As the kids grew older, I worried about headaches, throat infections and many other 23   childhood illnesses．I didn't like it when the boys spent time "warming the bench （板凳）" during Little League football games．I worried about Becky when she   24   the ball while playing softball．Before long, the teen years were upon us．I stayed   25   late t night waiting for the boys to return home．Many times the  26  crossed my mind that I would call the police if they weren't home on time．_27_, they always arrived home safe and sound  28  I had to take such measures．

"Get out of the plane!" Justin shouted．Teddy and he dropped to the ground,．．．

When Kathy and Victor reached the edge of the meadow （牧场）flames of the fire were shooting more than five meters into the air．

Kathy couldn't believe what she was seeing．One glance told her they needed medical attention immediately．She questioned Victor, "Are you able to find someone nearby for help?"

"There are no farmers, nor villagers nearby," he replied．

"I'm a distance runner, and I'll go for help．" Looking at the seriously injured men, Kathy said to Victor, "It may take me several hours to get out．" She started out．

When she was 23, Kathy set a women's record in a Marathon of 42 kilometers．But now she was running the race of life．She had nearly 30 kilometers of hard wilderness to cover to get help．

Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy．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．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 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 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's screaming （高声尖叫） 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 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 something to do with attracting mates and setting up territories．

3.Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?

A．Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away．

B．Because their singing helps get rid of their fears．

C．Because they want to find outsiders around．

D．Because they want to invite more bird friends．

4.How does the writer explain birds' singing?

A．By comparing birds with human beings．            B．By reporting experimental results．

C．By describing birds'daily life．                    D．By telling a bird's story．

With five breakout （破纪录的） games, Jeremy Lin has become the NBA's newest star．

In the New York Knicks' 92-85 won over the Los Angles Lakers last Saturday, Lin had a career-high 38 points．A day later, he led the Knicks to their fifth victory, 100-98 to Minnesota Timberwolves．In his previous games, Lin, 23, had 23 points against the Washington, 25 points against New Jersey and 28 against Utah in his first start．

He is really perfect for the Knicks．The New York Knicks has been in need of a reliable point guard and to Mike D'Antoni, the Knicks coach who's going through a difficult season, Lin is a most unexpected figure．"Lin just does everything easy and the rest of the guys around him are playing the way we want to," D'Antoni said．"I think it's for real, and it can only get better．"

It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one.

         When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and cause a block in it. You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.

         Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms (症状) of colds.

         There is one interesting thing to note —some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:

         It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don’t take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.
