Maybe you don’t think animals have certain mental powers which human beings do not have. But the truth is that some of them have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.
Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like “coward”! He was especially afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run whining into his house and hide under a table.
I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. Soon after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked away from the shelter into the rain and started to go home.
When I was about two hundred metres from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened me. Howard stopped walking and began whining. Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning!
1.The author named his dog Howard mainly because of_______.

2. The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that .

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Dogs are cleverer and better than men.
B. Dogs are usually afraid of thunderstorms.
C. Some animals can feel certain things humans cannot.
D. Dogs are naturally born heroes.
4.What can be inferred about the bus shelter from the passage?

Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle(吹口哨) when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of 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(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 threaten 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. 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 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(配偶)and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language all 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 ______.
A. an expression of happiness B. a way of warning
C. an expression of anger D. a way of greeting
2.What is a bird’s “territory”?
A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.
B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.
C. An area for which birds fight against each other.
D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.
3. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?
A. Because they want to invite more friends.
B. Because their singing helps keep outsiders away.
C. Because they want to find outsiders around.
D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.

Have you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Birds, especially seagulls(海鸥) are very fond of locusts(蝗虫), but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe(成熟的), locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves, bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barks(树皮) of trees.
An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus,it has existed(存活)up to now though it is not powerful at all.
1.This passage mainly talks about ______.
A. the change of colour in locusts
B. the protective colouration of animals and pests
C. how a certain sea fish protects itself
D. animals or pests can dye themselves different colours
2.The pests that have different colours from plants usually appear at night because ______.
A. their enemies can easily find them and eat them
B. they have the habit of coming out in darkness
C. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darkness
D. birds take their rests when night comes
3.What does the word “invisible” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Can’t be seen B. Can be seen
C. Can’t move D. Can’t change
