It's very early in the morning and I'm sitting outside. It's also very cold and dark. With me is Jim Nightingale,and he is the reason I'm up so early. He passes me a hot cup of coffee. "Not long to wait now," he says. I hope he's right.

After a few minutes there is a very weak light in the east,and then I hear a bird singing. It sings very loudly and very clearly. "That's the robin (知更鳥) ，"says Jim. A few more birds start singing with the robin,and Jim knows the names of them,too. Half an hour later,there are more and more birds singing,and it's very loud!Suddenly,all around us is the sound of the birdsong. This is the dawn chorus (晨鳴) ，and it's beautiful.

"Wow,this is amazing！" I tell Jim,who is smiling. "Is there a dawn chorus every morning?"

"Birds can sing any time of the year,but the best time is the end of winter and during the spring. This is when the birds sing most."

"Really? Then,why do they sing?" I ask.

"Well,there are two reasons," explains Jim. "Most of the songbirds are males. They want to find a female (雌性) ，so they sing to show how strong they are. The female birds just listen and choose the best singer!The birds also sing to tell other males to go away. They need their own area. They don't like sharing with another male."

I listen to the birds,the songs seem too much to me. "Do the birds sing a special song in the morning?"

"That's a good question," replies Jim. "The successful birds have many kinds of calls and songs. Sometimes they copy the songs of other birds. This makes it sound like there are many birds in that place already and other males stay away. Also the female likes songs with different notes. Some birds,for example the European wren,have songs that contain over 700 different notes per minute！”

So,how does Jim know so much about birds? Well,he works as a volunteer for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He is trying to help the birds live in the modern world. " More and more of the birds' habitat disappears every year. The sparrow,for example,was a very common bird in the UK,now it's in danger."

By now the sun is up and the birds are quiet. It's light so they can start looking for food; they need a big breakfast after all that singing！

(   ) 11. Why does the writer get up early in the morning?

   A. To visit her friend.

   A. to call a female's attention

   B. to fight with other males

We always celebrated Dad's birthday on Thanksgiving Day,even after he entered a nursing home. As years went on,these celebrations had double meanings to us―a traditional birthday party for Dad,thanking him for all that he had done for us in our lives. When we knew it might be his last birthday,the whole family decided to get together for a huge birthday celebration at the nursing home.

Dad was a good storyteller and we were always his listeners. But at this special moment,I announced it was now Dad's turn to listen to stories for a change. I asked everyone to tell Dad why he loved him. The room became still. Then one after another,people told stories from their hearts,while Dad listened with tears in eyes. People brought kinds of stories back to our minds―stories about when they were little,stories about when Dad was young,and stories that shared family happiness.

The stories went on one after another. Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldn't wait to tell Dad why they loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many people in his life,here was our chance to celebrate him. A few months later,at Dad's memorial service,we more fully realized what we had given Dad that night. Those are the stories people usually tell at a funeral (葬禮) after a loved one is no longer alive to hear the words. They tell stories,full of tears. But we had given those memories to Dad in his life,and we had told them through laughter,accompanied (伴隨) by hugs and joys. He had them in his mind during his last days and months.

Words do matter,and they are enough. We just need to say them or to speak them publicly to the ones we love. That's the way to give back love and our chance to celebrate a person in his or her life.
