Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats are disappearing.
The scientists studied the migration, or flight, paths, of almost 1,500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas. The major danger for migratory birds is development. Building and paving have covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another.
For example, a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic. It flies all the way to Australia and New Zealand. The problem, according to investigators, is that many of these small birds die along their migration because they don't have a safe place to eat and rest. There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. \simply perish along the way,\
Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time conserving land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds.
\’’ one of the scientists says.
The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopover areas for birds that pass through their boundaries.
For example, one country might have preserved safe zones for migrating birds. But a neighbor country might not. A bird might die.
One scientist who is not involved in the report tells the Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds. He says small changes—like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of areas birds would be likely to use—could make a big difference.

Since the Second World War, there has been an obvious trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage．Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, “go steady” through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed．In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying heads over the ways of rebellious youth．However, emotional maturity does not grow with age; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five．Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten．
Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness．However, any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful．The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves one’s problems; more often, it merely worsens them．Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it; one might say that they are abandoning one idol only to worship another．Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success is the ultimate good, but they themselves are wrong in believing that they have found the true center of life’s meaning．Their expectations of marriage are essentially unrealistic and therefore incapable of fulfillment．They want too much, and tragic disillusionment (幻想破灭) is often bound to follow．
Shall we, then, join the chorus of those against early marriages? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are not bad any more than all later ones are good．Satisfactory marriages are determined not by how old one is, but by the emotional maturity of the partners．Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits．If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically practicable, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones． 32．From Para. 1 we can learn that
． A．emotional maturity automatically grows with age B．some old people disapprove of early marriage
C．growing group of college students are against early marriage D．the emotional expectations of young lovers are too high 33．The author’s attitude to marriage as an escape is A．negative
B．unsure
34．It can be implied from the last paragraph that A．early marriages should not be encouraged
B．later marriages are always better than early marriages

If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. 36 Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.
Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. 37 Your metabolism(新陈代谢) gets a head start. 38 If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie(卡路里) burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep. 39 Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.
40 If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to
stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.
