As a daughter, she has no secrets from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But recently she has become somewhat mysterious, and not so open as before. She has a diary that she keeps under lock and key. Her mother cannot help worrying about her: what if she falls in love, which is too early for a girl of her age. After all she is reaching the “dangerous stage”. These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother’s mind.One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late. This was the first time her mother agreed, and she couldn’t help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine and her uneasiness got the upper heart over her. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing had happened. “Mum, I’m back.”“Yeah”“Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?”“Yes, oh, that … Who’s that boy?” The daughter was stunned for a moment. “Ah. It’s my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I’m going to bed.”“All right. Go to sleep early.”Next morning when the mother went to the daughter’s room to do some tidying, she foundher diary left at her pillow. After a few minutes’ hesitation she eventually opened it to the entry of the night before. It reads: Mum, it’s love that made you ask, but it would show your understanding of me if you hadn’t. Holding the diary, the mother fell into thought.34.

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（声称）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. 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 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 and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language all their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.37. S ome scientists believe that most of the time birds’ singing is actually____.A. an expression of happinessB. a way of warningC. an expression of angerD. a way of greeting38. What is a bird’s “territory”?A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C. An area for which birds fight against each other.D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.39. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A. Because they want to invite more friends.B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.C. Because they want to find outsiders around.D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.40. How does the writer explain birds’ singing?A. By comparing birds with human beings.B. By reporting experiment results.C. By describ ing birds’ daily life.D. By telling a bird’s story.DInfluenced by their families and society, many youths are infatuated with expensive famous brands.
