　　The children were talking about Christmas holidays in the classroom.

　　Jack, one of the boys, said that he went to Kansas with his friends. He told his classmates he saw something strange there.“When we were skating on a lake one day, one of us cut a hole in the ice, struck a match(擦火柴)and suddenly there was a fire right out of the hole for two or three minutes.”

　　“oh, no,”said all the others.“That couldn't be true. Water doesn't burn.”So they went to the teacher's office to see what she would say about this strange happening.

　　The teacher listened and said with a smile.“It seems that there is natural gas(天然气) under the lake. The gas always goes up through the water. When the lake is frozen(结冰),the gas is caught under the ice. So when you cut a hole in the ice, the gas will come out and burn if you light it.”

　　If we find a bird nest, we will have a good place of observing(观察) and knowing about birds.

　　Birds sit on eggs and take care of their baby birds from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, mothers often leave and come back to the nest during the time to look for food. So it is good to observe birds. When we observe birds, we'd better hide(躲藏) ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it's better to use binoculars(双筒望远镜).

　　But how to make a bird nest? Picture ① and Picture ② are two kinds of bird nests. Picture ③ gives you some other kinds of bird nests. They are very easy to make. If you want to make one, please follow these:

　　Making a nest: A good nest must be very fine, strong, thick and easy.

　　a) Each nest must have six boards. Don't make the boards too slippery(光滑).

　　b) Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a door. The “door” is from 3cm to 5cm. So the bird can fly in or out easily.

　　c) Make sure the rainwater doesn't go into the nest.

　　d) One piece of the boards should be easy to open.
