After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time

13、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 a

14、nd his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your house is your territory where only your family and friends are welcome.

15、have actually frightened 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.

19、.DWhat will man be like in the future一in 5, 000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.example. Mantoday. Nowtaller. Fiveexample. Man, even five hundred years ago

20、, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20%

21、 of the brain，s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones!

This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Pe
