Unlike humans who enter a state of relatively complete unconsciousness（無意識(shí)） while sleeping，birds can more carefully control their sleep.Birds often sleep with one eye open，only half their brain resting at the same time.The other half of the brain is awake，able to note danger ifneeded.
   While the exact way in which birds control their sleep patterns（模式） has not been well studied，it has been shown that the safer a bird feels when sleeping，the more likely it is to sleep deeper.If the situation is more uncertain，however，the bird will sleep more lightly.
   Sleeping together is another defensive method that many birds use.By living together，some species can create a nighttime place where thousands of individuals sleep.As a result，there are more birds to notice their enemies' attack，giving each individual bird a greater chance of survival.In winter，many birds，particularly s mall birds，live together to share body heat and survive lower nighttime temperatures.
   When birds sleep，they bury weak body parts in their feathers（羽毛）.A bird's feathers create air pockets that help it keep warm，and by placing feet or the bill（喙） into the feathers，less body heat is lost.When a bird's bill is buried deeply in its feathers，it is also able to breathe air warmed by its own body heat.
   There is little data about how long birds sleep at a time，but studiés show that birds may sleep longer during longer nights.This may be because birds are not able to search for food or take part in other activities without enough light and so sleeping is the next natural item on their to-do lists.Birds are able to sleep for a short time during the day，however，and can also sleep longer whenever they are in a safe place.

（1）How can birds control their sleep？
D
D

A．By opening both of the eyes.

（4）Where do birds put their weak body parts while sleeping？

1．A hybrid electric vehicle （混合動(dòng)力車） or HEV is a vehicle driven by the combination of petrol engine and electric motor．Terrence has been driving a HEV for five years．He really doesn't understand why more people aren't accepting them． "I probably spend about ＄7 a day on petrol，" the taxi driver told news．com．a(chǎn)u．In his previous conventional vehicle Terrence said he was spending up to ＄30 a day on petrol，meaning he saves almost ＄6000 every year．
   The Toyota spokesman said this was quite a high saving and official tests estimate （估計(jì)） an average driver would only save about 33 percent off their current bill．This means a driver paying ＄30 a day on petrol would see their bill drop to about ＄20 using the hybrid． "A taxi driver that drives in built-up areas and spends little time on highways will notice a higher fuel saving，" he said． "Low speeds allow the electric motors to be used more and the petrol engine used less．"
   While some people are skeptical about how reliable hybrids are，Terrence said he had never run out of power．His Camry cost about ＄34，000 and so after five years，it's nearly paid for itself． "For cab drivers，it's a real advantage because of the cost-effectiveness，" he said．Terrence has no complaints about the car． "I love it，the calm and quietness of it，the simplicity of it-you just jump in and go．The maintenance（保養(yǎng)）is really low．But the only difficulty is finding someone to service the car as there are not many experienced mechanics（機(jī)修工）．"
   Terrence said it's "extraordinary" that more drivers aren't buying more hybrid electric vehicles and that governments are not encouraging this more． "I think people have a view that you have to plug it in，which is not true．A lack of information about the cars may be stopping people from taking the plunge．It's not promoted at all for the public to understand-it's simplifying the actual owning of a car-you don't have to do so many things to own it and run it，it's just so much simpler．Why wouldn't the government promote such a thing？"

（1）How much does an average driver save each day by driving a hybrid，according to the Toyota spokesman？

（4）What does Terrence think prevent the popularity of hybrid cars？

A．The difficulty in servicing the car．

2．The coronavirus（冠狀病毒）outbreak has sparked panic buying of toilet paper and cleaning products in countries across the world，but one UK businessman is determined to spread some happiness among the anxiety and confusion．
   Rob Braddick，48，who owns Braddick's Holiday Park in Westward Ho，Devon，in the southwest of England，has filled the toy grabber machines in his amusement park with two of the country's most sought-after cleaning products．
   Customers could previously try their hand at grabbing "Frozen 2" or "Peter Rabbit" toys from the machines，but no more． "They got removed this morning，" Braddick said of the toys，replacing them with toilet roll and hand sanitizer （洗手液）．Visitors can now pay 50 p for three goes on the toilet roll grabber，or ￡1 a go for Carex，which Braddick described as the "Rolls- Royce of hand sanitizers．"
   Braddick said that his decision was born of a desire to make people feel less stressed in uncertain times． "It's a bit of light relief with everything that's going on，" he said． "Hopefully it will raise a smile，which I think everybody needs．"
   Around the world，travel plans have been severely affected，and tens of millions of people remain at home as part of global efforts to fight against coronavirus．Supermarkets have seen shortages of toilet paper and hand sanitizer as anxious consumers stockpile the products．
   Braddick said the family business，which has been running since 1932，has received more than a dozen calls from potential customers who say they don't want to travel abroad for their holidays and would rather stay in the UK．As for his own measures against coronavirus，Braddick said staff have been told to wash their hands every half hour，which is particularly important for those handling money．

3．For many kids，the Internet is at their fingertips．From computers to smartphones，a web of information is open to them．According to a new report，about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time．Many younger kids are online too．
   Julian Zeitlinger，9，from New Jersey，uses his computer to watch videos and play games．To keep him safe online，his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him． "I ask my parents whether something is nice or bad，" Julian says．
   Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information．The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands．A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience．
   Have you ever had to enter a parent's e-mail address when signing up for a website？That safety measure is there because of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act （COPPA）．The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information，such as a phone number or full name，without a parent's permission．
   This July，the Federal Trade Commission（FTC） will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smart phones．The nature of the way kids get online has changed，F(xiàn)TC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said．
   When the changes take effect，COPPA will apply to mobile devices and newer forms of advertising．It will expand what falls under "personal information" to include videos，photographs，and services that give users location．
   COPPA doesn't cover everything that can go wrong online．That is why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online．
   "There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA，it is totally safe，" says privacy expert Shai Samet．He runs kidSAFE，which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe． "It's important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it also can be dangerous if you are not careful．" he adds．

（1）Julian's parents check his web use to make sure

．
A．he doesn't watch too many videos
B．he doesn't play computer games
C．he controls his online time
D．he stays safe on the Internet
（2）What's one of the changes with COPPA？

A．It broadens the concept of personal information．
B．It prevents users from making their location public．
C．It covers everything that goes wrong online．
D．It says no to any kind of advertising．
（3）People often hold the wrong idea that

．
A．formal websites are always safe
B．the Internet is becoming safer and safer
C．COPPA can ensure their complete safety
D．daily checks prevent future online problems
（4）Why does the author write the passage？

A．To ask parents to look out for their kids．
B．To talk about online safety for children．
C．To introduce a new law．
D．To sell an online product．
