In ancient times, people thought that their gods lived on the tops of mountains. They therefore believed that anything above them was nearer to their gods than they. Naturally, they thought that birds were messengers from the gods. People also believed that birds carried their souls to the gods when they died. There were many beliefs about how to treat birds. Some people even believed that killing a bird was an act against the gods and would bring bad luck. In some parts of the United States, people still believe that if they hear an owl (猫头鹰) in the early evening, it means death. Another link with these past beliefs is in an English expression. People no longer believe that birds are messengers of the gods, but when someone knows a secret about another person, he or she might say, “A little bird told me about it.”
We know, of course, that birds can’t talk and that owls don’t really mean death, yet we still have these superstitions（迷信）. Many sailors believe that if they see an albatross (信天翁), it will bring bad luck to their ship. People all over the world use the dove (鸽) as a symbol of peace and feel good when they see one. North Americans think of the eagle as a symbol of freedom, and some people still hold that dreaming a bird means that they are seeing the loss of a soul.

A. their gods lived on tree tops B. their gods lived high above them

Lake Michigan, the second largest of the Great Lakes, is the only Great Lake entirely within the borders of the United States. Its name is derived from the Indian words "Michi-gama" meaning "large lake”. And it is large. It has a surface area of 22,300 square miles, making it the largest freshwater lake in the U.S. and the 5th largest lake in the world.
Lake Michigan was formed during the last Great Ice Age as glaciers advanced across what is now called the Great Lakes Region. As they receded ( 退走 ), large glacial lakes were formed. Lake Michigan has diminished ( 变小 ) from its original size over time yet its significance to both human and natural ecosystems ( 生态系统 ) remains strong.
About 10,000 to 14,000 years ago, at the end of the Great Ice Age, ancient peoples traveled over extinct land bridges to the Great Lakes region. These Woodland Indians depended on the vast forests of the region for their survival and engaged in various forms of agriculture. European settlers were also drawn to the shores of Lake Michigan because of its natural resources. Today Lake Michigan is home to the nation’s third-largest population center and provides drinking water for over 10 million people.

It is quite usual to drink cocktails before lunch and dinner in America and somewhat less usual, except in California, to drink wine with a meal. You can either have a cocktail in the bar, if there is one, while you wait for a table or for friends, or you can have one served before your dinner comes. At some restaurants the waiter/waitress will come to your table as soon as you sit down to ask if you want a cocktail, and you can then drink this while deciding what to order to eat. At others, there may be a separate cocktail waiter or waitress. In this case, you do not normally order wine from him or her but from the normal waiter.
Do not hesitate（犹豫） to order Californian wines. They can be excellent and in many parts of the country are cheap.
