Birds can see colours, just as people do． Birds need to see colours when they fly because they need to find places to land（着陆）． Colours help them know    16    the place is and what it is like so that they can catch flying things in the air or land on something they think safe．

Birds can “tell” the differences between colours． But for some    17    animals, such as wolves, the world looks like a black and white photo． Wolves look for food mainly by    18    ．

They can hear    19    when the animals they hunt move． But other animals seem to know this． For example, a rabbit will stop moving when it finds there is something    20    ． Then the wolves    21    not find it at all． However, birds are better than wolves in these ways． They can see dead insects from far away．

Some birds’ eyesight is    22    than people’s． They can see small insects    23    they fly in the sky． Because they are able to    24    colours, they can find food easily and     25     if (是否) there are other animals that are dangerous to them．

Autumn is the time to eat someseasonalfoods． During this time, crab(蟹肉) is very delicious． Pears, beans and many other plants are there to harvest． You can pick and eat these fresh fruits and vegetables．

Most areas in China become cool after the Autumn Equinox． Many flowers blossom during this period． You can enjoy the cool weather and the beautiful flowers in a park． So why not have an outing on the weekends?

I love eating hairy crabs． They are so tasty． I want to live by Yangcheng Lake so that I could eat them every day． The hairy crab is a kind of seasonal food． It is delicious in late autumn． If you like it, you can go to Yangcheng Lake after the Autumn Equinox．

Hello, this is your gardening adviser．

Now, just as our garden are at their most colourful, and most productive time, what do we do? We’ll go off on holiday． What I suggest you do is this: invite a friend or neighbour to help you． You can ask him to water the plants in the greenhouse until you return, but first make sure that he knows how to do it． What he should not do is throw water over the leaves of the plants themselves, because if he does that, it will invite diseases． Also for the same reason, ask him if he can possibly water in the morning, rather than in the evening．

If you haven’t got a greenhouse, there is one safe and easy way to keep the plants well when you are away, and this is how you do it． Place six-inch-deep newspapers in the bottom of the bath． Yes, the bath! Turn the tap on and keep the water running until the papers are all wet． Now put the flower pots（花盆）to stand on the wet paper, go off on holiday, and they should be alive and well when you return in two weeks’ time．

Thank you for calling． Goodbye and good gardening!

Connecting with Nature

How do you feel when you hear birds singing freely in the trees? What’s your feeling when you see butterflies dancing slowly and lightly in the wind? Whether you love researching the outdoors or watching far away, getting close to nature can keep your mind away from your worries and make you feel relaxed．

What is nature?

Nature means the world around us that is not man-made, including birds, mountains, trees, the sea and the stars． It’s a force and can control things like weather． We can find nature wherever we are and wherever we go—beaches, gardens, parks, rivers, and even unexpected places like cracks(裂缝) in the stones．

Why does nature make us feel good?

Spending time in nature makes our lives peaceful, joyful and wonderful． It takes us outdoors, gets us active and lets us care more about the environment． Even a little gift of nature can make us feel free and hopeful, such as breathing in fresh air, listening to the wind in the trees or standing at a mountain． Ralphie, who is 10, likes being close to nature on a bike with his family． He says, “It makes us feel happy and takes our mind off things because we have to pay attention． We are away from traffic and we hear more birdsong and see more wild animals．”

How can we feel closer to nature?

Feeling closer to nature is easy． We can build a connection with nature wherever we are using our senses． Try listening closely to birdsong, smelling flowers and feeling sand between our fingers． Paint a picture and take photos of the natural places that we like best． They may help us feel closer to the natural world． It’s important to try and connect with nature, notice its beauty and how it makes us feel．
