(2021·É½¶«ÈÕÕÕµÚÒ»´ÎУ¼ÊÁª¿¼)We have lived in this house in Arizona for a few years now. In our __1__ there is a swimming pool and two trees that are taller than the house.

The first spring we were here we __2__ what was to become a common phenomenon. There is a period of several weeks when baby birds fall from the trees and __3__ in our backyard every year. Most of the time they are strong and __4__ and just need a few days to learn to fly.

At first we had to frighten our cats and dog away as they __5__ the birds. Perhaps, our pets thought these little __6__ were toys for them to play with. We quickly __7__ that our backyard was no place for bigger animals during this __8__ time for the little birds to learn to fly.

Every spring, when our dog and cats want to take a __9__ in the backyard, we let the dog out only in the front yard and the cats __10__ indoors. During this time my husband and I __11__ the birds in the backyard.

Sometimes the birds have to be saved from the swimming pool because the water might __12__ them. Sometimes they have to be __13__ on the branches of the trees as they can’t fly up. Every baby bird needs a safe place to __14__ and grow up, just like us when we are not strong. Thus, it would make a great __15__ if we could be kind enough to whoever might be in need of help or in an unfortunate situation.
