(Text 10)
W: Good evening. I’m honored to have my voice heard to make a difference in the lives of those little birds that
share our city. My name is Christina. I’m an enthusiastic bird-watcher. Because we cut down too many trees in the
nearby areas, many birds now find places within the city to live. The most common is the area behind the large
advertisement boards on the poles. It’s a natural choice for the birds because the poles are similar to trees, tall and far from
dangers on the ground. The surprising thing is that there are likely more than five or six kinds of birds living
together at each place. While trying to learn more about these birds, I find that there have not been any consistent studies
or monitoring of them. Their eating habits, adaptation to life in the city, diseases, death rate, and such other information
are not available. I’d like to suggest that a program be started to study these birds. It could be convenient to employ
bird-watchers to do the initial studies.

生活的适应……），动词形式是 “adapt”，常见搭配 “adapt to” 表示 “适应”。

佣观鸟者做初步研究可能会很方便）。
