No one mentioned this during dinner, but I felt compelled to discuss it with my motherafterward.We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.Mom phoned me two days later.“ The doctor found a brain tumor (肿瘤） It， s too large at thispoint to operate.

The bird has manyattributes (特性)which allow it to be kept at home，though there are also a few negative aspects. Theattributes are nest-building ，breeding and a livelyattitude. The potential negatives are over- breeding andthe wildness of the birds.One of the mainattributes of zebra finches is theirability to breed. They are the rabbits of the domestic birdworld. Once you have two birds, male and female, youwill soon have six, as they breed quite easily and havestrong babies, usually four at a time. An added attribute istheir ability to build their own nests. You can placebranch in their place along with some kind of structure, and they will create a nest on their own.Its very pleasant to see the ways males and females divide some labors and share others, and thebabies grow up quickly. Overall, zebra finches are energetic birds, and they can make every placewhere they live delightful lives.On the negative side, they will breed and in-breed. Often, in-breeding does little harm and doesnot cause genetic defects (缺陷） ，as happens more often in other species. However, no one cantolerate just any population level. One has to either remove their nestsaltogether, which basically removes their personal living place, or check for eggs regularly once aweek (the gestation period 妊娠期 is 13 days, so even a one-week neglect can lead to births).Eggs can be replaced with false plastic eggs，and this prevents females from laying too many. Ifthey do lay too many, they will die from mineral loss. Since these birds do not tame well,removing eggs can be an unpleasant process of repeatedly invading their personal space.Overall, it is unfortunate that zebra finches are inexpensive birds due to their high level ofbreeding. They require considerable care to live happy lives. The best care-takers are true avianfanciers people who have appropriate space for the nests and enough time to allow them tonest-build and breed without over-breeding.28. What is the passage mainly about?A.Zebra finches over-breed by nature and its consequent ill effects.B.Only people who love birds can take care of Zebra finches.C.Domestic zebra finches require a lot of care to live happy lives.D.Zebra finches never become completely tame.29.

At thetime of the Lewis and Clark expedition (远征队） ，which was one of the first journeys byAmericans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again, the Nez Perce territory (领土）covered about 17 million acres, covering parts of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. But thatwas a brief sweet history.In September 1805，when Lewis and Clark came off the Rockies on their westward journey, theentire exploring party was hungry and ill too weakto defend themselves.Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them, theycould have put anend to the LewisandClark expedition there on the banks of Clearwater River. Instead the Nez Perce welcomed thewhite Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery. Thus began a longfriendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans. But white men s greed for land and goldfinally broke the friendship.In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens of Washington Territory invited the Nez Perce to a peaceconference. He said there were a great many white people in the country, and many more wouldcome. But the chief of the tribe at that time, Old Joseph, replied, “Take away your paper. I will nottouch it with my hand. ”Things were quiet for a while after that，butnot for long.When Old Joseph died，thechiefship was passed onto Young Joseph. In the late 1870s， government officials came to order theNez Perce to leave the Wallowa Valley and then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and thewhite soldiers. After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1 ,600 miles towards Canadain an attempt to retreat (撤退)north, Young Joseph, gave in to the United States Army. Here washis famous statement, “Hear me my chiefs. I am tired ； my heart is sick and sad. Fromwhere the sun now stands I will fight no more forever. ”In 1885，chief joseph was sent along with mang of his band to the Colville ReservationinWashington where Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years, at times coming intoconflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reservation31.
