Passenger p（旅鸽）once
flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers.
Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described
flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours.
It was calc that when
its population reach its highest point, there were more than 3
billion passenger pigeons & a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of
the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps
the most abundant birds in the world. Even as late as 1870 when
their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1
mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near
Cincinnati.
Sadly, the abundf
passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were
abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and
killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to
small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to
feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time.
The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.
By the g decades of
the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger
pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which
scattered（驱散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north,
where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their
decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen
In 189 state of
Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons,
but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10
years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot
by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds
survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately
as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1,
In the 18th and early 19th centuries,
passenger pigeons _______.
&& A. were thest bird in the
world&&&&&&&&
B. lived mainly in the south of America
&& C. did grem to the natural
environment&& D. Were the largest
population in the US
The underlird “undoing”
probably refers to the pigeons’ _______.
escape&&&&
liberation&&&&
D. evolution
What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?
&& A. To seek
pleasure.&&&&&&&&&
B. To save other birds.21教育网
&& C. To make
money.&&&&&&&&&&
D. To protect crops.
What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?
&& A. It was i by the
public.&&&&&&
B. It was declared too late.
&& C. It was
unfair.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. It was strict.

typica tamer (驯兽师) in
people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭子)and a chair .The
whip get all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show .In
reality, it’s the chair that does the important work .When a lion
tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to
focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time .With its
focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what
to do next .When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to
freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.

something you want to achiever (e,g. lose weight , start a business

front of you and never make progress ?
&This ups to no end because while all the experts are busy debating
about which option is best , the people who want to improve their
lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information .The
end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re
focused on the wrong things , and so we take less action , make
less progress , and stay the same when we could be improving .
&It doesn’t h be that way .Anytime you find
the world waving a chair in your face , remember this :All you need
to do is focus on one thing .You just need to get started .Starting
before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people .If
you have somewhere you want to go , something you want to
accomplish , someone you want to become ….take immediate action .If
you’re clear about where you want to go , the rest of the world
will either help you get there or get out the way .
Why does the lion tamer use a chair?
A. To trick the lion.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&B.
To show off his skill.
C. To get ready
&&&&&&&&&&&D.
To entertain the audience.
In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?

grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in
a village in Nepal.
& Documenting ngmi language and culture is
just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other
languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of
India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply
record these voices before they disappear without record.
& At the Unty of Cambridge Turin discovered
a wealth of important materials- including photographs, films, tap
recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were
badly in need of care and protection.
& Now, throu two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya
Project and the World Oral Literature Project- Turin has started a
campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores
