24、If you are able to hear many types of birds, you might also have a greater feeling of well-being.Two studies show that hearing birdsong (鸟鸣声) may help increase our happiness.
California study
One study was done by researchers at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly, for short). A research team studied the effects of birdsong on people walking through a park in the U.S. state of Colorado. Danielle Ferraro, led the Cal Poly study.
Ferraro said in some areas birdsong can also tell the arrival of spring and nice weather. Bird diversity (多样化), she adds, can also mean a healthy environment.
Over several weeks, the researchers played recorded birdsong at certain times of the day and other times they did not. Then they talked with hikers (徒步旅行者) after they passed by.
Hikers who heard the recorded diverse birdsongs reported a greater sense of happiness than those who heard simply the natural birds. The researchers suggest that both the bird sounds and bird diversity can increase feelings of happiness.
Ferraro explained that they did the study during the summer. She explains why this is important. “The study took place in summer because the spring is most birds’ breeding (繁殖) season. We didn’t want to disturb (打扰) the birds too much.”
German study
The Science Daily recently reported that scientists in Germany examined for the first time whether a diverse nature also increases human well-being across Europe.
The researchers looked at the “2012 European quality of Life Survey” to study the connection between the different kinds of birds in their surroundings and life satisfaction. They looked at more than 26,000 adults from 26 European countries.
“Europeans are particularly satisfied with their lives if their surroundings have a high species (物种) diversity,” explains the study’s lead author and researcher, Joel Methorst. He and his team found that the happiest Europeans are those who can experience many different kinds of birds in their daily life.
In all, enjoying the birdsong is a good thing for people, so let’s protect birds from now on.
【1】What does the word “well-being” mean?
A.Warmth.
B.Happiness.
C.Kindness.
D.Satisfaction.
【2】Who did Danielle Ferraro’s team study on?
A.The old people who are happy.
B.The people who live near a park.
C.The people who are walking through a park.
D.26,000 adults from different countries.
【3】Why didn’t Danielle Ferraro’s team do their research in spring?
A.Because they prefer summer.
B.Because they don’t want to disturb the bird breading.
C.Because there are more birds in summer.
D.Because the birds don’t like singing in spring.
【4】What did Joel Methorst’s team find?
A.The more birdsongs people hear, the better the environment will be.
B.The Europeans like to have birds in their homes to make themselves feel happy.
C.The Europeans are the happiest ones in the world according to Joel Methorst’s team’s finding.
D.The happiest Europeans are usually the ones who can experience many different kinds of birds.

26、My father loved me when he was alive and I love him a lot as well. Several years after my father’s death, my daughter was born. I called her Myles, the name from my father. However, my family warned me a lot because the name was too masculine(男性化的). They were worried that my daughter might dislike this name when she grew up.
Years later, when I felt my daughter was old enough to understand, I explained to her one day “Your name is very special. I named you after my own father because I love him so much. I think he would be proud of you.”
Myles thought carefully about this and then she said, “I know all about that, mum. I love him too. But I don’t understand why my grandfather had a girl’s name.”

29、The Sweetest Sight
