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.

A 90-year-old tortoise (乌龟) is going twice its usual speed after being equipped (装备) with a set of wheels. The animal, called Mrs T, was facing a terrible future after losing her two front legs in a mouse attack while she was sleeping in winter, but her owners glued the wheels onto her shell (外壳).
“She’s going double the speed she used to,” said the owner Jude Ryder, “She uses her back legs to push herself along and seems quite happy.”
The 58-year-old owner was surprised when she went to check on her loved pet last month and found her front legs had been eaten in the mouse attack. The local animal doctor tried his best to save Mrs T. But he was afraid that the tortoise would not survive without being mobile. After paying £1,000 for the treatment, Mrs Ryder turned to her son Dale for help. Dale designed the front wheels and used resin (树脂) to add them to the front of the shell. Mrs Ryder said: “She liked them immediately, but she must learn how to turn and stop. She can get a good speed up, much faster than before. Mrs T is still quite young for a tortoise. She could go on for another 50 years. All she needs is a new set of tyres (轮胎) sometimes.”
When Mrs T was sixty years old, she was bought as a pet for Dale, an 8-year-old boy. It liked running happily in Mrs Ryder’s garden in spring and summer. When winter came, Mrs T slept in the garden shelter. A mouse got in last month and chewed (咬) off both her front legs. Mrs Ryder said: “We were afraid she would be sure to die, but her new set of wheels have saved her life. She can run in the garden again and we can always find her because she leaves very strange footprints behind wherever she goes.”
Mice attacking tortoises is not uncommon around us—in 2013 Britain’s oldest tortoise died after a mouse attack. The tortoise called Thomas was 130 when he was bitten at his home in Guernsey. He spent five days on strong antibiotics (抗生素), but the wound became so infected (被感染的) that his owner had no choice but to have him put to sleep.
1. After being equipped with a set of wheels, Mrs T can move by using .
A. her back legs to push herself
B. her front legs to pull herself
C. her back wheels to pull herself
D. her front wheels to push herself
2.According to the passage, Mrs Ryder’s son is about .
A. 8 years old B. 28 years old
C. 38 years old D. 58 years old
3.Which of the following shows the right order of the story?
a. A mouse chewed off Mrs T’s two front legs.
b. Mrs T’s owners glued the wheels onto her shell.
c. Mrs T learned how to turn and stop with equipped wheels.
d. The local animal doctor tried his best to treat Mrs T.
e. Mrs T was bought as a pet for Dale when she was sixty.
A. e-a-b-c-d B. a-b-c-d-e
C. a-e-b-c-d D. e-a-d-b-c
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A. Mrs Ryder is able to move much faster than before.
B. Tortoises attacking mice is not uncommon around us.
C. The animal doctor added the front wheels to the shell.
D. Mrs T can go faster after being equipped with wheels.
