Biologists Slagsvold and Wiebe have spent years studying tits, flycatchers, and other birds that lay their eggs into holes in trees, walls and even human-made boxes. "Holes are rare, so there's great competition," Wiebe said. Birds will sometimes get into fights. Even after a bird gets a hole, it has to watch out: There's always a chance that a passerby tries to possess it. Owners don't have many options to wait for and stop thieves. Some police their nest's entrance hole, but preparing for parenthood is hungry work, and eventually the birds have to leave to get food. So Slagsvold and Wiebe started to look for alternative home-defense systems the birds might be using.
They noticed feathers, usually helping animals keep warm, but that doesn't seem to be how these particular birds are using them. Blue tits, for instance, get feathers on top of the nest, rather than putting them in. Some other birds dump feathers into holes before gathering other materials. "They're white, and often noticeable," Wiebe said,"as if the birds want to send a message."
To find out, they built nest boxes—some feathery, some not — in Europe and America, and recorded how tits, flycatchers and swallows reacted. The birds entered feather-free boxes quickly. But they froze at the sight of white feathers, sometimes hesitating outside for an hour. Black feathers scared them less, perhaps because they were harder to see. The feathers didn't stop the birds as most eventually went inside. But even a brief delay can make a huge difference, Wiebe said. "Even 20 minutes can give the owner enough time to circle back, and fight off their competitors."
The birds' behavior shows their high-risk lifestyle. They have to think twice as the holes may be hiding danger. The feathers represent possible violence, showing a predator might be inside.
The experiment reflects the lies animals tell where nest sites are rare. They build a scene so horrible to discourage nest stealers. Birds are terrified of death. And they can exploit that reality to safeguard what's theirs.
24. What inspired Slagsvold and Wiebe to seek birds' other possible ways to protect homes
A. Birds have to fight to get the limited holes.
B. Birds get tired from watching out in nests.
C. Birds face many nest stealers on their own.
D. Birds leave their nests unattended sometimes.
25. What is the function of white feathers outside the nests
A. To show a friendly welcome.
B. To help stealers avoid danger.
C. To buy time for the nest owners.
D. To confirm this place is occupied.
26. How does the author feel about the birds' reaction in the experiment
A. Understandable. B. Confusing. C. Possible. D. Worrying.
27. What's the best title for the text
A. Some birds refuse to build their nests
B. It's important for birds to have feathers
C. High risks of life lead birds to turn to lies
D. Birds create a false scene to protect their nests

He dragged his captive（俘虏） into a hall and up many long stairways in a dark building. The dog made willing efforts, but he could not walk very skillfully up the stairs because he was very small and soft, and at last the pace of the child grew so energetic that the dog became panic-stricken. In his mind, he was being dragged toward somewhere unknown. His eyes grew wild with the terror of it. He began to wiggle his head wildly and to brace his legs.
The child redoubled his efforts. They had a battle on the stairs. The child was victorious because he was completely absorbed in his purpose, and because the dog was very small. He dragged his acquirement to the door of his home, and finally with victory across the doorway.
No family member was in. The child sat down on the floor and behaved in a friendly way towards the dog. These the dog instantly accepted. He smiled with affection for his new friend. In a short time they were firm and abiding（矢志不渝的） comrades.

Some people hold the idea that being starving is the most effective way of losing body fat. Remember, if we go on a starvation diet, we lose weight but not much fat. In starvation mode, we use up our energy stores of carbohydrate（碳水化合物） first (in the form of a substance called glycogen). However, the body can store only a little glycogen, and this is used up within two days. Then we start breaking down fat and protein. But we can't afford to lose body proteins: our muscle mass decreases, we become noticeably weaker, and our immunity is threatened because the lack of protective immunoglobulin proteins（保护性免疫球蛋白） means we are subject to an increased risk of infection.
Sure, we look slimmer, and we certainly weigh less, but we are weaker and becoming unhealthy. There is no point in dieting if it's going to make us ill. And, of course, because we need our muscles, when we are even slightly distracted from the diet, our bodies immediately rebuild muscle and we regain all of the 'lost' weight very quickly. Not only have we gone through a period of reduced immunity and a lack of proteins, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and other essential nutrients, there is evidence that so-called immediately effective dieting is detrimental to health in the longer term.
Quite simply, we are going to virtually eliminate all refined（精制的） carbohydrates and sugars(which are also carbohydrates), leaving us with a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet. On this diet, you will be cutting out virtually all refined carbohydrates so that body fat is burned with priority, to provide energy. Sugar, white flour, cakes, bread, pasta and rice are the usual trouble-makers. These foods have very little nutritional value and, what's more, can cause medical and fat problems. Of course, there are forms of these carbohydrates—such as wholemeal rice, wholemeal bread and wholemeal pastas—that do have nutritional benefits and which you can reintroduce later, but in the initial stage of the diet, you have to reduce all carbohydrates, to switch on the fat-burning mechanism.
One point to be aware of is that refined carbohydrates can appear in many unexpected sources. You probably know that bread, cakes, biscuits, potato crisps and fried potato chips all contain refined carbohydrates, but pasta, rice, most breakfast cereals, most tinned foods, many pre-packaged foods, and prepared sauces do as well... In fact the list goes on and on. Virtually all ‘fast foods' contain very high proportion of refined carbohydrates and if your diet is high inrefined carbohydrates, you will definitely put on weight. If you're worried that by cutting out refined carbohydrates you'll have virtually no foods left to choose from, fear not. In fact, high-protein and nutritious foods such as meat, fish, shellfish and eggs are all open to you, along with vegetables, cheese, spices and herbs, from which you can easily produce delicious, healthy and quick meals. You'll be relieved to hear that you don’t have to live on a diet of lettuce and tomato. On the contrary, you will be eating virtually limitless; quantities of very tasty food with delicious sauces and dressings: in other words, real food!
32. What do you know about people following a starvation diet
A. They are more likely to develop diseases.
B. They run the risk of immediate health problems.
C. Their fat and protein will be burnt prior to carbohydrates.
D. Their appetite will be spoiled gradually.
33. What's the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2
A. Damaging. B. Insignificant. C. Unpredictable. D. Constructive.
34. What can you learn about the carbohydrates in a high protein diet
A. They are banned although considered beneficial.
B. They are used as a primary source of energy.
C. They can be consumed only under certain circumstances.
D. Carbohydrates foster the consumption of sugary food.
35. What can you do if you follow the new high protein diet
A. You can become less muscular and athletic.
B. You should only eat meat, fish, shellfish and eggs.
C. You should monitor all the protein you take in.
D. You can have and make delicious dishes.

I had a trip to New Mexico last year, a trip I still remember very well to this day. I went to a place called Philmont and attended a summer camp. There were thirteen people including me. The entire 10-day hike we took through those mountain s went well, except for the second day, because of the terrible weather.
It had been a nice sunny day up until we were halfway to the camp we were staying at that night. Then without a word it started raining gently. There was nothing too bad and certainly nothing we couldn't handle. We put our raincoats on and continued on our way. It stayed raining slightly for a while, so I decided it would be a good idea to say, "Well, it can't be much worse than this, right " And in less than five seconds the thunder crashed around us. It almost sounded like a laugh, as if it was laughing at us. Then the rain started to come down harder, and then, the hail（冰雹） came.
Getting hit with balls of ice in the middle of the New Mexico mountains was not something I had ever thought would happen to us, but here we were. All thirteen of us were wishing at that moment that we could go home. But we quickly abandoned the idea. It was freezing, and my feet
