Birds usually build their nests with leaves or grass. But do you know that birds are also building their nests with rubbish nowadays They use cigarette butts (烟头) and shopping bags.
A group of scientists looked into about 35,000 studies on bird nests. They found that birds used rubbish in nests almost everywhere on earth except Antarctica (南极洲). Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds “like putting it in their nests.” For example, cigarette butts have special smell, so they can keep insects away and protect the baby birds. Shopping bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger.
However, in the end, human rubbish may only be bad for birds. The dangerous chemicals (化学制品) in cigarettes hurt the baby birds. They may get sick or have shorter lives, according to a study.
Except for the rubbish, if the cigarette still burns (燃烧) when the bird brings it back to its home, it may fire the nest. If the baby birds eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they may also get hurt.
Don’t let our waste find its way into nature. And this can make a big difference!

The pirates, the Lost Boys, the Indians and the beasts are all walking round and round the island in a circle (圆). They never catch each other because they are all walking at the same speed. At the end of the procession, there is an enormous crocodile (鳄鱼). The boys are the first to leave the circle. They disappear very quickly into their home under the ground. The entrances to their home are in seven large trees. There’s one for each Lost Boy—Nibs, Slightly, Tootles, Curly, the Twins—and one for Peter Pan. Each boy enters through a hole in the trunk (枝干) of his tree. Hook does not know where their home is, but he wants to find it.
Later Nibs goes out for a walk. While he is walking through the woods, the pirates see him. Starkey, the ship’s mate, takes out his pistol (手枪) but Hook stops him and says, “No. I don’t want to shoot one Lost Boy. I want to kill all of them. Go and look for them! I want to find their house!”
The pirates disappear into the woods. Now Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, the ship’s bosun, are alone. Hook begins to talk about the Lost Boys.
“I want Peter Pan, Smee,” he says. “Peter Pan and the crocodile made me lose my left hand.”
“Oh, yes. I know that you are afraid of crocodiles,” says Smee.
“I am not afraid of all crocodiles,” explains Hook quickly. “Just one crocodile. It has my hand and now it wants to eat the rest of me.” Then he sits down on a large mushroom.
“Smee,” he says. “That crocodile wants to kill me, but luckily it has a clock inside it. The clock makes a noise: tick-tock, tick-tock. When I hear the tick-tock of the clock, I have time to run away before the crocodile can catch me.”

Do you sometimes wonder why some friends feel as close as family Genetics (遗传学) might have a hand in choosing your closest friends.
According to a US study with 1,932 people, friends have a kinship coefficient (亲缘系数) that is 0. 0014higher than that of strangers! The kinship coefficient is an easy way to see how genetically related (相关的) two people are-the higher the number, the closer the relationship.
Don’t look down on this number. The kinship coefficient between parents and children is about 0. 25. For first cousins, it is about 0. 0625, while for fourth cousins, it is around only 0. 001. This means you might share more genes (基因) with your best friend than with some distant (遥远的) family members.
Why are people with a high level of kinship coefficient more likely to become friends A study in Science showed that close friends usually have similar body smells. Scientists collected sweat samples (汗液样本) from20 pairs of friends. They all became close in a short time. Using an e-nose and human volunteers to study the smells, they found that friends’ body odours (体味) were more alike than those of strangers. So, next time you hug your friends, you might notice that they smell a bit like you!
37. How does the writer start the passage
A. By showing examples of close friends. B. By asking and answering a question.
C. By listing some important numbers. D. By sharing a story between friends.
38. What can the kinship coefficient show
A. How much two friends have in common.
B. How distant two friends can be from each other.
C. How close the genetic relation between two people is.
D. How long it takes for two strangers to become friends.
39. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. Our best friend might be a distant family member.
B. The kinship coefficient between two friends is 0. 001
C. Best friends have a higher kinship coefficient than first cousins.
D. Best friends may share more genetic similarities than distant relatives.
40. According to the passage, how may people become close friends
A. They like the smell of each other’s body. B. They grow at a similar pace.
C. Their body smells are similar. D. Both friends like the same smell.

Sugar painting has a long history. It started from the Ming Dynasty and got more popular in the Qing Dynasty. Now it is still welcome in many places of China, such as Chengdu. People can often see it at parks or on streets. The sugar painters usually sit behind a table. There are two revolvable arrows (可旋转箭头) on the table. There are different kinds of pictures such as animals from the twelve zodiacs (生肖), flowers or fruit. To make the sugar paintings, the painters need to prepare sugar first. Then, they keep the sugar at a high temperature (温度). When it’s OK, they quickly paint the pictures by moving their spoons up and down, left and right before it cools.
After giving money, people can turn the arrow to see where it stops. Then they wait for the painter to make the sugar painting for a while. At last, people can enjoy the beautiful and delicious food.
