Amy ran home through the woods.

"Mum!" she shouted. "I see birds.Two.In cave （洞穴）.Beautiful!"

Mum smiled.Birds!Always birds!From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night，she thought only of birds.
Amy climbed straight to her attic room ﹣﹣her museum，she called it.Every shelf，every spare inch of floor，was

covered with nests，bird models and natural science books.The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds，all signed "Amy in the woods."
"Are those the same birds who built the nest last year？Will they return to the cave next spring？" Amy always wondered. "I will study my cave birds.I will draw them just as they are." Amy made up her mind.
In a week，the birds were used to her.They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her pencils.Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed.

When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite，Amy knew the birds would leave soon.But would they
come back？She had to know!

In bed that night，she formed a plan.

The next day，when the mother and father birds were away from the nest，she tied something to one leg of each baby bird.A week later，the birds were gone...

She ran to the cave.Watching the way the birds flew in and out of the cave，Amy knew her friends came back.But where were last year's babies？Did they return too？She began to search the woods near the cave，listening for their call.
Inside a little house，she found two birds building a nest.One wore a silver ring around its leg.Up the small river，under a bridge，she found two more nesting birds.And one wore a silver ring around its leg.

5．（8 分）

I don't believe it!I'm still sitting here writing my paper.I've had two weeks to prepare and write it and I need to hand it in tomorrow.A month ago，I made a decision to never leave things to the last minute.Well，I've failed.I've also been trying to go running to get fitter with my classmates after school for four weeks.But I really feel it's difficult to follow my plan now.Why is it so hard to break a bad habit and form a good one？
I've just read an article and I've discovered that it isn't my problem!In fact，it's our brains.Our brains are

programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits.Research shows when we do something the same way repeatedly，our brain notices.It's just like， "Oh，writing a paper is hard.We still have time.We can relax for now？ Got it!" If we always do things like that，we get "into the habit" of leaving things to the last minute.We may even get a reward （奖励） from this bad habit，at least at first.Our brain may say， "Ah，relaxation!I like this!" Slowly， it seems that we can't stop doing the habit or control it.Maybe it's because we don't know how to get the rewards
without doing it.

But that's not all.Scientists have also discovered that it takes ten weeks to form a good habit.That's because ten weeks is the amount of time the brain needs to change and accept a new habit as part of everyday life.The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks，everything becomes a lot easier.The bad news is that ten weeks is a
really long time，so you may give up your plan sooner.
So there you are.Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people，but our brains won't let us.Or is this just an excuse？Look ﹣﹣I've finished my paper on time!Anything is possible!
By Ana

（2） What can be a reason why it's hard to break a bad habit？

A. Our brains avoid doing things repeatedly.

B. Our brains are not programmed to notice it.

C. Our brains need relaxation from time to time.

D. Our brains enjoy getting the rewards from doing it.

（3） How many more weeks will it take Ana to develop her habit of running after school？

A.Four. B.Six. C.Eight. D.Ten.
（4） What does Ana want to tell us at the end of the passage？
A. You'd better finish your paper on time.

6．（8 分） Have you ever heard of upcycling？It is a way of turning old or unnecessary things into something useful and often beautiful.
Is it the same as recycling？Recycling usually takes old things，like paper and glass，and breaks them down to make a new product.When you upcycle an object，you are probably doing something different.You can simply refashion it.For example，you might make a bag out of an old T﹣shirt.Also，the upcycled object is usually in the same，or even better condition.
Upcycling isn't a new idea.Some of the best examples of modern﹣day upcycling come from the old times.In those days，things were repurposed over and over until they were no longer useful.Upcycling is a way of life.Things shouldn't be just thrown away when they can be saved and turned into something useful.
It's clear that upcycling is green.It is also considered to be more environmentally friendly than recycling.Upcycling can just require your own ideas and work，but recycling requires energy （能源） or water to break down things.
Grace，a young woman from the UK，takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses，shoes and even hats.Every day

she drinks some tea，then dries out the tea bags with the tea still in them.When they're dry，she takes the tea out and puts the bags together to make an item of clothing.This can take a long time，but Grace has made lots of artworks.
In fact，no matter you create objects from old things or buy ready﹣made products from upcycled things，both ways are helpful for the environment and can bring you something that's both beautiful and useful.Get started today!
