If you want to watch and know something about birds, you must find a good place near the bird nest（巢）.
Birds sit on eggs and take care of their babies from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, parents often go to look for food and come back in several minutes. So it is good to watch birds. When we watch birds, we’d better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it’s better to use binoculars(双筒望远镜).

Americans are very direct people. When they want something, they say“Yes”， and when they don’t, they say “No”.If they want something different from what is given, they ask for it. Here’s an example : I arrive at someone’s house and he or she gives me wine, but I don’t want wine. Maybe I don’t like it or maybe I just don’t want it. I will say “No thanks”. If everyone around me is drinking something, I would ask for something else,“No thanks. But I’ll take a bit of tea if you have some.” It’s a polite way to ask something you really want.

A lift is wonderful. It is really only a small room. Rooms usually stay in one place. Lifts travel up and down all day long.
Sometimes a worker stands in the lift. He or she operates(操作)it up and down. In modern lifts there is no worker. The people walk in. They know which floor they want. They push a button(按纽)and the lift goes to the floor. It is very fast and easy.
Lifts are very important for us. Why? Think about a tall building. Maybe it has twenty floors. Maybe it has fifty or more. Who can walk up all the stairs? Perhaps people can climb them one time. Can someone climb thirty floors to an office everyday? Can small children walk up to their rooms on the twenty–forth floor？Can their mother and their father carry food up all those stairs? Of course not.
We can have high buildings because we have lifts. We could not have all the beautiful tall buildings in the world without lifts. They are really wonderful.
根据短文内容，判断正误。正确（T）,错误（F）.(10分)The lift is a room’s name.
In modern lift there must be a worker operating it.
If you go into a modern lift, you can’t put any buttons.
A small children can go to the thirty floor of a building easily.
It is convenient(方便)to live in a tall building without a lift.
