Now he wants to use these boxes to 7 the dead trees. He hangs these boxes up in trees and takes 8 down every week to see if the birds are nesting in them. He also writes articles, hoping that more people will 9 protecting natural ecosystems(生态系统). “Researching birds is10 to protecting birds,”jack says, “In order to protect birds, we have to learn and really know about the birds. ”

    Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One early morning, I1a call for a taxi. When I arrived at the building, it was 2:30 a.m. and I found the building was dark except for the only light in a first floor window.

    Many drivers would just shout once or twice and then drove away, but I thought this2 might need my help. So I walked to the door and knocked, "Just a minute," answered a3, elderly voice.

When we arrived, 12without thinking, I gave him a big hug. "You gave an old man a little moment of13. Thank you!" He said with tears in his eyes.

    I was completely lost in thought for the rest of the day. What would happen if I had refused to do14I did? We always think that there are no15moments in our lives, but great moments are just in what others may think small and unimportant ones!
