

B. Email hack: an unavoidable issue

C. School hack: an unnoticeable but terrible threat

D. School hack: an invisible hand affecting children’s study

D

A Spanish rice dish; secreto de cerdo with pisto—Ibérico Pork with tomatoes, onions, eggplant, and peppers; and chicken and mushroom paella, will be served aboard the International Space Station (ISS) throughout the next week.

That, at least, is what four of the eleven crew members aboard the ISS will be eating, after a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifts off on April 8,2022 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying the Crew Dragon spacecraft. The flight, sponsored by the Houston-based company Axiom Space and known as Ax-1, is commanded by Axiom vice president and former astronaut Michael López-Alegría. Also on board are three business owners and charitarians: American Larry Connor, Canadian Mark Pathy, and Israeli Eytan Stibbe—each of whom who paid an estimated $55 million per seat for their 20-hour journey to the station and the eight days they will spend aboard.

Actually, they are not the first space tourists to the ISS—eleven in total over the past two decades; and all of them were adventurers who paid to fly aboard crewed by professional astronauts. AX-1 is the first fully private mission to the station—but not the last.

In a pre-launch press conference, Connor said, “We’ve spent anywhere from 750 to over 1,000 hours training. We’re going to do some 25 different experiments covering over 100 hours of research.” One such experiment will involve a brain headset that will conduct real-time electroencephalograms (EEGs) of the crew as they fly and experiments on in vitro stem cells.

There will also be time for a moving remembrance. Stibbe, the second Israeli to fly in space, once piloted military jets under the command of Ilan Ramon, the first Israeli astronaut, who died in the 2003 disintegration of the space shuttle Columbia. Several pages from Ramon’s diary survived the crash and Stibbe will carry them into the space.

Space is a hard business, a dangerous business, and an expensive business. But it’s also an emotional one. “Ramon was a good friend,” Stibbe added respectfully, “He was my commander.”

32. Why does the author show the dishes at the beginning?

A. To present the whole menu in the space mission.

B. To attract readers’ interest and introduce the topic.

C. To show the enjoyment of the crew members during the flight.

D. To highlight the wealth and social status of the crew members.

33. What’s the main purpose of the mission?

A. To maintain the ISS.  B. To provide space travel.

C. To help people settle in space.           D. To send Spanish food to space.

34. How does Connor think about the mission before he flies?

A. Fully-prepared and significant.           B. Expensive but worthwhile.

C. Difficult and dangerous.                  D. Adventurous and challenging

35. Why does Stibbe want to bring Ramon’s diary into the space?

A. Because he wants to continue writing the diary.

B. Because he can use Ramon’s diary as instructions.

C. Because he once piloted military jets under Ramon’s command.

D. Because he wants to show respect for Ramon in this way.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

We complain not only when it’s cold, but also when it’s hot. We complain about this and about that, to the point where our complaining becomes a habit by which we define ourselves. Complaining will always be easy.    36    That is to say, if the problem has a solution, we should simply do what needs to be done. If it doesn’t, we should let it go, as the Eastern proverb says.   37  

By complaining, we make ourselves the victims, and the more we self-victimize, the more we act the part.   38   . Usually, we complain because we are suffering and think there’s no solution to our problems. For example, we’re not satisfied by the way we look, we don’t have the job or car we’ve always wanted, or the money and resources we think we so desperately need, etc.

But if we really want to change this repetitive unhealthy situation, the first thing we should do is stop thinking so much and start doing more instead. In fact, a lot of the things we would like to have won’t satisfy the need that’s really troubling us.  39  Most of the time, that feeling is wellbeing. You just have to divide the goal into various steps and take one at a time until you reach the finish line. By approaching it this way, you’re at least starting to solve the problem that's the subject of your complaining, and focusing your energy on something productive.  40 

1. In the face of hard times, we tend to complain.
2. As a result, we get stuck on problems and don’t find solutions.
3. That will make you feel much better, instead of just complaining.
4. However, the hard part is taking responsibilities for our complaints.
5. There’s no point in tiring ourselves with something that’s out of our control.
6. Maybe what you want truly is hard to obtain, but don’t be discouraged for it.
7. Maybe what you want isn’t a thing, but rather the feeling that’s associated with it.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节和给定段落开头语进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

When I was six years old, I visited my grandfather’s farm in Kansas and he sent me into the woods to gather pecans（胡桃）for us to enjoy later. The pecans were about the size of a man’s thumbnail and just about the tastiest snack I’d ever had.

However, pecan picking was really tiring and my little bucket was only half full after working hard for a long time. I thought I wouldn’t let Grandpa down. Just then something caught my eye. A large brown squirrel was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree, jumped up to the trunk and disappeared in a large hole. A moment later the squirrel popped back out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place inside the hollow of the tree.

Not so secret anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my bucket. Now it was almost full! I was so proud of myself that I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. 

I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the bucket and asked, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.

Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the bucket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.
