26、   You may see some herons (鹭) in the park using bread or insects as a tool to catch fish. This is just one of the ways in which birds have changed their living habits because of humans. Now, a new study has found that birds that are able to change their behaviors in this way are less likely to die out. These changes may include adding new food to their diet, developing new hunting skills, or living in a new environment. These new behaviors have long been considered advantages in avoiding extinction（灭绝).

To test this on a world level, scientists studied reports of new behaviors among bird species. The study includes more than 3,800 new behaviors among8,600 species of birds. They concluded that the more new hunting skills the birds master, the larger population they will have. In other words, extinction risk reduces as the number of new skills increases.

However, it is stressed that innovation (革新) can only protect birds from changes in their living place, but not from over-hunting or harm from other species. It should be noticed that some animals are very dangerous to some birds: snakes can attack little birds, some hungry mice stole birds' eggs. Above all, humans often mean the greatest danger to birds. They always take up too much space, cut down millions of trees and even cause various kinds of pollution.

This shows that, unlike what is usually believed, the ability to innovate protects animals from some but not all of the rapid changes in the environment.

【1】Why do birds change their living habits?

A.Because they like their new habits. B.Because they want to use tools.

C.Because humans ask them to do that D.Because human activities affect them.

【2】According to the passage, birds that ____________ may not die out soon.

A.feed on fewer kinds of food B.have a little food every day

C.get enough food in some new ways D.dislike to live in a noisy place

【3】Which of the following shows the result of the study in Paragraph 2?

A. B.

C. D.

【4】Which paragraph shows the harm from other species to birds?

A.Paragraph 1. B.Paragraph 2. C.Paragraph 3. D.Paragraph 4.

【5】What's the main idea of the passage?

A.Humans often help birds to change themselves.

B.Innovation in hunting skills has an effect on birds' living.

C.The ability of innovation can protect birds from all danger.

D.Birds can change their hunting skills in the new environment.
