Six birds have just been trained to pick up rubbish at a French historical theme park. According to the park's manager, Mr. Villiers, the goal is not just to clear up the park. He says visitors are already good at keeping things clean. Instead, he wants to show that nature itself can teach us to take care of the environment. He says that rooks, the chosen birds, are considered to be particularly intelligent. In the right circumstances, they even like to communicate with humans and establish a relationship through play. The birds will be encouraged to clean the park through the use of a small box that delivers a small amount of bird food. Each time, the rook deposits a cigarette end or a small piece of rubbish. So far, visitors to the theme park have been excited to see the birds in action. However, some parents are concerned that it encourages their children to drop litter so they can watch the birds to pick it up. Villiers is not concerned about this criticism. He maintains most of the feedback he has received has been overwhelmingly positive. He hopes now to train more birds.

Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.

Q5: What have six birds been trained to do at a French historical theme park?

Q6: Why were rooks chosen by the park manager?

Q7: What is the concern of some parents?

答案：AAB

在法国的一个历史主题公园里，六只鸟已经被训练去捡垃圾。据公园经理维利尔先生所言，这样做目的不仅仅是清理公园。他说，游客们已经很擅长保持环境清洁。相反，他想证明大自然本身就能教会我们如何保护环境。他说，秃鼻乌鸦被选中了，因为这种鸟类是特别聪明的。在适当的情况下，它们甚至喜欢与人类交流，通过玩耍建立关系。鼓励它们通过使用一个提供少量鸟食的小盒子来清洁公园。秃鼻乌鸦每次都会存储一个烟头或一小片垃圾到小盒子里。到目前为止，来到主题公园的游客们在目睹鸟儿们的行为后都很兴奋。然而，一些家长担心这会鼓励他们的孩子扔垃圾，这样他们就可以看着鸟儿捡垃圾了。维利尔并不关心这种批评。他坚持认为他收到的大部分反馈都是非常积极的。现在他希望能训练更多的鸟。
