Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sin
2、g 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 (声称) a
3、s its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your house is 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
4、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 cal
5、l a birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.1. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually _.

We can only guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred ye
9、ars ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may believe that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only a
10、bout 20% of the brains capacity (能力). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change till the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.
11、 In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. Meanwhile, how
12、ever, our fingers will grow more sensitive, for they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald (秃顶的)
13、. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes; future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our
14、 own.5. Why is it certain that future man will be different? A. Because all our predictions will come true. B. Because man never stops changing. C. Because man hopes for a change. D. Because man will live a different life.6. Mans forehead will grow larger because _. A. he will make use of only about
15、 20% of the brains capacity. B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in proper time. C. he had a rather narrow forehead a few hundred years ago. D. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on.7. The passage tells us about _. A. how mans life will be in the future. B. what future man
16、will look like. C. the fact that mans organs will function differently in the future. D. the fact that man is growing uglier as time goes on.CCafe Hub Next to the Castle lies The Hub, home of the Edinburgh International Festival and one of the most talked about spots in town.
