It was a great pleasure for the family to move to a house with a very big garden. Betty and Tony could climb up trees, grow flowers and even play badminton. They liked to watch the birds flying among the trees in the garden. They even started to put food out to attract(吸引)more birds.
Everything was fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise on a window. Betty went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass. Its neck seemed to be broken.
\"It must have flown into the window,\" Tony said when his sister Betty called him to have a look. \"Ah, yes, look here. You can see the mark(痕迹)where it hit the window. There are a few tiny feathers stuck on the window.\" \"Poor thing!\" Betty said.
During the next month, five more birds died in the same way. \"Why would they fly to the windows?\" they wondered. Finally they knew what it was. When the birds were flying, they couldn't see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection(倒影)of the garden. They thought that they were flying into trees because they saw trees reflected by the window.

At first, the family tried keeping curtains(窗帘)across the windows, but this made the room dark. Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shape of a hawk(鹰).They made six hawks-one for each window. They stuck the hawks to the windows. They looked pretty and did not keep out much light. When the birds saw the hawks, they would fly away. After that, there were no more dead birds. The family were much happier. 44.

We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small Italian town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.
\"Look down, Elsa,\" Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the centre of the village. And I saw many turning streets leading to the square. \"See, my dear,\" Father said gently. \"There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another. Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged(乞求)my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were provided at school. But she refused(拒绝)because
9
she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to my father for help, he would not help. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson-the value of an open, searching mind. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.
At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked well. She tried a spoonful and said, \"The cook must have gone mad!\" Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother said firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day. In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn't stop working until I tried every possible way. I always remember Father's wise words that there is more than one way to the square. 66. Where did Elsa live?
