三、阅读理解
Did your family move before? How did you adjust (适应) to life in a new place? Moving can be challenging, both for humans and animals. Nowadays, scientists are helping some Burrowing Owls settle (安置) into their new homes.
Burrowing Owls are small brown long-legged birds. They make homes in underground burrows (洞穴) and like to live in groups. In California, the USA, there is another kind of Burrowing Owls called the Western Burrowing Owl.
In the past, these owls lived in the grasslands. Later, people began building cities on many of the grasslands. The development happened quickly, sometimes in just a few months. This drove the owls off their burrows. Some of these birds were unable to find new homes. As a result, the number of Western Burrowing Owls in California was smaller than that in 1965. If the number keeps falling, they will be at risk of dying out.
Luckily, scientists found out the problem some years ago. They soon began trying to move these owls to some protected grasslands. In order to make the birds feel more "at home", scientists played the recordings of owl calls in these areas. They also used white paint to make fake droppings (假粪便) of the owls. These made the birds believe that other owls were living there. As a result, they accepted their new home and stayed there.
Scientists returned to check on the owls. Most of them seemed to like their new homes. Good luck to them enjoying their new lives there!
