Last year, I moved from London to the African grasslands because my husband Robin took a new job there. Robin was able to work, but the language barrier(障碍) didn’t allow(允许) me to do so. With few people around our home, I felt bored. I turned to nature and learned about many kinds of local birds.
One morning in September, after a bad rainstorm, I found a baby bird on the ground outside of our home. His eyes were closed and he was shaking. The poor little thing had been left behind by his flock(鸟群). Clearly, he was too young to be able to live on his own. I placed him in a cardboard box. I stayed up all night that day to study how to care for him.
The next day, he woke with his mouth wide-open with a sharp hunger call. I fed him termites(白蚁) and chirped (叽喳叫) at him. He chirped back, jumped into my hand and then fell asleep in my hand. To him, I was mama bird. ①______
For the 84 days, the cute little thing lived on me. Wherever I went, he would fly alongside me. He would make short flights from my hand to my head and then slide down my long hair to rest again. I never named him because he didn’t belong to me-I had to tell myself again and again that he needed to return to the wild(野外). ②______
Day by day, he was stronger, braver and flying farther from me. His flock had returned to the grasslands.
③______
Before I flew back to England in November for the holiday season, Robin and I had decided that he should be allowed outside to fly daily. Robin took him out to the flock three times. On the fourth day, the bird flew away with them. ④______
When I returned, in January, I would watch out for him whenever birds flew past. Every one seemed to be him but no one was him. I would still cry when I thought of him. I wrote our story into a book, Fledgling. That, along with the lesson that any tiny animal can make a difference, will make me remember him forever.
53. The writer learned about many different local birds because ________.
A. it was her job to study birds B. she had nothing else interesting to do
C. her husband told her to do so D. she wanted to look after the baby bird
54. The writer didn’t name the bird because ________.
A. she thought it strange to name a bird
B. she could not think of a good name

D. she was sure that birds could not understand human language

DIY started in America in the 1960s. People were worried, because at school and at university (大学), they learnt a lot of academic(专业) skills like new languages, how to write articles and how to think about science, but got very few practical skills. They were worried thatthey would lose the ability to use their hands to create(创造) things. School and university taught them how to plan things on paper, but they wanted to create something real that they need. Many people also started doing DIY because they wanted to be special. They wanted to make houses, clothes or cars look different from everyone else’s. Also, they wanted to make something themselves that was completely their own.
In the 1970s, people learnt how to do DIY from books and magazines, and by joining local DIY clubs. By the 1980s, you could buy videos to show you how to do things like building walls or making furniture, and there were TV shows about DIY. In the 1960s and even today, people go to night school after work to learn how to do these things. People learn how to make clay(黏土) tools, and even how to build computers by themselves.
Nowadays we have many more tools to help us take on even bigger challenges(挑战) and flat-pack DIY furniture is common. And it is easy for you to find advice and demonstration(示范) of almost any project(项目) on the Internet. Maybe the biggest change is the type of things people call DIY now. Fifty years ago, people planned and built gardens joined clubs; now they plan and build websites, and join online communities.
