Over time, the cuckoo(布谷鸟)has learned to get other birds to care for its babies. The cuckoo is an amazing bird. Most birds lay their eggs and look after them until their babies hatch out(孵出).Then they feed their babies until they are ready to leave the nest.

Some birds are not such good parents. Cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and do not care for their own babies. They get other birds to act as the parents. The other birds are left with the work of bringing up the young cuckoos as well as their own babies!

If the cuckoo egg hatches first, the baby cuckoo will often push the other eggs out of the nest so that it can get all the attention of its new mother. The young cuckoo sometimes even pushes the other babies out of the nest. The young cuckoo has a loud cry and is often bigger than the other baby birds. It will take all the food and the space in the nest.

A cuckoo lays around 25 eggs each year in the nests of other birds. This means that many other birds spend all their time looking after young cuckoos instead of their own babies. Some birds have learned to recognize the cuckoos' eggs and they push them out of their nests. But the cuckoos have also found ways of fooling the other birds. They can change their eggs to make them look just like the other birds' own eggs.

How did men first learn to invent words? It is still unknown to people; in other words, the origin* of language is a mystery. All we suppose is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined* to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.

We are sure that the power of words lies in their associations-- the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words make us think of the glad and sad things of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which strongly appeal to people and have great effect on our minds and feelings. This lovely and wonderful use of words is what we call literary* style. Above all, the real poet is a owner of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position* and association can move men to tears. We should learn to choose our words carefully and use them true, or they will make our speech silly and low.

1.From the passage, we learn that language might begin with　　 .

A. feelings           B. actions            C. signs    　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　 D. sounds

2.The underlined phrase appeal to probably means　　　 .

A. to interest　　                     B. to let... down

C. to make...relaxed　　     　　             D. to surprise...

3.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. The power of new words

B. The importance of old words

C. The association of our experience with words

D. The change and development of words

4.From the passage, we can learn that ________.

A. people have discovered how words came from

B. it’s enough for a good writer to have great thoughts

C. the anthor suggest people to use words with right skills

D. the longer we live, the number of words that mean something will be smaller.
