Do you know why birds sing? Many children say that they are just happy. Sometimes when you are happy, you tray also sing.
Some scientists (科学家) believe that birds sing sometimes because they want to tell others that they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is in fact a warning (警告) to other birds to stay out of their territory.
Then what is a "territory"? When a male (雄性的) animal claims (声称) a place as its own, the place is called its territory. Only he and his family are welcome there. For example, people's gardens and houses are their territories. If a strange person watts to come to your territory and hurt you, you might shout. This might be enough to frighten (吓唬) him away. If so, people drive the person away without having to fight with him. A bird does the same thing. He screams (尖叫). But he does it almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. And birds sing louder (大声地) in spring than in other seasons. This screaming is what we call a bird's song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.

A famous scientist made some great inventions. A newspaper reporter asked him why he thought he was able to be so much more creative than other persons. What made him so successful and different from others?
He said it all came from an experience with his mother when he was about two years old.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} when he lost his control on the bottle and it fell, pouring the milk all over the kitchen floor — a sea of milk!
His mother didn't shout at him,instead, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made!{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Well, something bad had happened. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up{#blank#}3{#/blank#}? We could use a sponge(海绵)or a towel. Which I do you prefer?" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled(溅出的) milk.
His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to carry a big milk bottle with two small hands.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it." In the end, the little boy learned how to carry the bottle without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!
A. Let's go out and fill the bottle with water B. What really have you done C. He tried to move a bottle of milk from the refrigerator D. So, how would you like to do that E. I have never seen such a huge pool of milk |
A. If you drink water when you exercise, you'll get headaches and feel tired. B. Evening is the best time to exercise as it's always cool. C. Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to improve strength. D. A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy. E Girls who do strength training will make their muscles big. F. The best time to exercise is early in the morning. |
Today, people are paying more and more attention to improving their health through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Foods like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not. Carbohydrates are the best and most easily used form of energy. The energy that you get for today's game is from what you ate yesterday!
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening period suits you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. There is no fixed time for you to exercise.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
The fact is that you must have some water during breaks when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don't drink enough water, then you'll probably get headaches and feel tired.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
False. Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to cause problems. To improve strength, you want to work your muscles(肌肉) hard, but then you need to give those muscles a day of rest. Too much exercise can cause serious problems to muscles.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Wrong. We usually connect those big muscles with bodybuilders(健美运动员), but girls don't have enough male hormone(雄性激素) to make their muscles big like men. Strength training is a good way to make their muscles strong for girls.
