Little birds talk with their sisters and brothers in their nest. They make a sound for food. Mum tells them to be quiet when danger comes. But now a new study finds that kind of talk begins long before the babies are born. Even in the eggs, they can talk with each other and know when to get out or when to keep waiting.
To check that finding, a team of scientists from Spain watched unborn birds carefully in Salvora Island. Over there, sea birds produce eggs and minks (貂) eat baby birds. So it is quite a dangerous place for baby birds. Knowing when to come out of the egg is a matter of life and death.
Scientists collected sea bird eggs and put them into two groups. When minks come, a parent will give warning calls to the baby birds. Scientists played those calls for one group. While the other group stayed in a safe box. They would never hear such calls.
When scientists put all the eggs together, they found something surprising: after receiving warning calls, the eggs vibrated more than the others. Those vibrations moved from one egg to another. It was just like there were ears in the eggs. It was clear that unborn birds talked with their sisters and brothers about danger.
44. This passage is mainly about _______.
A. a magic egg B. a wild animal
C. a new study D. a huge box
45. Scientists watched unborn birds in Salvora Island because they wanted to _______.
A. check when birds begin talking B. protect the sea birds in danger
C. take photos of beautiful sea birds D. know when birds get out of eggs
46. How did scientists do their research?
① collected bird eggs ② played warning calls ③ put eggs together ④ put eggs in group
A. ①→②→③→④ B. ①→④→②→③
C. ②→①→④→③ D. ②→①→③→④
47. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Birds in Danger B. Love from Eggs
C. Talk in the Eggs D. Nature for Birds
C
Mrs. Rachel Lynde was a curious woman. She knew everything about Avonlea. Mrs. Rachel lived in a part of Avonlea called Lynde's Hollow. She saw everyone coming into town and everyone going out. Mrs. Rachel was more curious than most people but she was also very helpful.
Today she was very curious about Matthew Cuthbert. Matthew was dressed in his best clothes and he was driving his horse and buggy past her house.

Mrs. Rachel knocked on the kitchen door and went into the house. The kitchen at Green Gables was a nice room but it was too tidy. Marilla Cuthbert was in her chair knitting and the table behind her was set for supper. There were three plates on the table. Mrs. Rachel was very confused.
“Good evening Rachel,” Marilla said kindly. “Come in and sit down. How is your family?”
Marilla was a tall, thin woman. She had dark hair that she always wore in a bun. She looked like a severe woman but her mouth was soft. Maybe she laughed sometimes. The women were very different but they were friends.
“We're all quite well,” said Mrs. Rachel.“But I thought that you weren't well because I saw Matthew leaving today. Was he going to the doctor's?”
Marilla replied patiently,“Oh, no, we're quite well. Matthew went to Bright River. We’re getting a little boy from an orphanage（孤儿院）in Nova Scotia and he's coming on the train tonight.”
Mrs. Rachel was so shocked that she was unable to speak for five seconds.
