Its also very cold and dark. With me is Jim Nightingale, and he is the reason Im up so early. He passes me a hot cup of coffee. Not long to wait now, he says. I hope hes right. After a few minutes there is a very weak light in the east, and then I hear a bird singing. It sings very loud and very clear. Thats the robin（知更鸟）, says Jim. A few more birds start singing with the robin and Jim knows the names of them too. Half an hour later, there are more and more birds singing, and its very loud! Suddenly, all around us the air is full of the sound of birdsong. This is the dawn chorus（晨鸣）, and its beautiful. Wow, this is amazing! I tell Jim, who is smiling. Is there a dawn chorus every morning? Birds can sing any time of the year but the best time is the end of winter and during the spring. This is when the birds sing most. Really? So, why do they sing? I ask. Well, there are two reasons, explains Jim. Most of the songbirds who sing are males. They want to find a female（雌性）so they sing to show how strong they are. The females listen and choose the best singer! The birds also sing to tell other males to go away . They need their own area; they dont like sharing with another male. I listen to the birds; the songs seem too much to me. Do the birds sing a special song in the morning? Thats a good question, replied Jim. The successful birds have many kinds of calls and songs. Sometimes they copy the songs of other birds. This makes it sound like there are many birds in that place already and other males stay away. Also the female likes songs with different notes. Some birds, for example the European wren, have songs that contain over 700 different notes per minute! So, how does Jim know so much about birds? Well, he works as a volunteer for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He is trying to help the birds live in the modern world. More and more of the birds habitat disappears every year. The sparrow, for example, was a very common bird in the UK, now its in danger.By now the sun is up and the birds are quiet. Its light so they can start looking for food, they need a big breakfast after all that singing. （二十一） Why does the writer get up early in the morning?A. To visit her friend. B. To drink hot coffee.C. To see different birds. D. To hear birds sing.（二十二） When you hear a bird sing in the morning, its most probably _.A. a robin B. a sparrowC. a male bird D. a female bird（二十三） A bird sings early in the morning mainly _. A. to call a females attention B. to fight with other males C. to find a place to live in D. to start looking for food（二十四） According to the text, which of the following statements is true? A. At first the writer is happy to be up so early in the morning. B. Male birds have their own ways of fooling other birds. C. Its easier for the birds to find food early in the morning. D. Jim has a job with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.（二十五） The text is mainly about _.
