you probably sing or whistle (吹口哨) 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 no outsiders 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.56. some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually .a. an expression of happinessb. a way of warningc. an expression of angerd. a way of greeting57. what is a birds “territory”?a. a place where families of other species are accepted.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.58. why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?a. because they want to invite more friends.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.59. how does the writer explain birds singing?a. by comparing birds with human beings. b. by reporting experiment results.c. by describing birds daily life.d. by telling a birds story.60. where will you probably find the passage? a. a textbook b. a newspaper c. a science report d. a guidebook*结束 (2011江南十校二模，c) awardwinning author emma donoghues latest book, room, is a unique and amazing

however, there are four familiar influences that have special significance in the socialization process. they are the family, schooling, peer groups and the mass media.the family is the most important agent of socialization because it represents the center of childrens lives. babies are almost totally dependent on others, and the responsibilities of meeting their needs almost always fall on parents and other family members. at least until the start of schooling, the family is responsible for teaching children cultural values and attitudes towards themselves and others.family based socialization is not entirely intentional. children learn continuously from the kind of environment that adults create for them. whether children learn to think of themselves as strong or weak, smart or stupid,
