It's a must-eat fruit in Southeast Asia: People there call it 'King of Fruits". Many love it so much that they eat it at every meal. It is the durian (榴莲).

The durian can only grow in hot places. Its name "durian" comes from the Malay word "duff".

The durian is the most famous fruit in Southeast Asia. It looks big and dangerous and has a very strong smell (浓烈的气味). They come in different sizes. A durian can grow up to 30cm long, and usually it can be as heavy as 1 to 3kg.

The greatest thing about the durian is inside. When you open it up, a very strong smell comes out. In Singapore, people can't bring a durian into a hotel room or onto a city train. And they can't bring a durian onto some planes, either.

Although the durian has a strong smell, the fruit tastes quite good.Some animals living in the forest like it!

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. (1) 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. (2)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.
