maybe you thought that they were just happy. after all, 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(声明) 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 frighten 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(外人) 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 louder in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate(配偶) 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.8. some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually _. a. an expression of happiness b. a way of warning c. an expression of anger d. a way of greeting9. what does the underlined(划线的) word territory mean? a. a place where families of other species are living. b. a place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice. c. an area where birds fight against each other. d. an area which a bird considers （认为）to be its own.10. why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? a. because they want to invite more friends. b. because their singing helps frighten outsiders around. c. because they want to find outsiders around. d. because their singing helps get rid of (摆脱)their fears.11. how does the writer explain birds singing? a. by comparing birds with human being（人类）. b. by reporting results of experiments c. by describing birds daily life. d. by telling a birds storyda girl complained to her father about her hard lifeshe didnt know what she had to do and wanted to give upshe felt tired of fighting and fightingone problem had been finished but another came overher father，a cook，took her into the kitchenhe poured water into three pans and boiled(煮沸) themafter boiling，in the first pan was put some carrots，the second was put some eggs and the last was put with coffeethe girl waited impatiently (不耐烦的)，confused by what her father didabout 20 minutes later，her father took out the carrots and put them in a bowlhe took the eggs and put them in a bowlafter that the coffee was poured into a cup“my sweet heart，what do you see？” he asked“carrots，eggs and coffee，” she repliedher father told her to close her eyes and asked her to touch the carrotsshe did so and felt that the carrots were softafter that he asked her to take the eggs and break themafter peeling (剥开) them，she got the eggs，cooked and hardthe last，the father let her smell the coffee she asked，“what did you do this for，father？” he explained that each had the same unlucky experiencethe boiling water，but each had a different result the strong and hard carrots had become soft and weakthe fragile eggs became hard after being cooked the coffee was very special，they could change water“who are you？” asked her father“when bad luck knocks at your door，what is your decision?
