　　People normally think of dogs as man's best friends, but to Brian Wilson, his two pet parrots are his best friends.
　　It all began in 1995, when Brian was still a fire fighter. A car accident caused serious damage to his brain. After several months of treatment, Brian's doctors said that he would never talk again and would have to spend the rest of his life in a nursing home.
　　However, according to Brian, his two pet parrots didn't give up easily. They kept talking to him day and night, until one day, he said one word, then another, and all of a sudden was talking like a normal person again!
　　Brian was so thankful that he decided to set up a home for birds which are not wanted by their owners.
　　Now 15 years later, his house is home to about 80 birds, which included a great variety of birds like several macaws, cockatoos and African grays. The birds fly around from room to room, some cackling (发出咯咯声), others talking like humans. Though they all have big cages, Brian lets them fly freely inside the house.
　　Over the years, Brian has developed a special relationship with birds. The birds who bite other humans, seem to like him and can get along with him well. He is now called a bird whisperer (鸟语者).
　　Brian pays for most of the costs of looking after the birds from his own money, but has recently established a foundation (基金) to accept donations. He and his birds also earn money by performing at birthday parties, weddings and other social events.
　　For people who want to adopt (领养) Brian's bird, they have to volunteer at the foundation for three months, before they can take the pet home.

32．Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
　　Stress (压力) for a teenager is as real a problem as stress for an adult. To deal with it, it's important to understand the causes of stress in teenagers.
　　When parents change their jobs or if the family decides to move to a different place, the child has to change schools, find new friends, be fit for the new social circle and fit into new groups. It is always difficult for children to be fit for such changes, which can be a serious cause of stress in their life.
　　Academic (学业的) difficulties, such as inability to understand a certain subject can cause stress. Not every child has the ability to understand every subject. Some kids need extra help besides school work to understand a few concepts (概念). When teenagers are poor at academic performance, they are often laughed at and are looked down upon by both teachers and partners. In such cases, it can make the child feel lonely, unnoticed and hurt. All of this, put together, can add to stress.
　　Extracurricular (课外的) activities such as playing a sport, or attending art classes can weigh heavily on a child's mind. Dealing with school and extracurricular activities at the same time does seem like a burden(负担)when you have to be good at both.
　　These are the common causes of stress in teenagers, which can be noticed through signs such as poor memory, anxiety, negative and pessimistic (消极悲观的) attitude by parents. If the signs of teenage stress go unnoticed for a long time, it can't keep the balance of the child's feelings.
