To make people walk more, this new app on the mobile phone is paying people, which is based on(在…基础上)their daily walking steps.With this app, walkers can earn one "Bitwalking dollar" for about 1000 steps (about 8 kilometers). Three bitwalking dollars can be earned by one person per day at most. The money people earned can be spent on online shopping sites(地点)or exchanged for cash(现金).One idea behind the app is to make people healthier. But the designers also have another goal: to improve people's lives. In poor countries, people have to walk far to work, or to school, or simply to collect water. Workers in the countryside earn less than one dollar a day. By walking around with the Bitwalking app, they could earn three times more.The company has also set up Bitwalking centers in some poor areas. At the centers, local people will learn how to use the Bitwalking dollars or trade(交易)them for cash. Bitwalking is really helping to change lives.78.

Everyone was happy that Jess believed it. But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was not true.At first, Cindy thought it was fun. But later, when Jess told her that he was going to buy a sleeping bag with his savings. Cindy had a second idea.

Her close friends would be angry with her.78. How did Jess feel when he found the invitation that morning?79. Why did some of his classmates give him the invitation?80. Is it necessary for Cindy to tell Jess the truth? Why or why not?78. He felt happy.79. They wanted to play a trick on / make fun of him.80. Y es.

Why don’t you and your family come and have dinner with me?”“Bars are bad places,” said my grandmother when I told her, but we decided to go.The bar was not at all what I had expected.

The girl talked about her special trip, “I think this was a meaningful climb for me.” Minnal has to wait for some years to climb the Everest because climbers have to be at least sixteen years to climb the peak.How did it all start? It all began last year when Minnal’s mother decided she might want to climb the famous Himalayas. As a good hiker, she asked both father and daughter if they were up for the challenge(挑战）.This year, on 20 May, the family flew to Nepal.Minnal told that most of the eight days were spent hiking ten to fifteen kilometres from 8a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.

牛津译林版八年级上册英语期末复习：阅读理解专项练习题(含答案)

牛津译林版八年级上册英语期末复习：阅读理解专项练习题ⅠAEveryone needs friends. As the old saying goes, "Friendship is one mind in two bodies."But how can you find a real friendship and keep it? The Care and Keeping of Friends written by American author Nadine Bernard Westcott tells young students some smart ways to find friends.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good fiend should do his or her best to help you. To make friends, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.But things cannot always be happy. Even best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, you can have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk with you, you may write a letter. Nadine says there are three steps about being friends again: tell him or her how you are feeling, say what you have done (已经做) wrong, and explain (解释) why you did this or that.The book also gives advice on some small but important things like celebrating your friend’s success (成功) .Even if you haven’t had a real fiend before, you will tart to think about having one if you read this book, because the book tells that friendship is the most important thing in your life.1.A good friend should ______ .A. have a lot of moneyB. be good-lookingC. be kind and patientD. be successful2.You can take ______ steps to fix a broken friendship.A.2B.3C.4D.53. What can’t you do if your good friend has done wrong?A. Write a letter to him or her.B. Have an honest talk with him or her.C. Tell him or her how you feelD. Have a fight with him or her.4.The writer of the passage really wants to tell us ______ .A. life is great if you have friendsB. an old sayingC. Nadine is an American writerD. what makes a good friendBI still remembered my first day of second grade. I walked into the classroom. No teacher yet. Girls were talking. Boys were trying to kill each other. I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk. "What’re you doing?" she said. "Writing to 100," I replied."Is that you can do?" "No," I said. Then when I stand up from my seat to get my pencil sharpener, the desk fell over and hurt her leg.Her name was Jane. From that day on, she was my best fiend. Many years later, after college, I moved to California. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.TV ads try to tell us what children need for school-new shoes, clothes, schoolbags.But rally, children’s needs are simple. They need the gift of friendship. For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I understood. I didn’t need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and got a prize for "Friendship". Even an Olympic medal wouldn’t make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know that they have all hey need and the best way to win friends is to be one5.

My best friend JaneB. How to choose friendsC. My first day at schoolD. Friendship is importantⅡAIn ancient India, there was an emperor (皇帝) named Akbar. He liked to ask his people strange questions. It was very hard to answer these questions and few people could answer them correctly.Once, he asked a very strange question. None of his people knew the answer. At this moment, a man named Birbal came to the emperor. "May I ask what the question is?" Birbal asked. Akbar said, "How many crows are there in this city?" Birbal answered quickly, "There are 50,589crows,my lord.""How can you be so sure?" asked Akbar. Birbal said, "Make your man count, my lord. If you find a greater number of crows than I gave, it means some have come to visit their friends here. If you find a smaller number of crows, it means some have gone to visit their friends elsewhere."Akbar was very happy with Birbal’s answer. Some questions may seem quite difficult, but actually they are open-ended ones. We just have to think about them in a cleverer way, as Birbal did.1. Emperor Akbar liked to ______ .A. ask strange questionsB. talk with peopleC. make fun of peopleD. visit clever people2.The underlined word "correctly" means " ______ " in Chinese.A.正确地B.完整地C.清晰地D.乐意地3.

Ideas are importantC. Uncountable crowsD. Think in a clever wayBHave you ever got your lunch, but not known where to sit? You don’t want to sit alone. But you are not sure who would be friendly and let you sit with them.Natalie Hampton, an 1lth-grader from Sherman Oaks. Calif. designed a new app called Sit With Us. It makes finding friends in the school lunchroom very easy. The free app went online on Sep.9. Students can sign up as "ambassadors" (大使) for a club. Then they can post "open lunch" events to invite others to join in.Natalie got the idea to create the app after she ate alone every day in her old school. The experience (经历) made her feel sad and she was even bullied. She changed schools because of that.People may want to know why you don’t just ask to sit down. Natalie said the app stops kids from being rejected (被拒绝) in front of others."This way it’s very private. It’s through the phone. No one else has to know. And you know that going up to a table won’t end in rejection," she said.So far, the app works well."I had my first club meeting, and everyone was very excited. People are already posting open lunches at my school. So I’m very excited," Natalie said.6.

And one event made our visit seem truly magical.We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice cream was not allowed on the ride.Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff (员工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, "Promise?" Then she gave Murphy her ice cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride. Sure enough, as we walked out of the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with "her" ice cream. Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice cream thirty seconds before we walked out of the exit. Gloria said "thank you", but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice cream.We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special.

The biggest dinosaur egg ever found was the size of a football.

It is also the first city in the US to join the "Lights Out Plan". Last month people turned off the lights in the city’s tall buildings so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes.There areover9,000kinds of birds in the world,and about 600 kinds of birdsmigrate. Every year in autumn. some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south,and come back the next spring. Birds migrate for several reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold,so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons too. Birds need to find more food and have babies in the south. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same"house"they lived in last year,so they fly back there.Usually birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky at night. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them for stars. Unluckily, this may make them lose their way. So Chicago decided to take action to help those poor birds. Turning off lights really gives birds a hand.1. Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights?A. Because they wanted to save money.B. Because they liked the dark night.C. Because they were afraid that birds would make much noise.D. Because they were afraid that birds would lose their way.2. What does the underlined word"migrate"mean in Chinese?A. 迁徙B. 定居C. 冬眠D. 重生3. The passage says that birds find their way by ______ .A. following the windB. looking at stars at nightC. remembering the cities on their wayD. looking at the lights in tall buildings4. Which of the following is NOT a reason for bird migration?A. They can’t live in cold winter.B. They need to find food in thesouth.C. They want to find their family members.D. They give birth to babies in the south.5. We probably read the passage in ______ .A. a storybookB. a history bookC. a newspaperD. a travelling bookBMany of us enjoy watching birds flying in the sky. But do you know they can teach us?Geese, for example, teach a very good lesson about teamwork. In the fall, Canada geese (加拿大黑雁) fly to the warm south to get away from Canada’s cold winter. They lift off in no order. Yet quickly they form (形成) a V shape with one bird leading the group.This V shape allows geese to save energy. When the lead bird moves its wings up and down, the resulting force of air lifts the next one. This continues down the line. The lead bird in front has the hardest job. When it gets tired i moves behind and another bird moves to the front. By sharing the role the group can travel great distances.During the long flying journey geese communicate with each other. They honk (鸣叫) from behind to encourage the birds up front to keep up the speed.What can we learn from the lovely geese’s experience and skills? ______6. Why do geese form a V shape while flying?A. To keep warmB. To save energy.C. To make them get tiredD. To get more food.7. Which bird in the picture works the hardest?A. aB. bC. cD. d8. The underlined word "force" means " ______ " in Chinese.A. 温度B. 队形C. 力量D. 角色9. Which sentence can be put at the end of the passage?A. Work together!B. Don’t give up!C. Take the lead!D. Try your best!10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. There is always one goose leading the group while flying.B.

Every morning the farmer fed Bill in one corner and then fed Ben in another corner. This went on for many years. One day the farmer decided to do a little test. When the two donkeys were sleeping, the farmer tied a rope around Bill's neck. Then he tied the other end of the rope around Ben's neck. Hethen put some oats (donkeys' favourite food) in Bill's corner and in Ben's corner.When the two donkeys woke up, they were quite surprised to find a rope around their necks.

牛津译林版八年级英语上册阅读表达专项练习Mr. Brown works in New York and he brought his family to China last summer. They visited many places of interest and had a good time here. Before they left for Shanghai, the Browns climbed up the Great Wall. It was the greatest project over two thousand years ago. They took a lot of photos there and then they had a picnic under a big tree. Suddenly it began to rain and they hurried to the car.

They could buy another camera but had no time to go to the Great Wall again. They could not miss the plane!That evening they didn’t have supper.

But he didn’t hurt himself. ”“It was a miracle(奇迹)!” called out his children, “Why?”“Because he lived on the first floor!”They all began to laugh while two policemen with a bag came in.

But you would never know it now.”Jordan looked at Kaitlyn. “See? That’s what I told you!” he smiled.“In fact,” the ranger continued, “we have found fossils up here of large and small dinosaurs.”Jordan and Kaitlyn stepped closer to listen.“ Not all fossils are of animals,” the ranger said. “There are sea shell and plant fossils up here, too.”“But fossils are usually hard to find.

Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam result or praise(赞扬)from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such "good" things.Success comes from a good attitude(态度).If you learn from problems, you will have success in the future.Some school students have problems, such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us that happiness comes from thinking in a positive(积极的)way. If you are tall, people notice you and you can get a better view(视线)at the movie; if you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom!This is Matthews' most important lesson; You choose to be happy!1. What's the name of the book written by Andrew Matthews?2. What's in Matthews' book?3. According to the passage, where does happiness come from to many teenagers?4. According to the passage, what does Matthews think of happiness?5. What's Matthews' most important lesson?HLinda Edwards was full of happiness because her lost cat Spas was returned to her after he was missing for 12 years!Spas went missing in 2002 and Edwards looked for him every day for three months. She searched all around her town aid even wrote letters to some newspapers for help. But she was never able to find him. At the end of the three months, her search stopped.But someone recently discovered a dirty, thin stray(流浪的;走失的)cat in the street and took him into West Flamingo Animal Hospital. The people working in the hospital checked the cat and were sure enough that his name was Spas and he belonged to Linda Edwards! "An old lady found the cat on Sunday and brought him here. We scanned(扫描)his microchip(微芯片)and we could find out his owner. The cat, whose name is Spas, has been missing for 12 years! " said a doctor. It is a way to recognize pets by scanning their microchips if the stray animals belong to anyone who muld be missing them It also allows animal services to know if the animals have a family waiting for them Linda was very thankful that she had Spas taken the microchip and was so excited to get him back!"I have a second chance to play with my cat, " she said. "This would never have happened if there were no microchips. "1. When did Linda Edwards find her lost cat Spas, in 2012 or 2014?2. How long did Linda Edwards look for her lost cat Spas?3. Who took the cat to the animal hospital?4. How did the animal hospital know the owner?5. If you have a pet, will you have your pet taken the microchip? Why or why not?IYou may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating(毁灭性的)waves, wind, and rain. They happen during "Hurricane Season", which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.Categories(类别)of Hurricanes: There are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害)a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm is. For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.Hurricane Dangers: When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a devastating flood. The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually(事实上) a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it's over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.Hurricane Safety Tips: There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.●Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh drinking water, and enough food.●Tell neighbours, friends, and family members your emergency plans. Tell them where you'll go if you need to leave your home.●If you live near the ocean, leave your home and travel to a safe place. You could stay with a friend or a family member, in a hotel or in an emergency shelter area.●Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured(受伤)if you go outside.1. When is Hurricane Season in the Atlantic Ocean?2. What are categories of hurricanes based on?3. What is called the eye?4. How many hurricane safety tips are mentioned(提到)in the passage?5. What should you do most probably if a hurricane happens?(自拟一句话)JEveryone needs friends. A friend can give us help and share our difficulties and happiness. But how can we make friendsFirst, to make friends, you must be friendly to others. Smile at others and you are sure to get a smile in return. You should try to make a stranger feel at home wherever he happens to be. Think more of others than of yourself and never judge a person by his appearance and clothes.Second, friends should negotiate(商量)instead of quarrel(争吵)，When you don't agree with someone, please discuss with him.Finally, never believe in those who leave you when you are in trouble. And never leave your friend when he is in trouble. Remember, a friend in need is a friend indeed.Friends should be faithful to each other. So long as you can put your friend's interests in front of yours, you will have a lot of good friends.1. Why do we need friends?2. If we smile at others, what will happen?3. Put the underlined part into Chinese.4. What kind of people shouldn't we believe?5.

But sometimes in China, we must be careful with art of gift giving.●Never give our friend a clock in China. Because it is a sign of sadness and tears, and it has the same sound as the word "die" in Chinese.●The Chinese don't have the same lucky numbers as the westerners. For example, 6 is a good one in China. It shows that everything is OK with us. So gifts with NO 6 can bring people happiness. One of the unlucky number is 4. It gives people an idea of bad luck.●Gift giving is often connected with colours in China. Chinese people like to use the colour red when they have something to celebrate。

The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water, leaving him just enough to live.The situation became so serious that the vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would die. The tree answered back by not protecting the vegetables from the hot sun, so they began to dry up.

When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables realized that it was better to help each other. They learned how to live in harmony with those around them.

The noise of bees made me worried, but I could do nothing.I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool, but I didn't remember doing it. I was just so happy to be free from the pain.But we still weren't out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool, the bees flew back over our heads.

牛津英语译林版八年级上册期末复习专项练习-任务型阅读A卷AWe throw away many things every day, though some of them can get a new life after a simple repair. The trouble is, lots of people have forgotten that tliey can repair things themselves or they no longer know how. It's a skill quickly lost.Repair Cafds change all that! They are free meeting places about repairing things together. In the cafe, there are tools and materials to help visitors repair anything, on clothes, furniturc. bikes, toys and so on. Volunteers are there to give them a hand. If they have notliing to repair, tliey can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Or tliey can help with someone else's repair job. They can also get ideas at the reading table by reading books on repairs and DIY.Matt Brewer is the director (负责人)of a Repair CafO. Also, he is a teacher at a high school. In his eyes, being a teacher not only means teaching students to get high scores in exams, but also means passing some important life skills on to them. Some of his students study many different skills and try to make broken things work again by themselves in his Repair Cafe. Zander and Chase are two of them.Recently. Zander and Chase helped an old lady repair a telephone・ The phone was so old that the two had never known it. but that didn't stop the repair team. Brewer taught them to use the tools and then fixed the telephone. When the old lady told them the phone was nice to use, they were both happy. "It's fiin to leani how to repair tilings,H Zander said.BStephen and Ashlie are visiting the seaside town of Blackpool and having a go on some of the rides (过山车)at the Pleasure Beach theme park.Stephen: This may look like Paris, but wc'rc in Blackpool, in the north of England—about an hour's drive from Manchester. And as you can see, it's a seaside town and became famous more than a hundred years ago. People always like coming here for their holidays. They like the rides in the park, too. In fact, I often came here when I was a kid.Ashlie: Yes, thafs right. I know the place we 11. too. I liked to come to Blackpool to enjoy the beach and the sunshine・ I always had great fun.Stephen: So did I. And I love the theme park and all the rides・ Come on Ashlie, this is going to be great!(They are in front of a ride.)Stephen: Come on Ashlie, shall we have a go?Ashlie: No way!Stephen: Oh Ashlie, don't be such a chicken.Ashlie: No way. You can have a go on that if you want, but there is no way Fm going on it.Stephen: I'll wave to you when I go past. See you later!(Stephen meets Ashlie after he takes the ride・)Ashlie: Are you OK? You look a little white. Stephen.Stephen: What? I've never felt better. That was amazing, Ashlie・ You should have come on it, too. Shame you were too afraid. What a pity (遗憾)！Ashlie: You weren't afraid?Stephen: Of course not. I loved it.CApril 26 is a special day for friends. It is "Hug (拥抱)a Friend Day〞. Can you guess how people celebrate it? Thafs right. Friends hug one another, in a warm and friendly way!Why do we need this day? Giving a hug can show our love, support or even just mean 〞hello〞 or "goodbye〞・ Il can make a person feel happier and warmer, or even bring him better health by taking stress (压力)away. And a hug doesn't cost anything. So why not hug your friends?However, it can also get you in trouble・ Ryan Blackmon. a middle school student in North Carolina・ US, was fighting with another student, and a teacher pulled them apart (拉开)・When she finished. Ryan said H thank you〞 and gave her a hug. This did not make the teacher feel happy. Instead. she angrily took Ryan's arm and took him to an office・ Then school officials said Ryan must say sorry to the teache匚Why did she get so angry over a hug? First of all, Ryan is a boy and his teacher is a woman. In that situation (状况)，she mightthink Ryan's hug showed the wrong kind of love・ Also, a student hugging a teacher shows that they are friends, on an equal (平等的)level. That might have hurt her feeling of authority (权威).So be careful who you hug, and how you hug them! The best way is just to ask first, or to say, ''Give me a hug!〞 From the person's reaction, yoifll decide to hug or not to hug.Japan is no stranger to natural disasters・ To make sure people are ready for them. cities across Japan have built over 60 disaster education (教冇)centres・ The Tokyo Earthquake Museum is just one of them. The museum is on the fourth floor of a fire station inIkcbukuro, Tokyo. It is open every day except Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays・ It has a small theatre showing the history of Japanese earthquakes, a smoke room and an earthquake simulator (模拟器)・It is the earthquake simulator, however, that interests people the most. It is a platform (平台)with a dining table and some chairs on it. Six people at a time are invited to take a turn. Anyone 3 years old and above can ride the simulator. It's free to experience (体验)two minutes of terrifying shaking・Before you ride the simulator, you need to watch a slide show on what should be done when an earthquake hits・ Once it*s your turn to ride the simulator, you can use what you've learnt from the slide show. The simulator gives you the real feel of an earthquake・The simulator is not H fun*\ but it is a useful experience・ If you're in Tokyo, you should go to the centre and try it out for yourself. You'd better call ahead to make sure the simulator will be available (可以使用的),because they have a lot of scheduled (有汁划fl勺)toursEA century ago, there were about 200. 000 orangutans (红毛猩猩)living in Indonesia, but now the number has been cut in half. They are in danger. Why?People are cutting down the forests where they live, so it's getting hard for tliein to find food. Farmers kill many orangutans to stop them from taking food from farms・ Now many baby orangutans do not have moms to teach them what they need to know. That's why an animal organization (组织)called Four Paws built schools for orangutans. The schools take care of baby orangutans until they can take care of themselves in the wild.Orangutans go to different schools according to their ages and ability. Usually the youngest babies go to the Nursery (冇儿所).People feed them and take care of them all day long. They must wear masks so tliey don't make die orangutans sick. When the orangutans turn 2, they go to Baby School. They spend a little time in the forest. They learn how to climb trees, look for food and make nests・ When they turn 4 years old, they go to Forest School. They stay in the forest overnight. Now they can do more on their own. without help from people.After a few years, the orangutans have learned everything they need to know. People take the orangutans into the forest and let them go.The orangutans will live and grow in the forest. Maybe one day they will have babies・ They can teach them everything they learned atFEric and Chen first met in their Maths class at an American school. Chen was a student from China・ He wanted to learn about American culture (文(匕)and make good friends with Eire・At first, Eric seemed friendly. He always said hello to Chen warmly before class. Sometimes he studied and played with Chen. He even asked Chen to eat lunch with him・ But after the term was over and they were in different classes, Eric seemed more distant (疏远白勺)• They didn't see each otlier very much at school. One day Clieii called Eric, but Eric didn't seem very interested in talking to him. Cheii was surprised by Erics chaiige/Enc said we were friends/* Chen said. "I thought & lends were friends all the time.、、As a foreigner, he doesn't know what Americans think of friendship (友谊)・Americans don't use the word 'friend5' in the same way as we Chinese. Their &iendslup is built on common (共同的) interests・When the shared activity ends, the friendship may die (i肖亡)・Now as Eric and Chen are no longer classmates, their "frieiidslup,> has changed. Iii Chinese culture, friendship means a life-long thing between two people—friendship grows slowly, because it is built to last. American society changes quickly. Twenty percent of American families move (搬迁)every year. Their friendship grows quickly, and it may change just as quickly.Learning what Americans think of friendship can help us remove misunderstandings (，肖I徐误角*)・Il can help us make friends inGAs the world's second largest country in area, I you may meet with different weather in different cities in Canada in the same season. This shows the diversity in climates (气候多样性)in the country. To get good information of the country, let's see what four seasons in Vancouver (温哥华)are like.Vancouver is a western city in Canada .It is one of the warmest cities in the country; And it is also wetter than most other cities in Canada・ Spring in Vancouver comes early. In February, you may see tulips (郁金香and temperatures on average (平上匀)stay above 0°C・ It's wet with much rain here・ So an umbrella is necessary.Summer in Vancouver, , like the other seasons, has mild (温*IT) weather. Daytime temperatures run around to 20°C. Sometimes, it's necessary to bring a sweater for cooler nights.Autumn sees the city's rain slow down. Temperatures stay mild, staying from 4 to 10C. September to November is a great time to pay a visit as weather is comfortable and the prices of plane tickets and hotels drop・Winter is cold (not as cold as many other cities) and wet from December to February. January is the coldest month whileDecember and February are only a little warmer. Twice a year, the temperatures will be below・10°C. Snow, on average, falls about eleven days・ Snowfall is very low for Canada which is known for its long, white winters・ Rain is more likely to be seen than snow. This is also the wettest season in Vancouver.Hummingbirds (蜂are one of the smallest birds in the world・ They are found only in America・They are called hununingbirds because they make a humming noise when they fly. They make this noise because they beat their wings so fast. Hummingbirds are well known for their ability to move their wings fast. They can move their wings up to 70 times in a second.Most of them are 7.5-13 cm long. The Bee Hummingbird is the smallest at just 5 cm. The largest is the Giant Hummingbird reaching over 20 cm. Most hummingbirds weigh less than 4 grams・ They eat mostly nectar (花蜜)，and they also eat insects・ They need to eat at least half their body weight of food each day.No other bird on Earth can fly like a hummingbird. They can move their wings in a circle (I园圈)，so they can fly forwards, backwards, up, down, sideways and hover (盘旋)in mid ai匚This type of flying can be quite an exercise・ Thafs why hummingbirds eat a lot of food each day.Hummingbirds have no sense of smell but have very good eyesight. They can see and hear better than humans・ They find their food through bright colours. They like red flowers・ They are often seen flying near small flowers because they can't reach deep in largerA1 ・ repairing 5.
