Wucheng: A Winter Home for Birds and People
Every winter, a small town near Poyang Lake becomes the world's busiest "bird airport". Over 600,000 birds arrive in Wucheng, Jiangxi. Among them, there are about 4,000 white cranes(白鹤)—that is almost 98% of their world's population.
To protect these important visitors, Wucheng built special safe zones. Nearly 1,600 white cranes gather(聚集) at Dahu Pond. Nearby at Changhu Pond, about 30,000 ducks swim and dive for food. These amazing sights attract thousands of birdwatchers, who use cameras and telescopes(望远镜) to discover wildlife. One of the birdwatchers, Lin Yue, said, "After the trip, I realized how closely connected we are with nature here."
In fact, things were totally different here ten years ago. Local fishermen used to catch birds and fish. Now, many have become protectors. Zhang Haiping, for example, runs a popular hotel and farms rice in Wucheng. In autumn, he always leaves part of his rice for the hungry birds. As bird numbers rose, so did tourism. Thanks to the bird tourism, Zhang makes ten times more money than before.
Wucheng's story shows a powerful truth: protecting nature not only saves wildlife, but also feeds local communities.
How many birds fly to Wucheng in winter according to the text
A. Nearly 1,600.
B. About 30,000.
C. Over 600,000.
D. About 4,000.
What can we know about local fishermen now
A. They catch more fish.
B. They protect birds.
C. They guide tourists.
D. They stop farming.
Why does Zhang Haiping leave rice for birds
A. To catch the birds for food.
B. To keep the birds away from his farm.
C. To sell more cameras to birdwatchers.
D. To help feed the hungry birds in autumn.
新考法 写作手法 How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 3
A. By listing reasons.
B. By giving an example.
C. By comparing numbers.
D. By mentioning possible results.
What can we learn from this text
A. Tourism can be bad for nature.
B. White cranes only live in safe zones.
C. Protecting nature helps both animals and people.
D. Birdwatching needs expensive cameras and telescopes.

A
（郑州市郑东新区玉溪初级中学期中）Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily who loved to read books. She dreamed of becoming a writer one day, but she had trouble with her writing. Her stories were often messy and hard to understand. Every time she tried to write, she would sit in front of her notebook for hours, looking at the blank page and feeling like she would never be able to come up with good ideas. Finally she felt discouraged and wanted to give up.
One day, Lily's teacher gave her some advice. "The key to good writing is practice," the teacher said. "Keep trying, and you will get better." She took the advice to heart. She started writing every day, even if it was just a few sentences. She also read more books to learn from other writers carefully, studying how they crafted (创作) their stories and characters.
Slowly, Lily's writing improved. Her stories became clearer and more interesting. She began to experiment with different styles. She even won a school writing competition! The joy and pride she felt in that moment were hard to describe. Lily realized that persistence (坚持) and hard work were the secrets to success. She continued to practise and never gave up her dream, knowing that with every word she wrote, she was one step closer to becoming the writer she had always dreamed of being.

My Free-time Activities
As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." I have many free-time activities, such as reading books and playing badminton. I like reading because it can open my mind and let me know more about the world. I usually read storybooks for half an hour before going to bed every day. Playing badminton is also my favourite. I play it with my best friend every weekend in the park. It not only makes me healthy but also lets me relax after busy study. These activities make my life more colourful. I think they are great ways to make my free time meaningful.
