Travel by train
Jack loves traveling by train. Whenever he feels like traveling, he'd first think about taking a trip on the
rail. That is because he never has to bother to book (订) tickets or collect them in advance (提前). Going to
the station and buying a ticket are what he has to do.
Traveling by train is also very comfortable. Most of the trains are air-conditioned, warm in winter and
cool in summer. Jack usually chooses a non-smoking section, taking a seat by the window so he can enjoy
the outside views. If it is a night train, the experience can be exciting. He just sleeps the whole night and the
next day, he will be in a new city. By the way, he never has to worry about his meals. The train provides
food around the clock.
Traveling by train has another advantage to offer: you may run into some old friends or you can listen
to people talking about something of your interest. Last week when he was on a train, for instance, he ran
into a primary school classmate. They didn't expect that they could bump into each other that way. Their
talk brought back many things: the games they played, the jokes they made on their peers and the funny
things they had done.

阅读下面的短文,并完成短文后的任务。
Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably also 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(宣称)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. (76▲) If a stranger should enter your territory and want to hurt 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. (78▲)一只鸟也将会做同样的事. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢)season. So he is screaming(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 spring when they are trying to attract a mate(同伴)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.根据 (76) 处划线部分的意思来完成下面句子。(每空一词,共2词)
You might frighten a stranger away by _______ _______ him if he should enter your territory and want to hurt you.

What is a bird’s “territory”? ( )
A. A place where other families of the same species are welcome.
B. A place where a bird can sing loudly.

D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.
3.将 (78) 处划线句子翻译成英语。
