Brazil
Brazil's domestic bird population was about 19 million in 2013，while dogs held top rank at just over 37 million.Brazil has the highest number of small dogs per capital city in the world.The nearly 20 million small dogs are attributed to a rapidly-growing middle class living in small urban apartments.

2．Are you more of a Botticelli or a Van Gogh？ A new feature in the Google Arts & Culture app reveals how a picture of your face may resemble a historical painting.
The app went viral this weekend after users discovered the entertaining feature that analyzes selfies and matches them to historical artwork.It pulls from Google's digital collection of artworks from museums around the world.
The feature rolled out to the app on iOS and Android last month.But users --- even some big names such as Twitter founder Jack Dorsey，musician Pete Wentz，and actors Felicia Day and Kumail Nanjiani—shared their results on news feeds.
The app became the top downloaded iPhone app over the weekend，and landed in the top 10 on Android，according to analytics firm App Annic.
To find your fine art doppelganger（與某人外貌相同的人），open the Google Arts & Culture app and scroll until you see the "Is your portrait in a museum？" feature.Tap "get started"，and you'll be guided through the process.
It's currently only available in the U.S.
Google said the experimental feature uses computer vision technology to scan facial features and extract data to match with paintings.The company said it won't use data from photos for any other purpose but to match it with images in its catalog.It only stores selfies for the time it takes to find matches，Google said.
The selfie feature is similar to other apps that use matching technology to find lookalikes.Microsoft's What Dog app can identify and classify dogs based on photos uploaded to the apps.
The Google Arts & Culture app is part of the Google Cultural Institute，which provides information about artists，scientists and historical figures from 1，000 institutions worldwide.

3．Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats，or homelands，are disappearing.
Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting locations to stop，rest and feed.The scientists studied the migration，or flight，paths，of almost 1，500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas.The major danger for migratory birds is development in human society.Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another.For example，a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic flying all the way to the southern earth in Australia and New Zealand stopping at Yellow Sea mudflats in China along the way.
One of the scientists who worked on the study says "many of these critical sites have been taken up owing to urban，industrial and agricultural expansion." The problem，according to researchers，is that many of these small birds die along their migration because they don't have a safe place to eat and rest to restore their energy for the next part of their journey.Countries in North Africa，Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time conserving land.The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds.In addition，many of the sanctuaries（避難所）are not wide enough to cover the paths of migratory birds.
One species that doesn't exist any longer is the Eskimo curlew，"Our world gets poorer every we lose a species，" one of the scientists says.The researchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighborhood country might not，a bird might die.
One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing，more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.He says small changes --- like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of areas birds would be likely to use --- could make a big difference.
（1）Why is development in human society considered as the major danger for migratory birds？
A．Construction activities occupy birds' paths.
B．Serious industrial pollution damages birds' habitats.
C．Hunting activities happen more frequently.
D．Airplane flights directly harm birds' safety.
（2）What's the current situation of protecting migratory birds？
A．Countries in East Asia don't want to make any changes.
B．The progress still remains at the primary stage.
C．Some of the efforts of humans aren't working well.
D．Safe zones in neighboring countries have been combined together
（3）What can we know about the migratory birds according to the passage？
A．They always travel from the north to the south.
B．They need to stop during the migration to correct directions.
C．All of them are endangered because of lacking protection.
D．Some of them take rests or feed in cities.
（4）What's the main idea of the passage？
A．The migration of birds influences society development.
B．Migratory birds are dying from losing their homes.
C．Countries need to work together to protect migratory birds.
D．Protecting migratory birds is very necessary.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.Suddenly a crow （烏鴉） landed on their window.
The father asked his son， "What is that？"
The son replied， "That is a crow."
After a few minutes，the father asked his son for the second time， "What is this？"
The son said， "Father，I told you just now.It's a crow."
After a little while，the father asked his son the same question for the third time， "What is this？"
This time，the son answered his father in a low and cold tone， "It's a crow，a crow."
After a moment，the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time， "What is this？"
The son shouted at his father， "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again？I have told you already， "IT IS A CROW".Are you not able to understand this？"
A few minutes later，the father went to his room and came back with a diary，which he had kept since his son was born.On opening a page，he asked his son to read that page.
"Today，my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge.My son asked me 23 times what it was，and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow.I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question.I didn't at all feel annoyed，but instead felt affection for my innocent boy."
