问题描述：
Last fall I hung a bird feeder(进食器) outside my window. I didn't know the first thing about wild birds, so I thought as soon as I hung it up, a great many beautiful birds would come. Days, weeks and months went off; however, no birds.I asked many people, why? What was I doing wrong? “Nothing,” most of them replied. “Just wait.” So I waited, waited and waited, trying everything possible to attract the birds.
I cleaned off the deck(露台), I changed the feed, I washed the feeder, and I even made the cat go out the other door! But nothing seemed to work. So... I waited, “with patience(耐心) and hope.”
Two months later, on a Saturday afternoon, I was amazed. The most beautiful bird I have even seen in my life appeared on the bird feeder. All of a sudden, hundreds of birds were appearing from everywhere!
What a beautiful lesson these birds taught me! “Patience and hope” will attract the most beautiful things in life.
So I keep hoping and waiting, waiting and hoping. I will try to use this little lesson to help with other things in my life. I guess, “Patience is a virtue(美德)” after all.The writer hung a bird feeder outside the window to catch birds.
最佳答案： 【分析】1. 由第二段最后一句...trying everything possible to attract the birds可知，作者在窗外挂进食器是想吸引鸟，而不是抓鸟。
2. 文章并未提到进食器好不好看，只提到鸟很漂亮。
3. 由第二、三段可知，没有鸟来并不是进食器放错位置，而是需要耐心和希望。
