Crows are dirty birds because they live on bad food. Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way they are more useful to us than some other birds. They clean up the dirty things in our streets. Crows are always hungry. They look for food all day, and in the evening you can see them in large number flying back to their nests (巢) in the trees. They sleep there at night. Crows are much noisier than other birds. Very often a large number of crows will get together on one house and talk. Sometimes they talk together, and sometimes they do it by turns ( 轮流)like human beings(人). It is easy to tell(判断)from crows' sound whether they are pleased or angry. Perhaps crows talk a lot because they are friendly birds. A pair of crows will live together all their lives, and if one of them dies, the other one becomes very sad and quiet for the rest of its life and some time later it dies too. 56.

A. they will not live together B. neither of them can live alone happily C. they will die D. one of them will die B In the middle of a dark forest, there lives an owl(猫头鹰).

One day, a little bird goes up to the owl. She is crying. “What's wrong with you？”asks the owl. “I'm not happy at all. I don't want to be a bird, ”the bird says. “Why don't you want to be a bird？”asks the owl. “I am so small, weak and useless, ”she cries. “I want to be big and strong like the lion. He is very important, but I am not. ” Then the owl whispers(耳语)something in her ear. At once the bird dries her tears(眼泪) and goes away. One week later, the bird comes back. “Oh, thank you very much. You are a very wise owl, ”she says to the owl. “I am very happy now. Every day, I sit on the top of the tallest tree and watch for(监视) lions and tigers. When they come near, I shout at the top of my voice. Then my friends all run and hide. They are very thankful to me.

One day a man went into the shop. “That's a beautiful bird, ”he said to the pet shop owner. “But why is it so expensive？Is it an unusual bird？” “No, it's not very unusual. It's expensive because it can talk, ”the pet shop owner said. “I see. How can I make it talk？”the man asked. The pet shop owner asked him, “Do you see those strings tied to both of the bird's legs？” “Yes, ”the man answered. “Well, you pull those strings, ”the pet shop owner told him. “That will make the parrot talk. ” The man asked, “Do you mind if I try？” “Not at all, ”the pet shop owner said. The man walked up to the parrot and pulled the string on its left leg. The parrot said, “Good morning. ” The man pulled the string on the parrot's right leg. This time the parrot said, “How are you today？” “That's not very interesting, ”said the man. “Any parrot could do that. ”Then he laughed, “But what will happen if I pull both strings at the same time？” “I'll fall off my perch, you fool！”the parrot said. 64.
