Question

Emily and Alex were happy when their family moved to a house with a very big garden. They liked to watch the birds flying among the trees in the garden. They even started to put food out to attract more birds. Everything was fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise (碰撞聲) on a window. Emily went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass.

During the next month, five more birds died in the same way. “Why would they fly to the windows?” they wondered. Finally they found out the truth. When the birds were flying, they couldn’t see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection(反射) of the garden.

The family tried keeping curtains(窗簾)across the windows, but this made the room dark. Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shape of a hawk. They made six hawks – one for each window. They stuck the hawks to the windows. When the birds saw the hawks, they would fly away. After that, there were no more dead birds.
