　　The rising level of noise in urban areasmay be preventing some species of songbirds from setting up home in developed areas,a study has concluded.Canadian researchers found tha tnoisy surroundings masked the lower frequencies of birdsongs,affecting the way some species communicated.Unable to hear all elements of a song,females could perceive singing males as ill-suited mates, they added.There has been a growing interest in preserving or increasing the biodiversity of songbirds in urban areas.This leads to the investigation on whether there was a link between bird diversity and noise levels.Dr. Proppe is aprofessor of Calvin College.His team surveyed species at 113 sitesin natural areas within the city of Edmonton.They found that the number of speciesat each location tended to be lower when noise levels were higher.The decreasein species richness was one of the study's major findings.The study alsofocused on seven species that did in habit the area to see if their abundance was affected as the urban noise increased.What they found is that three of the species did have lower abundances
　　inlocations that were noisier.Dr. Proppe suggested that females may perceive the song as abnormal if they could not hear the lower frequencies.If the adults stop pairing and mating,then the number of off spring would decrease as aresult.Over a period of time,this could have a potential impact on the abundance of the species.
　　Q19.How does the urban noise affect the communication of birds?
　　Q20.What did Dr. Proppe's team find?
　　Q21.Why do some birds stop pairing andmating in some urban areas?

　　Nowadays,making money while in collegeis not really difficult.Many students can cover both their tuition and life expense without asking their parents for help.One of their first options to make money in the area surrounding the universityis apart-time job.That's because most universities are located in areas that abound with retail stores,and therefore, retail jobs.These jobs always give colleges tudents a steady source of income.The universities work placement program can be very helpful.Most universities offer these programs to help students gain employment thatis easily accessible,ideal for a student's schedule and flexible.However, these jobs go quickly and may not offer as much of a wage as other options.A less traditional way to make money isto get rid of all the extra things you aren't using.Try selling these items on theInternet.This option helps you clear some space
　　in theapartment and at the same time,you get some extra income.The shortcoming is that you must pay a small percentage to the website for using the service.Babysitting may sound uninteresting.Yet it is a good choice of apart-time jobfor college students.There are lots of parentsout there looking for quality and trustworthy people to mind their children while they go back towork.It may provide you with additional study time during children's nap time.Allin all, finding suitable jobs depends on students' skills and qualifications and their academic study should be the top priority.
　　Q22.What makes part-time jobs become college students' first option to make money?
　　Q23.Whatis the shortcoming of jobsoffered by university work placement programs?
　　Q24.According to the passage,how can students deal with the thingsthey are not using?
　　Q25.When can students studywhile doing the babysitting job?
