Nt all birds sing,but sme species(物种)d it a lt. They sing t prtect their. place and impress pssible mates(配偶). “Why birds sing is relatively well-answered,”says Iris Adam,a behaviral neurscientist at the University f Suthern Denmark. The big questin was:Why d birds sing s ften?
In a new study,Adam and her team members ffer a new explanatin,suggesting that sngbirds may have t sing a lt t give their vcal(声音的)muscles the regular exercise they need t prduce tp-quality sng. These findings culd be related t human vices t. “Anytime yu stp speaking,yu might experience a lss in vcal perfrmance,”said Adam, “sngbirds ne day culd help us imprve hw we train and restre ur wn vices. ”
T figure ut whether the muscles that prduce birdsng require daily exercise,Adam designed a set f experiments n zebra finches.
One f her first experiments was abut taking males at the tp f their game,and cutting ff the cnnectin between their brains and singing muscles. “After tw days,they had lst sme f their perfrmance,”she said. “And after three weeks,they were back t the same level when they were yung and never had sung befre. "
Next. she prevented the birds frm singing fr a week by keeping them in the dark almst arund the clck. After a week,the birds'vcal muscles lst half their strength. When she played it fr a grup f female birds,six ut f nine preferred the sng that came frm a male wh'd been using his singing muscles daily.
Adam's finding is that “sngbirds need t exercise their vcal muscles t prduce tp-perfrmance sng. If they dn't sing,they lse perfrmance,and they get less attractive t females. ”
It's a gd rule t live by,whether yu're a bird r a human—practice makes perfect,at least when it cmes t singing ne's heart ut.

C. They fund his sng less attractive.
D. Nne f them were interested in his sng.

There are thusands f languages in the wrld. But which language is the ldest?Experts use different methds t find ut the age f a language.
Finding the ldest language is a challenging task,accrding t Danny Hieber,an expert in the study f endangered languages. "If we think that mst languages can date back t an riginal human language,all languages are equally ld,”Hieber said. Hwever,it's impssible t find ut such language —the direct ancestr f every language in the wrld. Accrdingly,sme experts believe that the "ldest language"shuld belng t ne with a well-established written recrd.
Many f the earliest recrded examples f writing cme frm languages that used cuneifrm script(楔形文字). Amng these languages are Sumerian and Akkadian,bth dating back at least 4,600 years. Experts have als fund Egyptian hierglyphs(象形字)that date t arund the same histrical perid. These hierglyphs,which can be translated int “He has united the Tw Lands fr his sn,Dual King Peribsen,"are cnsidered the earliest cmplete sentence ever discvered.
Experts generally agree that Sumerian,Akkadian and Egyptian are the ldest languages with a clear written recrd. All three are extinct,meaning that they are n lnger used and d n have any living fllwers which can carry the language t the next generatin.
As fr the ldest language that is still spken,several cmpetitrs appear. Hebrew and Arabic stand ut amng such languages fr having timelines that experts can reasnably find, accrding t Hieber. Althugh these earliest written languages nly date back arund 3,000 years, Hieber said,“bth f them belng t the Afrasiatic language family,whse rts date back t 18,000 t 8,000 B. C. E. ,r abut 20,000 t 10,000 years ag. ”Even with this wide perid f time,it is widely accepted that Afrasiatic is the ldest language family. But the exact pint in time when Hebrew and Arabic separated frm ther Afrasiatic languages is heavily debated amng experts
12. Hw d experts determine the age f a language?
A. By studying its spken dialects. B. By analyzing its basic grammar.
C. By examining its written recrds. D. By cmparing it t ther languages.
13. What is the value f the Egyptian hierglyphs?

B. They belng t the Afrasiatic language.
