Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.Some scientists believe

10、 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

11、male, claims （聲稱） as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species 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 threaten you, you might shout. Probably this

12、 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

13、screaming is what we call a bird 's song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in the 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

16、ers to be its own.D. A place where families of other species are not accepted.24. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A. Because they want to find outsiders around.B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.C. Because they want to invite more friends.D. Because their singing h

24、nt to let it cool down a bit before drinking.Researchers say letting your hot drinks cool off could help you avoid some kinds of cancer. Researchers at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found evide nee that drinks at temperatures above 65°C, whe n swallowed, can cause cance

25、rof the esophagus ( 食道). The researchers examined findings from other studies where tea and coffee were often served at 70 C or above. Those studies were completed inIran, China and South America.- 5 -In developed countries, health experts have linked esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic drink

26、s. However, this form of cancer is more commonin areas where people drink beverages at very high temperatures.In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60C .And they often add milk which lowers the temperature considerably.However,tea-dri nkers in Iran

27、and mate-dri nkers in South America ofte n enjoy their beverages at closer to 70°C.The researchers n ote that South America ns n ot only drink their mate very hot, they also drink it through a metal straw. This sends thescalding liquid directlyinto the throat.The findin gs, however, are good n

29、drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be resp on sible.28.

32、perceive （感知 ） the colour blue. A recent study aboutcolour was published in the journal Psychological Science. It shows a direct connection between a person 's ability to perceive colour and their emotions.Psychologists have long known that emotions can affect the way people perceivethings. That

33、 's in part because chemicals from your brain might affect how you process what you see. “Color is such an important part of our experience, ” says lead author Christopher Thorstenson, a psychologist at the university of Rochester, in New York. There's reason, he says, that sad people common

34、ly desc ribe the world as “colourless ” and “gray”, and happy people use words like “bright ” and “colorful ”.In the experiment, the researchers randomly assigned people to one of two groups.People in the sadness group watched a sad scene from The Lion King. Those in the “amusemen”t group watched a

35、comedy.Everyone was then asked to look at red, yellow, green, and blue patches （斑點(diǎn)）that had been changed to a grayish colour. “Some of the patches are pretty difficulty to make out, ” Thorstenson admits he says it takes some time to figure out their shade. People were scored on how accurate their co

36、lour perception was. Then they completed an emotional evaluation.The result? Sad people had a hard time seeing the difference between shades along the blue-yellow colour axis （色軸）. But they did not have problems seeing coloursin the red-green spectrum （光譜）. Thorstenson says this could be the result

37、of anevolutionary need to see red as a response to anger.Thorstenson says these results highlight the possible important of dopamine insight. Dopamine is a chemical that sends signals to the brain. Researchers are hoping to focus more on dopamine in the future. “Weknow dopamine affects how we see co

38、lours, too, ” Thorstenson says “Howwe feel can really influence how we see the world around us” he says.32.
