（一）阅读理解 A
Owls (猫头鹰) live in almost every country in the world. Most owls don’t sleep at night. When they fly, you can hardly hear them. They are very quiet. Owls are good at hunting (猎食). They eat a lot of things such as mice, snakes, small birds and even fish. Owls have very good hearing. That helps them to hunt well in dark places. Their eyes are special. Both of their eyes face front. They can see very far away. There are facial disks (面盘) around their eyes. These facial disks can help with their hearing. Owls can turn their heads 270°. That helps them see what’s going on all around them.
Maybe because owls look a little different and have special life habits (习惯), there are a lot of stories about them. Some cultures believe that owls are very clever and some cultures think owls may bring bad luck to people. However, owls are really good friends of people. They eat lots of mice every year. That helps save a lot of food for people. However, the number of owls in the world is becoming smaller and smaller because of people’s activities. Now owls are protected by law (受法律保护) in many places of the world. For example, in some places, people can’t keep an owl as a pet (宠物) at home.

Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in northeast China. It is one of the world's most important wetlands. The area provides food and shelter for wildlife. It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants，fish and birds.
Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round，while some only stay for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands，and the birds can easily catch them for food. Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for the rare red crowned cranes. There are not many red crowned cranes in the world. Some of them live in Zhalong.
Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings.This means that there will be less and less space for wildlife.
More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds，and they can be safe in Zhalong.
