17.（23-24八年級(jí)下·江蘇無(wú)錫·期中）Every summer, abut three billin birds migrate (遷徙) frm Nrth Africa t Eurpe and Asia. In winter, they return t Africa. As they travel frm ne place t anther, they use the sun, stars, smells and landfrms (地形) t find the way.
The migratin is lng and difficult, and sme f the animals die during each trip. Hwever, it is nt this twice-a-year jurney that pses the greatest risk fr these animals. The main danger t the birds cmes frm hunters all ver the Mediterranean (地中海地區(qū)). Millins f migratry birds are killed every year. As a result, the bird ppulatin is falling.
In cuntries alng the Mediterranean, many migratry birds are illegally (非法地) trapped r killed. Besides traps, hunters als use electrnic calls t catch birds. They make bird sunds t attract the birds. Sme hunters als use nets t catch birds as they fly clse t the sea. “There are n birds,” said ne lcal man. “We walk fr hurs withut seeing any. It’s really frightening.”
Birds are in danger, and many cuntries are wrking t slve this prblem. In the Eurpean Unin, hunting migratry birds is illegal in sme cuntries, while in thers, it is strictly cntrlled—the birds can nly be hunted at a certain time f year. What’s mre, many nature-prtectin grups are making sure that laws are beyed. This has been successful in many places. Fr example, Sicily, an island f Italy, was nce a place where illegal bird hunting ften happened. Tday, it has mstly eliminated (消除) bird hunting, and as a result, birdwatching is becming ppular there.
Wildlife rganizatins arund the Mediterranean are helping t bring abut change. “Hunting bans (禁令) are wrking,” said Martin Schneider-Jacby, a bird scientist. “But there is still mre t d. We hpe t stp hunting and prtect birds’ living areas all ver the Mediterranean. If this can be dne, the number f birds will increase. There’s a lng way t g, but there is hpe.”

18.（23-24八年級(jí)下·江蘇南通·期中）Frest bathing began in Japan in the 1980s. It is a practice called shinrin—yku, which can be translated as “taking in the medicine r air f the frest”. It has recently grwn mre ppular wrldwide. When peple take time in the natural green wrld t “be” in a fully present way, studies shw it des gd t health.
One f the gd things f taking a walk in nature is getting away frm screens. When we enjy nature, we keep urselves away frm cmputers r mbile phnes. We take a break and allw urselves t get strength and energy back. During frest bathing, we are slwing dwn, stpping making quick decisins, experiencing the pleasure f nature thrugh all f ur senses, enjying being alive and enjying just the present mment.
In fact, frest bathing is als becming a mre and mre ppular way f treating stress (壓力). Frest bathing is believed t help thse experiencing stressful situatins. In ne recent study, peple wh frmed the habits f walking thrugh frests had lwered bld pressure (血壓) and gt ut f wrries.
At the same time bathing in frest air prduces mre natural killer—NK cells (細(xì)胞) in ur bld. Our bdy uses these NK cells t fight illness. One Japanese study shwed a rise in the number and activity f these NK cells amng peple wh frest bathe. Plants and trees in frests can als send ut smething called phytncides (植物殺菌劑). This tree il can nt nly prtect plants and trees themselves, but als help peple sleep well, lift md and attentin, bring jy and bst health.
Frest bathing needs repeated practice. It’s nt a ne-and-dne quick fix. Studies in England n green spaces shwed that spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature helps with gd health. It desn’t matter if yu break up the tw hurs int shrter walks in a lcal park filled with lts f trees r spend an afternn in a frest.
Taking a quick walk thrugh nature and rushing thrugh the activity t get back t wrk, let’s say, may nt be as helpful. Nr is it advised t play lud music as yu walk. Frest bathing shws a different way f life. Yu’re walking thrugh nature in a frest and taking yur time. Yu’re nticing feelings and staring mre f a relaxing and meaningful life.

Cmpared with studying, playing n smartphnes causes ur brains t give ut mre dpamine. Fr example, checking yur phne fr a text leads t a 400 percent increase in dpamine. But why?
When we visit scial media, we dn’t knw what we’ll see next, r wh will give pinins abut things we pst. This “magic f maybe”, makes the dpamine system active. We get excited wndering if we have messages frm ur friends. When ur expectatins are met, dpamine is given ut.

In fact, lightning is a big flash f electricity (電). It happens mre ften in the summer than in the winter. That’s because there are mre strms in the summer. Sunny weather and ht temperature heat the air and make water evaprate (蒸發(fā)). The ht air and water vapr rise int the sky. As they rise, they meet the cld air. The cld air makes the water vapr turn int water drps r ice crystals (晶體). Then they frm a clud.
Inside the clud, the water drps and ice crystals carry a tiny bit f electricity. The electricity cntinues t be strnger until the lightning frms. Lightning can jump frm ne clud t anther. It can als mve frm a clud t the grund. Smetimes lightning can even mve frm the grund up t a clud.
Lightning is five times htter than the sun. Lightning hits the air arund it s quickly that the air breaks ut. Thunder is a sund we hear when it happens.
