1. (2023高二下·天津市月考)  听录音，回答问题。

Last year, I took up the hobby of birding or bird watching after my friend took me out<br />to observe some birds out near the lake.<br />Basically, birding involves observing birds in their natural habitat.<br />Actually, you don't need to leave your backyard to observe many birds.<br />The best seasons to watch birds are in the spring and fall, as they migrate from north<br />to south in many areas.<br />I usually go out with my telescope and a guidebook in the mornings because most birds are very<br />active in finding food at that time.<br />You also have to know where to look to see them and how to recognise their bird calls.<br />Because I knew to birding, I use my bird guidebook to look up certain kinds of birds.<br />You have to look carefully at their feathers, the way they behave and move, and their size<br />to recognise many birds, because some look very similar.<br />Also, take note of the time of year you see birds, because this information might tell<br />you more about their breeding area and migration routes, besides looking at birds.<br />I like the activity because it gives me a chance to exercise as I travel to different<br />places, and it allows me to relax my mind in the great outdoors.<br />Last year, I took up the hobby of birding or bird watching after my friend took me out<br />to observe some birds out near the lake.<br />Basically, birding involves observing birds in their natural habitat.<br />Actually, you don't need to leave your backyard to observe many birds.<br />The best seasons to watch birds are in the spring and fall, as they migrate from north<br />to south in many areas.<br />I usually go out with my telescope and a guidebook in the mornings, because most birds<br />are very active in finding food at that time.<br />You also have to know where to look to see them and how to recognise their bird calls.<br />Because I'm new to birding, I use my bird guidebook to look up certain kinds of birds.<br />You have to look carefully at their feathers, the way they behave and move, and their size<br />to recognise many birds, because some look very similar.<br />Also, take note of the time of year you see birds, because this information might tell<br />you more about their breeding area and migration routes, besides looking at birds.<br />I like the activity because it gives me a chance to exercise as I travel to different<br />places, and it allows me to relax my mind in the great outdoors.
