Catia, a 73-year-old woman, is a hummingbird（蜂鸟）nurse. Her story with hummingbirds began in 2011, at a very difficult time in her life.

She lost her husband in 2009. Two years later, she herself got cancer（癌症）. To fight against her illness, she sold her five shops but it didn’t help much. So she felt depressed.

One day, she was walking on the street when she noticed a tiny hummingbird with a serious eye problem. The kind woman took it home and named it Gucci. At first, she knew nothing about taking care of a bird. To look after Gucci, she studied the birds and their habits. Finally, Gucci got well.

Later, Catia’s friends began to bring her sick and homeless hummingbirds. She never turned them away. Then, more and more hummingbirds were sent to her. So she used her apartment as a hospital and Safe House for them. Since then, her home has been a hummingbirds’ home.

Now Catia is considered as an expert on hummingbirds and lives happily with hummingbirds. People think she is a protector of hummingbirds, but she thinks it is the tiny birds that save her. She told others the hummingbirds managed to pull her out of sadness and hopelessness. She always says, “The hummingbirds wrote me a new life.”

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

①Plants have roots, leaves, and flowers. They have seeds（种子）, too. New plants grow from seeds. Some seeds fall on the ground. New plants grow next to the old plants. When plants grow this way, they are too crowded to get enough sunshine and water. So some of them die. But some plants spread their seeds even far from where they live. These seeds grow in new places. There are many ways of the seeds’ travel.

②The wind helps seeds to travel. Some plant seeds have little wings. When the wind blows, the seeds fly away. Soon they fall to the ground and new plants may grow there. Some plants dry up. The wind pulls them from the ground, but they are so big that they can’t fly. They roll along the ground, dropping off their seeds.

③Other plants grow near the water. Their seeds drop into the water and go away with it. They may travel many miles before they stop.

④Some seeds have special parts called “stickers”. The stickers help the seeds travel far. How? These seeds wait for an animal to walk by. Then they stick into its fur to get a free ride. Sometimes it’s a long trip. Birds carry some plant seeds to new places, too.

⑤Seeds can’t walk. They can’t run. But they can travel with the help of wind, water and animals.

Li Jin was born in Guangxi but raised in Sanya, Hainan. In the past 9 years, Li has made great efforts to protect the waters of Sanya. He is now spreading the knowledge of environmental protection. He does this through the Internet.

Around 2014, he began doing volunteer work to clear rubbish from the beaches and officially registered as a volunteer in May, 2017. Li took the lead in a clean-up activity on the Sanya River. In April, 2021, he used his own money to set up a volunteer service center. The center has 1,170 registered members who take part in all kinds of activities.

So far, he has spent about 3, 800 hours on volunteer activities in over 550 events. More than 2,300 people have joined in the activities with his encouragement. They have drawn the attention of both adults and children to the importance of protecting oceans and beaches. His center has organized 51 beach-cleaning activities which have seen about 1,800 people join in since it was set up.

In 2021, because of Li’s growing influence in environmental protection circles, the city government invited him to make a number of short videos. In the videos, he used simple words to explain how to protect the environment. Several of the videos have been watched millions of times.

“Although many people speak highly of my work, what I have done is not for the compliment. I just want to make a difference to environmental protection.
