Pennsylvania Plst?reported. So far, many of the citys bestknownand tallest buildings will be taking part in.
The main goal of the effort is to help protect migrating(遷徙) birds. Many birds?die along the way. Except the human actions, one of the biggest dangers comes fromthings humans have built. Experts say that one billion birds may die every year inthe US alone as a result of flying into tall buildings.

Bright city lightsadd another difficulty, because they think the lights are stars that guide them.

D)信息摘錄 閱讀短文,然后完成內(nèi)容摘要。每空不超過(guò)三個(gè)單詞遙(共5 小題,每小題2 分)Advertisements are everywhere! Theyre on the radio and TV, in the newspapersand magazines, and on buses and buildings. Companies have advertised their productsby giving their products to film stars, pop stars and sports stars to wear or use since afew years ago so that fans will buy them in order to copy the stars.
But this kind of advertisements are no longer special, as a result they arentworking anymore. We dont like advertisements, so we try not to see them. We turnoff the advertisements on our computers, we refuse to watch them on TV, or readthem in magazines. We dont copy the stars because we know maybe they dontreally like the things they advertise.
This means advertisement companies need a new way to sell their products.They cant make their products “cool”by advertising. Teenagers wont buy thingsin advertisements just because the advertisements say they are fashionable. Thenewest way to advertise is not to advertise.
Instead of using stars, more and more companies are using teenagers. They paythem to tell their friends about new products. Teenagers dont want to dress likeeveryone else or buy the things that everyone else has. They want to look differentand create their own styles. Teenagers dont think it is cool to copy the stars or buythings theyve seen in advertisements.
Getting people to talk about the products is the best way to advertise. When theteenagers talk about products, the interest of their friends in the products will beraised, and they are more likely to buy them.
