With an average size of 19 centimeters and an average weight of only 40 grams, the light-vented bulbul (白头鸭) can be found in many Asian countries including South Korea and Vietnam. Recently, it has made China its preferred living place.
The bulbul has a black crown with white patches (白斑) on top and on both cheeks (脸颊). Near its back, the black crown turns into light grey. The grey color mixes with deep smart green feathers that make its wings beautiful. The throat is white which turns grey over the stomach. The tail is long compared with its whole body, covered in deep green feathers.
This lovely bird has got used to living in the human environments. It can be found throughout Shenzhen and even in the most crowded areas of the city. Its special call can be heard all year round. It feeds mainly on fruits, new leaves, and flying insects.
The bulbul is one of the most easily noticed birds in our city. Let's plant more trees and protect the environment to build pleasant habitats for them, so that we, and our children too, can live happily with them in the years to come.
You can hardly pay no attention to hunger. Hunger has many different causes, according to Dr. Monique Tello, from Harvard Medical School.
The first cause may be medical problems. "If a person always feels hungry and can't put on weight or even loses weight, he should go to the hospital. For people with Type 1 diabetes (糖尿病), their body isn't able to process sugar (分解糖).They eat a lot, but still lose weight and they feel terrible." Tello said.
If it isn't a medical cause, the problem could be in the head. It's reasonable to be hungry every three to five hours. However, you are likely to eat often and a lot after watching food advertisements on TV or social media. Also, the more you eat, the larger your stomach gets, and the more you want to eat. A person's state of mind can play a role, too. Research has shown that stress can increase levels of ghrelin (饥饿激素).Pressure and worry can send people looking into the fridge when they're not truly hungry.
Another reason may be the lifestyle. Sometimes the reason why a person is always hungry is that he eats too little, exercises too much, or both.
So, what are the solutions? First, reduce your time on watching food advertisements on TV and social media. In addition, say no to food if you're not really hungry. Finally, change your diet by eating more food high in fiber (纤维), protein (蛋白质) and healthy fats.

Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story is about something that happened to them when they left London during the war.
The four children were sent to an old man's house in the countryside, ten miles from the nearest railway station and two miles from the nearest post office. The old man had untidy white hair which grew over most of his face. On the first evening, he went out to meet the children. He looked so strange that little Lucy was a bit afraid, but Edmund wanted to laugh and tried to hide it by blowing his nose.
After saying goodnight to the old man, they went upstairs. The house was so large with all those steps and rows of doors leading into empty rooms. The boys went into the girls' room and they argued about the house and the old man. While they were talking, there came a strange noise. The noise and the thought of the large house made Lucy feel even more frightened.
"It's an owl (猫头鹰)," said Peter. "This is a wonderful place for birds. Let's go and explore tomorrow. You might find anything in a place like this. Did you see those mountains and woods as we came along?"
But the next morning, there was a rain falling, so thick that you could see neither the mountains nor the woods. After breakfast, they were upstairs in the room. Edmund started complaining about the weather. Susan suggested reading books in the room. "Not for me," said Peter, "I'm going to explore in the house." Everyone agreed to this and that was how the adventures began.

I invite you (drink) a cup of wine again, West of the Sunny Pass no more (friend) will be seen.
