Today we explain some expressions about birds. For example, if something is “for the birds”, it is worthless or not very interesting. Someone who "eats like a bird" eats very little. And "a birds-eye view" is a general look at an area from above.

Have you ever observed that "birds of a feather flock together"? In other words, people who are similar become friends or do things together. Sometimes I can do two things by performing only one action. This is called "killing two birds with one stone." But I would never really kill any birds.

I love all kinds of animals. This is "a real feather in my cap" ─ it is something to be proud of.

Most of the people I work with are "early birds." They believe that "the early bird catches the worm" -- they think that a person who gets up early in the morning for work has the best chance of success.

Some bird expressions are about crows, chickens and ducks. For example, when I am driving, I always “travel as the crow flies”─ I go the most direct way.

Now let’s talk about my sister. She will work any job for “chickenfeed”─ a small amount ofmoney. My sister was an “ugly ducking”. She looked strange when she was a child，but she grew up to be a beautiful woman.

Maya Xia, 19, was a baby when her birth parents left her in a small town outside Changzhou in the provice of Jiangsu. Melissa Ludtke, an American award-winning journalist(新闻工作者), brought the past to her Massachusetts home in 1997.

Over the past two years, Ms. Ludtke has helped her daughter and another Chinese-born girl document their return to their rural home. ”This is a very different exploration,” Ms. Ludtke said.

William Shakespeare was right when he said, “What’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet ...” But when it comes to naming a baby, choosing the right name can be a really big issue.

Pop culture plays a big part in some parents’ choice of names. The film “The Fault “The Fault in Our Stars” gave us names like Gus and Hazel. Disney’s hit movie “Frozen” may give us more girls named Elsa. And the birth of Princess Charlotte up to Top One in 2015.

Madison is the ninth most popular name for baby girls in the U.S. But it was rarely used for girls until after the movie “Splash” came out in 1984. Madison is unisex, meaning it can be used for girls or boys. Madison is a place name, after Madison, Wisconsin.

A few countries ban a number of names for different reasons. Some bans are designed to protect children. In Malaysia, parents are not permitted to name children after animals, fruits or vegetables.

When economic conditions are good, some new parents name babies after brand name products, like Mercedes, Lexus and Rolex. But when the economy is bad, new parents may want a more grounded name with a nature-theme like Lily, Summer, Jasmine or River.

Whatever name parents decide, it is most important that they like the sound of it. They will be saying the name a lot.

It’s four o’clock on a Wednesday at a private swimming pool in the Washington, D.C. Area. Two fathers talk about getting their kids ready for a baseball-themed birthday party that evening.

One of the fathers, RJ Respress, has been a stay-at-home dad for the past 10 years. He has a

10-year-old son named Ben and a 7-year-old daughter named Sophie. “Being a stay-at-home dad now.” he say, “is much more different than it was 10 years ago ...”

He is right.

A new study finds that in the U.S. more than two million fathers are staying home to take care of the house and family. This number is twice that of 25 years ago. In 2012, 16 percent of all parents stay home. But, some fathers do so simply to spend more time with their children.

Even though the number of stay-at-home fathers is growing in the U.S., such men can still face worries about their self-worth. They are not bringing money into the family directly, a role traditionally connected to fathers. Going back to work is also a question of economics for RJ and his family. If he goes back to work, they will have to pay someone to pick up their kids from school, to drive them to sports and other activities, and to babysit when both parents are at work. （）41.How old is Sophie in the passage?

A.Sickness

B.Unemployment

C.Poorness

D.Disability （）44.If RJ goes back to work, what will happen to RJ and his family?

A.They will have to pick up their kids after work.

B.They will have to stop their kids from sports and other activities.

C.They will have to babysit when both parents are at work.
