thought that they were just happyafter 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 happyhowever，they sing most of the time for a very different reasontheir singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territorydo you know what a“territory”is? a territory is an area that an animal，usually the male，claims(声称)as its ownonly he and his family are welcome thereno other families of the same species(物种)are welcomeyour yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcomeif a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you，you might shoutprobably this would be enough to frighten him away if so，you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight hima bird does the same thingbut he expects an outsider almost any time，especially at nesting(筑巢) seasonso 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 all their ownmost of it has something to do with attracting mates and setting up territories44some scientists believe that most of the time birdssinging is actually aa way of warning ban expression of happinesscan expression of anger da way of greeting45what is a birds“territory”? aa place where families of other species are not accepted ban area which a bird considers to be its own can area for which birds fight against each otherda place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice46why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? abecause they want to invite more friends bbecause they want to find outsiders around cbecause their singing helps frighten outsiders away dbecause their singing helps get rid of their fears47how does the writer explain birds singing? aby comparing birds with human beingsbby reporting experiment results cby describing birds daily fife dby telling a birds storydif confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his september 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. while many people in china will remember confucius on his special day, few people in the united states will give him a passing(短暂的) thought. its nothing personal. most americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. but this doesnt mean that americans dont care about confucius. in many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of china. in the past two decades, the chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in western universities. more recently, the chinese government has set up confucius institutes in more than 80 countries. these schools teach both chinese language and culture. the main courses of chinese culture usually included chinese art, history and philosophy（哲学）. some social scientists suggest that westerners should take advantage of the ancient chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of westerners philosophy. students in the united states, at the same time, are racing to learn chinese. so they will be ready for life in a world where china is an equal power with the united states. businessmen who hope to make money in china are reading books about confucius to understand their chinese customers. so the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well. today china attracts the west more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce confucius and chinese culture to the west. as for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the west, even if his birthday is. 48. the opening paragraph is mainly intended to _a. provide some key facts about confuciusb. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations c. show great respect for the ancient thinkerd.attract the readers interest in the subject49. we can learn from paragraph 4 that american students_a. have a great interest in studying chineseb. take an active part in chinese competitionsc. try to get high scores in chinese examsd. fight for a chance to learn chinese50. the passage is likely to appear in _. a. a biography b. a history paper c. a newspaper d. a philosophy textbook ewhat is your favorite color? do you like yellow, orange, or red? if you do, you must be an optimist （ 乐观派），a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. do you prefer gray or blue? 51 if you love green, you are strong- minded and determined. _52_ at least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. _53_ a yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. _54_ light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. it is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather t
