14.Have you ever wondered why birds sing?(36)B After all,you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy.
(37)FTheir 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) as its won.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. (38)EIf so,you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. (39)ABut he expects an outsider almost all the 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 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(配偶) and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.
(40)D Most of it has to do with attracting males and setting up territories.

A.A bird does the same thing.
B.Maybe you thought that they were just happy.
C.Shouting loudly is just like a bird's screaming.
D.You can see that birds have a language of their own.
E.Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.
F.However,they sing most of the time for a very different reason.
G.So,just like human beings,birds sing for almost the same reasons.
5.Last year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good:the iPad.Instead of looking at nature,I checked my e-mail.Instead of paddling a small boat,I followed my Twitter feed(推特简讯).Instead of reading great novels,I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning.I was behaving as if I were still in the office.My body was on vacation,but my head wasn't.
    So this year I made up my mind to try something different:withdrawal from the Internet.I knew it wouldn't be easy,since I'm bad at self-control.But I was determined.I started by giving the iPad to my wife.
    The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past,making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration.I was trapped,forced to go through with my plan.Largely breaking away from e-mail,Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites,I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio-and how much radio can one listen to,really?I had to do what I had planned to do all along:read books.
    This experience has had a happy ending.With determination and the strong support of my wife,I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet,realizing finally that it was I,not the iPad,that was the problem.I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi."I don't need it,"I said.
    However,as we return to post-vacation life,a harder test begins:Can I continue when I'm back at work?
    There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great.I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely.But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes,which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.
I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive.Here I hope this one worked.

9.The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and for the environment.Those findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
    David Tilman is a professor at the University of Minnesota.In the study,he examined information from 100 nations to show what people ate and how diet affected health.Mr.Tilman noted a movement beginning in the 1960s.He found that as na tions industrialized(工业化),population increased and earnings rose.More people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.The Western diet is high in sugar,fat,oil and meat.By eating these foods,people began to get fatter and sicker.
"The food,let us say,in the 15 richest nations of the world,right now contains about 400 or 500 extra calories(热量) a day that are eaten beyond what people need,and that leads people to gain weight."
    David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for diseases like diabetes,heart disease and some cancers.Diabetes is shooting to very high rates in the United States and across Europe.Heart disease is a major cause of death in the Western nations.Unfortunately when people become industrialized,if they adopt this Western diet,they are going to have these same health problems.
    A diet bad for human beings,it seems,is also bad for the environment.As the world's population grows,experts say more forests and areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for raising cattle.These areas will be needed to meet the increasing demand for food.
   Mr.Tilman calls the link between diet,the environment and human health,"a dilemma",a situation where it is very difficult to decide what to do.He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.

A.The world's population will grow faster than ever.
B.People won't care about the environment.
C.There will be fewer and fewer forests.
D.Raising cattle will be the most moneymaking business.
35.What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?D
A.To tell people effective ways to keep healthy.
B.To draw people's attention to environmental protection.

10.Critical Reading
Critical reading applies to non-fiction writing in which the author puts forth a position or seeks to make a statement.Critical reading is active reading.(36)E.Here are the things you should do to be a critical reader.
•Consider the context of what is written.
You may be reading something that was written by an author from a different cultural context than yours.Or,you may be reading something written some time ago in a different time context than yours.(37)G.
•Question opinions made by the author.
Don't accept what is written at face value.(38)C.Look for facts,examples,and statistics that provide support.Also,look to see if the author has involved the work of authorities.
•(39)A.
Assumptions are whatever the author must believe is true in order to propose opinions.However,in many cases,you must read carefully in order to identify any indirect assumption.Once you identify an assumption,you must decide whether or not the assumption is valid.
•Evaluate the sources the author uses.
In doing this,be certain that the sources are credible as well as relevant.(40)D.For example,studies done by Einstein in the early 20th century may not be appropriate if the writer is discussing the current state of knowledge in physics.

A.Analyze assumptions made by the author
B.What is written may very well reflect the author's position
C.Before accepting it,be certain that the author provides abundant support for any view made
D.Look to see that what is written is consistent with what others have written about the subject
E.It involves questioning,evaluating and forming your own ideas about what the author is saying
F.Moreover,if the author is writing about a subject in its current state,be sure that the sources are current
G.In either case,you must take into account any differences between your values and attitudes and the author's.
