probably 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 (声称)
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. If a
stranger should enter your territory and threaten you,you might shout. Probably this would be enough to
frighten him away.
If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing.
But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming 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 the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the
territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language all their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting
up territories.
B. a way of warning
C. an expression of anger
D. a way of greeting
B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.
C. An area for which birds fight against each other.
D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.
B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.
C. Because they want to find outsiders around.
D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.
B. By reporting experiment results.
C. By describing birds" daily life.
D. By telling a bird"s story.
America and in China. I can"t tell any difference. But when I hear someone from America speak English
and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.
I believe a common problem with Chinese students" learning English is that they were not taught to think
in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, Then they think
in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After a long period of speaking the language, one
begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the
very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?
My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak. There are many things you
can do to improve your spoken English. Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a
language of the country.
B. the same
C. not like each other

C. Chinese teachers

in Chinese carefully first.

| It"s the lunchtime break at Shanghai Xianxia Middle School. No mobile phones can be heard ringing anywhere. The common sight of crowds of children chatting on their phones or sending short messages has disappeared.

| Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts on solo (单独的) space flights are given plenty of work to keep them 1 . There are also constant communications with people on the earth. 2 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being 3 . This is what happens on long submarine (潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 4 space flights in the future. Will there be special problem of adjustment (调整) under such 5 ? Scientists have studied the reactions (反应) of men to one another during long submarine 6 . They have found that the longer the voyage 7 , the more serious the problem of 8 is. When men are 9 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable.
