wondered why birds sing? 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 as its own. only he and his family are welcome there. no other families of the same species 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.51some 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 greeting52what does the underlined word “territory” mean?a. a place where families of other species are not acceptedb. a place where a bird may shout at the top of its voicec. an area for which birds fight against each otherd. an area which a bird considers to be its own53why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?a. because they want to invite more friendsb. because their singing helps frighten outsiders awayc. because they want to find outsiders aroundd. because their singing helps get rid of their fears54how does the writer explain birds singing?a. by comparing birds with human beingsb. by reporting experiment resultsc. by describing birds daily lifed. by telling a birds storybgood health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. it is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. there are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape eat right food ,get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.proper nutrition (营养) is

the proper amount of sleep is also important. if you dont get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. you have no energy. over a long period of time a little a amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的个性).be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. if you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be
