The new bell has three parts. The first part lasts 15 seconds. It is made up of lovely folk music. Next, there are 20 seconds of silence.

Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably also 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（宣称）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. (1) If a stranger should enter your territory and want to hurt you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. (2)一只鸟也将会做同样的事.

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（同伴）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._根据 (1) 处划线部分的意思来完成下面句子。（每空一词，共2词）You might frighten a stranger away by _ _ him if he should enter your territory and want to hurt you._根据文章，给下列问题选择最佳选项。What is a birds “territory”? （ ）AA place where other families of the same species are welcome.BA place where a bird can sing loudly.CAn area where birds often fight against each other.DAn area which a bird cons
