Tu Youyou, the first person of Chinese Medicine (医药) Science received the 2015 Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖). The news excited every Chinese. These days she made a new step in studying another new kind of medicine. And I think we need to know something about the Nobel Prize.

Nobel Prize is the most important prize in the world. Each year on December 10, people turn to Sweden (瑞典) for the important moment. They can see the Nobel winners (获胜者) on TV or in newspapers. Alfred Nobel started the prizes in 1901 with his own money. In the beginning, the prizes had physics, medicine, chemistry, literature, and peace. Later, in 1968, the Bank of Sweden put economics (经济) on the prize list and made the prizes six. They did this to celebrate the bank’s 300th year of business.

Each winner can receive a million dollars, a medal, and a certificate (证书). The winners can have enough money for their lives, then they can go on with their work or study with no worries. The winner can be one person or a team.

Many students of English think that learning a new language is very difficult. Now think how difficult it is to learn English when your brain is only the size of a bird's brain! That is what some birds can do.

Many different kinds of birds can copy the sounds of language. African grey parrots are the best known for this.

Every December in London, the National Cage and Aviary Bird Show tries to find the best "talking" bird in the world. One bird named Prudle stood out among the "talking birds". She won this prize for 12 years from 1965 to 1976.

Prudle was taken from her nest in Uganda in 1958. She was sold to Iris Frost in Seaford, England. Prudle knew almost 800 words in English. Prudle was also the oldest bird in the world that lived in a cage.

Another clever bird,named Puck,was tested(测试)in 1993.People found that Puck knew even more words than Prudle. Puck knew more than 1,700 English words.In the 2003 Guinness(吉尼斯)Book of World Records,Puck was on the list because he knew more words than any other bird in the world.

Many kinds of birds live in the united states, but the number of the birds is becoming smaller every year. One of the main reason is the growing number of pet cats.By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance to live.

Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, about two thirds(三分之二) can go outside freely. It is said that these cats kill millions of birds each year,as well as billions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice.

They can also bring illness to the animals that live in people's yard(院子)，further weakening the health of the natural populations.

Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife, it's also bad for the cats themselves. Outdoor cats can get ill very easily. They are in danger from traffic and attacks from other animals. In fact, outdoor cats usually don't live past the age of five.While indoor cats often live to be 17 or older.

Keep your pet cat inside. If you raise a young cat, it’s your duty to let it play inside.
