Whether summer or winter, holiday time can mean travel. A few years ago, some people moved from California to Maryland with their birds. Traveling with birds is a very unusual experience. But everything can go well with a little planning. There are some good tips for you.
★ The first thing you have to decide is what cage your birds will use. You should make sure that the cage is neither too small nor too big, and can be put into the car easily. If you find that you need a travel cage, get it a few weeks before the trip, so you can give your birds time to get used to it.
★ If your car has the airbag, do not put the cage in the front seat. The force of the airbag even in a little accident could easily damage any cage and even injure or kill the bird inside. The cage should be held in the car with seatbelts.
★ If your trip takes several days, you need to make some stops at pet-friendly hotels. When you stop at hotels during the trip, you must put lots of newspapers under the cage to help control the rubbish.
★ If your travel or moving plans bring you to areas with hot weather, remember that the car will become very hot in a short time in the sun. Never leave your birds in the car alone.
Traveling with birds can be stress-free, and a little planning can make it a pleasant experience.

There are nearly 400 different types of sharks, but only about 30 types have even been reported as attacking human beings.
The chances of being attacked by a shark are very small compared to other dangers. Many more people drown（溺死）in the ocean every year than are bitten by sharks. The low number of attacks that happen every year proves that sharks do not feed on humans if they have the choice. There are three types of shark attacks. The main one is known as a ‘hit and run’. The shark attacks because it thinks you are a fish, but when it tastes a human it decides not to eat you. The second type is called a ‘bump and bite’. The shark bumps you to find out if you are fit to be eaten and then bites you if it thinks you are. The third type is called a ‘sneak’. When attacking in this way, the shark waits for you to swim by and attacks you suddenly. The latter（后者的）two types of attack are more likely to be deadly for humans.
However, your chances of being attacked by a shark can be reduced if you follow the advice below.
Do not swim in the dark. Sharks can still see you but you cannot see them.
Do not swim if you are cut or if you have a fresh wound. Sharks can smell blood over a long distance.
Do not wear bright clothing or jewellery because sharks are attracted to colours and shiny objects.
Try and stay in groups, as sharks usually avoid large numbers of people.
Don’t be frightened（受驚嚇）by sharks as there is 30 times greater chance of being hit by lightning than being attacked by a shark.
【小題1】Are there only 30 types of sharks in the world?
【小題2】Are the chances of being attacked by a shark small or big compared to other dangers?
【小題3】What are the two deadly shark attacks called?
【小題4】Why should you try and stay in groups to avoid the shark attack?
【小題5】What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?

People have different ways to express love. Once, our teacher asked us to talk about it. There were all kinds of answers. Someone said we could use flowers to express love; someone said we could use languages;（1）someone said we could _____ troubles and happiness _____ each other. A girl told us a true story.
A young man and his wife were both biology scientists. They often did some research（研究） on wild plants in the forest. They had a clever girl and they loved each other.
One day, they went to the forest as usual. But when they climbed up the hill, they were afraid. A lion was watching them. They didn’t bring a gun（槍）with them. It was impossible to run away. Their faces got pale and they stood there without moving. The lion stood there, too. （2） After a few minutes it came up to them slowly, and then it ran faster and faster. It came in front of his wife. Just at that time, the man shouted in a loud voice and began to run away. The lion turned around and began to run after the man. Lions prefer to attack（攻擊）the running person. It is the lion’s character. After a while, the man was killed by the lion. The woman came back safely.
The girl asked us if we knew what the man had said. All the students gave one of these two answers. One was, “Honey, sorry.” And the other was “Hurry, run”. But the girl said we were all wrong. The man shouted to his wife loudly, “Take care of Lily. Live happily.”
At last, the girl said, “At the most dangerous moment, my dad ran away alone. He used the special way to show his love.”
