you probably also sing or whistle when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they
sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay
out of their territory.
Do you know what a "territory" is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims (宣称)
as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species (物种) are
welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. (1)
If a stranger should enter your territory and want to hurt you, you might shout. Probably this would be
enough to frighten him away.
If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. (2)一只鸟也将会
做同样的事. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is
screaming (尖叫) all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird"s
song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate (同伴) and warn others not to enter
the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and
setting up territories.

short way of saying Web log.
Many popular Web sites now offer free, easy ways to create personal Web pages and fill them with
writings and pictures. Web sites called "Facebook" and "MySpace" are some of the most popular blog sites
for young people. Many young adults use their blogs to write about daily activities and events in their lives.
They also provide a place for people to write their ideas and opinions and how they think of others" ideas.
Blogs offer young people a place to show their writings and feelings. They can also be helpful to connect*
young people with others. But blogs can become dangerous when they are read on the Internet by millions of
people all over the world.
Recent studies show that young people often provide their names, age and where they live on the Internet.
That may not be safe for them. This personal information puts them at risk* of being searched out by
dangerous people who want to hurt them. Many students do not know about privacy* and are surprised to
learn that adults can read their personal daily records easily. Students can also get into trouble when they put
information about others on their blogs.
As a result, many schools have banned* the use of blogging web sites on school computers. Many
schools have also begun teaching parents about the web sites. Parents should know what their children are
doing online and should read their blogs to make sure they are not giving out private information. One way to
keep away from these problems is to use programs so that blogs can be read by"friends only." people can
read the website only if they know a secret word chosen by the blogger.

longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first
two days and she couldn"t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this
new classroom arrangement (安排). "Now our class is quieter," said Wu. "What"s more, we can come up
with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It"s a better way to study."
Li Yu liked it, too. He said, "Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole
class. It makes us believe in ourselves." It was part of a reform (改革) at Li"s school. The school made this
reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss.
"Our school hopes it can improve students" abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups," said
Zhang Ming, an English teacher.
However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give
the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The
teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.
"The reform demands more, but I"m sure it is helpful," added Zhang Ming.

that eating chocolate may also make people cleverer.
Dr. Bryan Raudenbush recently made a study to see if eating chocolate can make people cleverer. The
U. S. scientist knew that chocolate had several stimulants (兴奋剂). But he was not sure how these stimulants
did their job and thus made people clever.
To find out, Dr. Raudenbush gave the first group of people 85g of milk chocolate to eat and the second
group ate no chocolate at all. After 15 minutes, he tested their memory, and he also tried to see if they were
able to deal with problems right.
The first group had higher scores. They were able to remember more words and pictures than the second
group, and they could solve (解决) problems much faster. Dr. Raudenbush then decided that the stimulants
in chocolate could make people do things faster and better. And he suggested that if people wanted to do a
better job, eating chocolate from time to time may be of help.
Of course eating chocolate can"t make sure that you can study well without hard work. You"ll still need
to study hard to get good results.
B. excited
C. funny
D. crazy
B. he wasn"t sure how many people wanted to eat chocolate
C. he knew it was a kind of good food
D. he wanted to know if the stimulants could help people do things better
B. the first group did things as well as the second group
C. both groups didn"t do things well
D. the first group did things better than the second group
B. become cleverer
C. grow faster
D. become healthier
B. mustn"t eat any chocolate
C. still need to study hard
D. can just eat chocolate without study
called "Skulls" and "Dust", was discovered in July, 2004. Compared to computer viruses, these were
harmless, but proved that a virus could be spread across a mobile network.
But as mobile phone technology moves forward, so do the viruses and the people who create them.
Now many people use "pocket computers" such as PDAs and "smart-phones" which can receive multimedia
messages in different forms like photos, videos, and music, and the most recent virus, "Cabir", is spread by
opening these kinds of multimedia messages. This virus gets into the mobile phone or PDA and then makes
it stop working. In only six months the virus has spread across almost 20 countries across the world-that
shows that it could easily get into millions of phones and PDAs.
There are some viruses inside illegal (非法的) copies of games. These viruses take personal information
that is stored on someone"s phone, and use it to make money for the people who sent the virus. Sometimes
the viruses have a programme that makes expensive phone calls to high cost numbers. The result is a very
high phone bill for the victim (受害者).
In answer to this new threat (威胁), many new models of mobile phones and PDAs are now appearing
in stores with anti-virus software on them, just like computers.
B. "Dust"
C. "Skulls" and "Dust"
B. were not dangerous
C. made phones stop working
B. Photos and videos.
C. Pocket computer.
B. By opening multimedia messages.
C. By calling expensive phone numbers.
B. They are putting anti-virus software on new phones.
C. They are improving mobile technology.
