After all, you probably sing 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 animal, considers 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 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 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 happinessB. a way of warningC. an expression of angerD. a way of greeting29. What does the underlined word “territory” mean? A. An area which a bird considers to be its own.B. An area for which birds fight against each other.C. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.D. A place where families of other species are not welcome.30. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A. Because they want to invite more friends.B. Because they want to find outsiders around.C. Because they want to express their happiness.D. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.31. How does the writer explain birds singing? A. By telling a birds story.B. By describing birds daily life.C.By reporting experiment results.D. By comparing birds with human beings. CCaptain James Cook was a great explorer. Before he started exploring, maps of the Pacific Ocean were almost empty.

It happens to everybody sometimes. Luckily, there are many things you can do to make the reading a lot easier and faster. For example, if you read a paragraph, consider skimming over the whole story to get the main idea and the main characters, so youll know what to pay attention to as you read more closely. Reading about the book on the Internet can be a good way to get a good conclusion of the reading to help you get through it more easily. Just dont forget to go back and read through more closely.While reading, dont forget to look up any words or ideas you arent sure about. You can use context (上下文) clues to help you understand things you think difficult, but its always a good idea to take a minute to learn any reference (参考书). Itll make the reading much easier. More importantly, be sure to learn to take notes while you are reading. You can write questions in the margin (页边空白), and underline things which you think are interesting and important ideas. If youre reading something difficult and find yourself often wanting to go back to get something you missed, then, at the end of each page, or even at the end of each paragraph, write something about what happened on that page. If you find something that needs answering, always write it down. This might give you a good question to ask later in class, or give you something to think more about as you continue reading. Whats more, when you finish reading, start writing down what seems important, what you think the purpose of the writing is, and how it makes you feel as a reader. After you finish reading, get together with your friends or classmates and discuss the reading. Try to know how your classmates understand the reading and compare it with your own. Try not to talk about whether or not it is “boring”, but pay attention to how well your classmates explain what you might have found difficult. Think of open questions to explore the reading, and dont ask questions that can be answered with a “yes” or a “no”. Learning to ask “how” is a helpful way of coming up with big discussion questions.How to understand what you readSkim beforereading closely Start with skimming or reading about the book 56 to know what the book is mainly about. In this way, you know what you should pay 57 to while reading it closely.Look up any unsure words or ideas Try to understand 58 parts according to context clues. You can also read more 59 with the help of references.Take notes Taking notes is of great 60 while you are reading.Write questions in the margin and underline something 61 or important.
