Toucans (巨嘴鸟), a colorful bird. Take a look at these facts about toucans, and you may learn something you didn’t know before.
Where do they live?
Toucans can be found in the tropical (热带的) forests of South America. Their home is still in danger. The government asks people not to buy rainforest wood. It’s important to protect the habitat (栖息地) of toucans.
What do they look like?
Toucans have a black body and a white neck. The colorful beak is about 8 inches long. It makes up 1/3 of the bird’s total length. It may look pretty big, but thankfully, for the toucan, the beak is not too heavy. It is made of keratin (角蛋白), which makes it much lighter than you would think just by looking.
What do they eat and drink?
Toucans use their beaks to eat different kinds of fruits, which happens to be the kind of food they eat most often. Sometimes toucans will choose to snack on insects, frogs, and the eggs of their birds. Toucans get most of their water from the fruit they eat, so they don’t need to drink too much water.
Believe it or not!
Toucans can be rather lazy birds and they like to stay in one place generally. They don’t fly high up in the sky or very far away from home. They enjoy staying in trees with their delicious fruit to eat.
Wild cats are the predators of toucans in the rainforest. Other predators include larger birds. Some snacks may attack smaller toucans but typically are more interested in the toucans’ eggs instead.
1. How long is a toucan?| A．About 2.5 inches long. | B．About 8 inches long. |

【推荐2】The bicycle is one of the simplest but most useful inventions（发明）in the world. It first appeared in the pictures of great artist Leonardo da Vinci. But it didn’t come into reality long after he died.
It is easy for a person to ride a bicycle, and there is no pollution at all. In Chengdu, a lot of people rode bicycles to work twenty years ago, but they take cars instead of them now. Even in many other countries, most people do not travel to work by bicycle. It is not because the bicycles are expensive, or people feel tired if they ride to work. It is because there are too many cars on the roads. It is dangerous to ride a bicycle. As a result, people prefer to go to work in their cars. And in this way, the traffic is becoming worse and worse.
How to make riding safer and more popular? The best way is to create paths only for bicycles. If it is difficult and expensive to drive a car while it is easy and cheap to ride a bicycle, people will go back to use their bicycles again. There is a special way for bicycles on the road in Chengdu now. I think more and more people will return to ride bicycles to go to work. The air of cities will be much fresher.

【推荐3】Americans like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas which are managed by the National Park Service. Experts say that by 2020, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.
The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees(费). Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, the number of car allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may limit the use of jet-skis, snow - mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.
The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.
