【答案解析】[听力原文]
Now you can use any kind of tree to feed your wild friends during the Christmas holidays. Share the bounties of food with the wild birds in your backyard. Decorate a tree in your yard for wild friends. Do this with family or friends to share the good feelings that you will get. Also, you are going to enjoy countless moments of enjoyment as you watch birds enjoy the treats you provided. The custom originated in 16th century, northern Europe. Farmers in Sweden and Norway place sheaves of grain outside during the holidays. If birds feast on the grain, it is considered a good omen for next year's harvest. The same custom is true in Denmark where wildlife lovers hang bites of beef and bread on trees. In Hungary, people celebrate New Year's Day with the wild birds by placing trays filled with birdseed and grain.
