If you think GM food sounds far away from you, you are totally wrong. In fact, you may eat GM food every day. Four of every five people in the world are eating GM food, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.

According to Xinhua News Agency, in China, the only GM plants that are grown for sale are cotton and papaya. Also, China buys some GM plants from other countries, such as soybeans and corn. The GM plants are used to make other products.

A reporter once said, “In China, more than half of cooking oil is soybean oil. And 90 percent of that oil is made from GM soybeans.” So it’s possible that we eat GM food every day!

Scientists have changed GM plants’ DNA in a laboratory. Scientists usually do this to protect plants against bugs and diseases and have more harvests. Many people think it’s against nature. Also, they worry that eating such food might be bad for their health.

Is GM food safe? There’s no agreement. Some people say that GM food causes tumors. But there are no long-term safety studies about GM food. If you want to stay away from GM food, you can start by checking the cooking oil in your home.

Why are your study habits different from those of your friends? Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others? One reason you may not know is that people have different learning types. Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic(动觉型).

Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs(图表) and videos, you are probably a visual learner. You are not good at copying down what the teacher says in class. Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead, if you find that works better for you.

Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to easily remember things by hearing them, then you are probably an auditory learner. You must listen carefully while the teacher is speaking because it’s the easiest way for you to learn. Sometimes you may find that taking notes stops you from listening carefully. After class, you can write down what you remember or borrow your friends’ notes to copy.

Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands, you are probably a kinesthetic learner. Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it. Of course, you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities.

Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is.

Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing 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 animal, considers 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 frighten 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 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 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 to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.

1.Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s 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 does the underlined word “territory” mean?

A. An area which a bird considers to be its own.

B. An area for which birds fight against each other.

C. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.

D. A place where families of other species are not welcome.

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

A. Because they want to invite more friends.

B. Because they want to find outsiders around.

C. Because they want to express their happiness.

D. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.

4.How does the writer explain birds’ singing?

A. By telling a bird’s story.

B. By describing birds’ daily life.

C. By reporting experiment results.

D. By comparing birds with human beings.
