Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.21.

How Vitamins Work in Mans BodyC. Staying Healthy D. Sleeping WellBAlthough computers used to be large, expensive and difficult to use, they have been made smaller, cheaper and easier to use. As a result, more people have been buying computers for their homes and businesses. They are used to record information and make difficult things easy.Lets look at some of the many ways computers may affect(影响) your life.Want to get the best treatment at hospitals? Your doctors at hospitals have been greatly helped by computers to get information about patients. It is possible for doctors from different hospitals to read the records of patients, discuss them and make decisions on the best treatment. It would, at one time, take them hours and days to do so.Want to talk to your friends both at home and abroad? Then its necessary to connect your computer to the Internet and set up your own e-mail letter box. You can then collect and send mails in seconds. It will be a waste of time and money to post your letters.Want to get advice from Michael Jordan on how to play basketball like a NBA super star? Now it is possible to find out what it is on the Internet.But if you think you have entered the information age because you have the chance to use the Internet, you are wrong. The reason is quite a simple one: over 98 percent of the information on the Internet is in English. The information on-line wont be helpful to you unless you can use English freely.24.

Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you 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 birds 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 of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.28. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually _.A. an expression of happiness B. an expression of angerC. a way of warning D. a way of greeting29. How does the writer explain birds singing?A. By telling a birds story.B. By comparing birds with human beings.C. By reporting experiment results.D. By describing birds daily life.30. What is a birds “territory”?A. An area for which birds fight against each other.B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C. A place where families of other species are not accepted.D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.31. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away. B. Because they want to find outsiders around.C. Because they want to invite more friends.D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.DThere is no doubt that to study abroad gives you an excellent opportunity to learn things which are very helpful in your career building.
