    Crows(乌鸦) are remarkably intelligent birds. Now these feathered geniuses are given a job: Six crows have been trained to pick up rubbish in the Puy du Fou historical theme park in western France. Whenever the six crows put cigarette ends or other small  (piece) of trash in a special container, it offers a treat to reward the crows  their efforts.

    The idea came from one of the park's employees, Christophe. In 2012, the theme park held a show during which the crows picked up roses and brought them to a “princess”. It was the show  inspired him. Since then, six crows (raise) and trained to do the same with rubbish. The training system is similar to the one for testing crows' intelligence,  a food dispenser(分发器) gives away a food reward when a crow  (correct) performs a task. Christophe also introduced other species of birds to go through the training.  (compare) with other birds, crows are much cleverer.

    The purpose of  (train) the crows is to educate the people to reflect on themselves. Since the birds are able to protect the environment, we need to care about it too. “It is  funny way to remind people not (throw) the rubbish everywhere,” said Christophe.

    Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's "me" time. And {#blank#}1{#/blank#} more Americans, she's not alone.

    A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half (53%) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46%) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime {#blank#}2{#/blank#} we eating together, 74%, according to statistics from the report.

    "I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?" Bechtel said, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (look) up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (work) through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on {#blank#}5{#/blank#} shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. "Today, I just wanted some time to myself," she said.

    Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he wants to have a little interaction. "I reflect on {#blank#}7{#/blank#} my day's gone and think about the rest of the week," he said. "It's a chance for self-reflection. You return to work {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (refresh) and with a plan."

    That freedom {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (choose) is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. "It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology," said Laurie Demeritt, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} company provided the statistics for the report.
