（A）

Their cheerful song brightens a winter’s day. But robins(

知更鸟

) are in danger of killing

themselves by singing too much. They are singing all night—as well as during the day,

British-based researchers say.

David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lights, takeaway signs

and homes is influencing the birds’ biological(

生物的

) clocks, making them keep awake when

they should be asleep.

Dr. Dominoni put cameras inside the birds’ house to record sleeping patterns. He found that

being short of sleep could put the birds’ health at risk. His study shows that when robins are

exposed to(

暴露于

) light at night in the lab, they become active at the wrong time of day. And the

more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.

He said, “A couple of studies showed robins are singing more songs at night. And during the

day, they are still singing. And singing takes energy.”

And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by man-made light. Some blackbirds and

seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr. Dominion said, “In Glasgow where I live, seabirds are

a serious problem. People often come to me saying, ‘You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill

these seabirds?’. During the breeding(

繁殖

) season, between April and June, they are very active

at night and very noisy and people can’t sleep.”

Although Dr. Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other researches show that robins

living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.

However, some birds grow actively in noisy environments. A study from California

Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industry. It is thought that

the number of them increases because their natural enemies fly to quieter areas.

4

My best friend and I were in the shop that she owns. It was the middle of the afternoon. We

were both very happy and making plans for the weekend. Suddenly a man entered the shop. We

knew that he didn’t look like one of our usual customers, but we welcomed him 1 anyway.

Without any hesitation he pulled something out of his coat. We didn’t notice that it was a 2

until he ordered us to go into the back with him.

After he warned us that he could fire at any time, he looked for the money everywhere, in the

bank, from our wallets, and then he asked for our jewellery (

珠宝

) and we gave him all he wanted.

Finally, he finished his “job” and left.

When I was a child, I felt safe with my parents in my home or wherever I was not alone.

Then I began to understand the news and I learnt that 3 things were happening “out there”,

but I still kept thinking that those events were just other people’s 4 , not mine. From the

moment the man walked out of the shop, I completely 5 I always look around to see which

kinds of people are possibly following me. Now I usually double-check everything: if I’ve locked
