Hello, everyone. I’d like to tell you something about the clubs in our school. Let’s begin with our reading club first. It has about 90 members now. Every Thursday, the members get together to change their ideas on books. If you are a music lover, come to our music club. This club has 85 members, they usually meet on Saturday and sing some songs. At last let me introduce our birdwatching club. It has 50 members. They go to study birds once a year. They record their types and changes in numbers. Of course, there are also many other clubs in our school. For more information, please go to our school website.
听下面一篇短文，回答16至20小题。
I am Paul. I have lived in the countryside for over twenty years. There were many kinds of birds there when I was young. Every morning, lots of sparrows liked singing and jumping in the trees outside my window, while the swallows were busy flying out to find food for their babies. Sometimes in the afternoon, I could even see eagles flying in the sky.
However, I can seldom see the eagles or the swallows now. The number of the sparrows is getting smaller. Only some of them sing in the morning.
Why are there fewer and fewer birds today? First, I think it is because the environment is becoming worse now. The birds can’t find enough food for themselves and their babies. Second, I think it is because people often kill them for food.
Without the birds around, we won’t feel happy any more. So we must protect them. Why don’t we do something to help today?
