Urban Wildlife
Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the wild, a large number of species share our urban areas. As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.
Cities are built for humans. __1__ For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plant flowers, we destroy natural habitats.
__2__ When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. __3__ Now, they have come to value their winged (有翼的) neighbors. The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.
There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created open, natural space for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. __4__
If we learn to share our space, we can become better neighbors to the wildlife around us. __5__ Our own future will be endangered too.
A．They are built to protect birds.
B．Our actions sometimes help other species.
C．If we do not, more species will become extinct.
D．They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.
E．Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move freely.
F．At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
G．They would sit on it and their droppings would fall into the water.
