1.     English learners should not think that mistakes are bad. Alex Poole,  a professor of English at Western Kentucky University,  advises that language learners should instead see errors as signs of progress. One common problem is that English learners think too much about errors instead of communication. "The goal is to be able to communicate in practical terms. If you have an error,  the only time you should worry about it is when it leads to misunderstanding, " Poole said.
    Poole said when speaking with a native English speaker, you can look for signs of confusion to detect errors. For example,  when a person gives an unusual response to something you said, you can then ask them directly what the problem is. It also works if you a
sk a native speaker about the kinds of things that you say that could cause communication problems if you know him well.
    When it comes to writing,  Poole recommends thinking about errors in a different way. He suggests keeping a list of common errors. When English learners write something,  instead of grammars,  they should think about the big picture of what they are writing about. Then he advises thinking about how to put those ideas in order. After finishing it,  you can go back and use your list to look for errors.
    "My philosophy as a language learner has always been…I'm going to monitor my errors, but I'm never going to be perfect,  so that shouldn't bother me. But I should look for things which cause communication problems,  and I just have to live with that."
    You can read more about errors in Poole's new book Learning a Foreign Language﹣Understanding the Fundamentals of Linguistics. In the book,  he also writes about study plans,  progress and other issues in language learning.

2.     Every summer,  three billion birds migrate （迁徙）from southern Africa to Europe. In winter, they return to Africa's warmer shores. Both large and small birds travel thousands of kilometers,  often stopping at locations along the way to rest. The migration is long and difficult, and some of the animals die during each trip. However, it is not this twice﹣a﹣year journey that poses the greatest risk to these animals. The main threat to the birds' survival comes from people. All over Mediterranean,  millions of birds are killed for food,  profit,  and sport every year. Consequently,  bird populations are dropping all over the region.
    Countries over the Mediterranean are aware of this, and are taking action. In many European countries, hunting migratory birds is strictly banned. Across the Mediterranean, Nature Conservation Egypt is working to increase protection of its country's wildlife,  including migratory birds. As part of a current project, the group is trying to promote activities such as eco﹣tourism along the coasts. The hope is that, as more tourist
s come to visit protected natural areas,  there will be an ________ for local people to care for the birds and their habitats.
    Wildlife organizations around the Mediterranean are helping to bring about change. "Hunting bans are working, " says Martin Jacoby, a bird expert. But there is still more to do. Environmentalists hope to stop hunting and restore bird habitats all over the Mediterranean. If this can be done, the birds' number will increase. "There is a long way to go, " Jacoby says, "but just like after a long journey in the desert, there will be an oasis（绿洲）."

3.     Gift givers often make serious mistakes in gift selection during the holiday season,  according to a research article in Current Directions in Psychological Science.
    The research,  led by Jeff Galak,  a professor from Carnegie Mellon University Tepper School of Business,  suggests that gift givers tend to focus on the moment of exchange when selecting a gift,  while gift receivers are more focused on the long﹣term value of the gift.
