Have you ever 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's screaming （高声尖叫） all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not．This screaming is what we call a bird's 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 something to do with attracting mates and setting up territories．

1.Some scientists believe that most of the time birds' singing is actually

3.Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?

A．Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away．

B．Because their singing helps get rid of their fears．

C．Because they want to find outsiders around．

D．Because they want to invite more bird friends．

4.How does the writer explain birds' singing?

A．By comparing birds with human beings．            B．By reporting experimental results．

My Fellow Americans,

I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (老年痴呆症).

Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private citizens we would 36 this a private matter or we would make this news known in a  37 way.

In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer  38I had my cancer surgeries (外科手术). We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to  39 public awareness(意识). We were happy that 40   many more people went to have a test. They were treated in early stages and able to 41to normal, healthy lives.

So now, we feel it is  42   to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater  43of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are  44   by it.

At the moment I feel just fine. I’d 45   to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have 46done. I will continue to share  47    journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch  48   my friends and supporters.

Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease 49, the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this 50 experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will 51it with faith and courage.

At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of 52  me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home, 53 that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (乐观) for its future.

I now begin this 54that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright 55 ahead.

Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.

Sincerely,

Ronald Reagan

From the end of next year, all shops, market stalls and takeaways in Wales will be obliged to charge up to 15p each for plastic or paper bags. Wales is to become the first part of Britain to ban free carrier bags after deciding that efforts by supermarkets to cut waste have proved ineffective.

Jane Davidson, the Welsh Environment Minister, said that the revenue（收入） would go to a new independent body, which would spend the money on local environmental projects. She admitted that a small number of people might switch to shops in England, where there are no plans to charge for carrier bags. She said that tough action was necessary. Ms Davidson, a Labor member of the Welsh Assembly’s ruling Labor-Plaid Cymrucoalition, hopes the ban will embarrass her counterparts（对应的人） in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland into similar action.

Wales is planning to use a little-known clause(条款) in last year’s Climate Change Act, which enables the government to outlaw free bags. Ms. Davidson said: “We want to encourage people to think about what they do. All the other ministers are still signed up to the voluntary agenda. You will see a different message from me.”

Last week the media revealed that Tesco had published misleading figures giving the impression that it had met a voluntary target to halve the use of plastic bags in three years. Seven supermarket chains reported last month that the total number of free bags they had issued had fallen by 48 percent to 450 million a month in the three years to last May. The figures masked that Marks & Spencer, the only chain to charge for bags, had made much faster progress than its rivals. It cut bag use by 83 percent after introducing a 5p charge last year. Ms. Davidson said that banning free bags would encourage a wider shift to a less wasteful society. She was considering a charge of between 5p and 15p, but indicated that she favored the upper end of the range.

1.Which city is the first part of Britain to ban free carrier bags? _______

A. Wales　　 B. England

C. Scotland　　 D. Northern Ireland

2.A certain amount of purchase will take place in England because_____________.

A. the carrier bags are cheaper there　　 B. the goods there are free

3.The government cited a little-known clause in last year’s Climate Change Act for the purpose of _________.

A. arousing public’s sense of reducing waste　　 B. reducing the customers’ resistance

C. promoting charging bags with legal means　　 D. enabling supermarket to cut waste

4.According to Ms. Davidson, she preferred a free bag’s charge to be ________.

A. 5p　　 B. 15p

C. between 5p and 15p　　 D. above 15p
