I'm sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds ,but don't realize that they may be doing them harm .The visitors should be told that what have done is very harmful to the birds , and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food .For us every person, it's our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully. Yours, Sun Yan Question: From the passage we know people should _ Options: A: live and play with the birds B: stop the birds from eating too much C: give right food to the birds D: give more food to the birds
