Parrts are prey animals,which means that ther predatrs (捕食者)in the wild,such as hawks r snakes,are lking t make them int a meal.This ne factr influences parrts'behavir in yur huse mre than any ther.
Parrts are mst easily hurt when feeding n the grund;membership in a grup plays an imprtant functin in ensuring their safety and imprving their chances f survival frm attacks by predatrs.The mst cmmn predatrs f parrts include hawks,snakes,cats,mnkeys,and bats.Sme predatrs make attacks nly during the day while thers hunt in thenight.
As prey animals,parrts are cnstantly watching ut fr danger and they instinctively(本能地)react t risks.Their first chice is t take flight.Hwever,if this is nt pssible,they will fight with their pwerful beaks t defend themselves.
Because their biggest enemy is the hawk,parrts are especially reactive t quickmvements frm abve and behind.Fr this reasn,it is wise t avid quick,sudden mvements near yur bird.This is a built-in reactin nt subject t lgic r reasn.Simple and relatively harmless husehld bjects can draw extreme fear respnses frm a bird.Fr example,a balln may represent a hawk r a vacuum hse(吸尘器软管)may be the sameas a snake in yur bird's mind.
As prey animals,parrts are ften frightened by expsure t new husehld items rstrangers.It is imprtant t expse yur bird t safe experiences and changes starting at a very yung age t build flexibility and imprve their adaptability.Variety in diet and tys,travel, and expsure t new peple and places all help t make yur bird mre flexible and adaptablet change.

In his 1936 wrk Hw t Win Friends and Influence Peple,Dale Carnegie wrte:“Ihave cme t the cnclusin that there is nly ne way t get the best f an argument-andthat is t avid it.”This distaste fr arguments is cmmn,but it depends n a mistaken viewf arguments that causes prblems fr ur persnal and scial lives -and in many waysmisses the pint f arguing in the first place.
Carnegie wuld be right if arguments were fights,which is hw we ften think f them. Like physical fights,verbal(言语的)fights can leave bth sides bldied.Even when yu win,yu end up n better ff.Yu wuld be feeling almst as bad if arguments were even just cmpetitins -like,say,tennis turnaments.Pairs f ppnents hit the ball back and frth until ne winner cmes ut frm all wh entered.Everybdy else lses.This kind f thinkingexplains why s many peple try t avid arguments.
Hwever,there are ways t win an argument every time.When yu state yur psitin, frmulate(阐述)an argument fr what yu claim and hnestly ask yurself whether yur argument is any gd.When yu talk with smene wh takes a stand,ask them t give yu a reasn fr their view and spell ut their argument fully.Assess its strength and weakness. Raise bjectins(异议)and listen carefully t their replies.This methd will require effrt,but practice will make yu better at it.
These tls can help yu win every argument -nt in the unhelpful sense f beating yur ppnents but in the better sense f learning abut what divides peple,leaning why they disagree with us and learning t talk and wrk tgether with them.If we readjust ur view f arguments-frm a verbal fight r tennis game t a reasned exchange thrugh which we all gain respect and understanding frm each ther-then we change the very nature fwhat it means t“win”an argument.
28.What is the authr's attitude tward Carnegie's understanding f argument?
A.Uncertain.B.Supprtive.C.Tlerant.D.Critical.
29.Why d many peple try t avid arguments?
A.They lack debating skills.B.They may feel bad even if they win.
C.They fear being ignred.D.They are nt cnfident in themselves.
30.What des the underlined phrase “spell ut”in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A.Defend.B.Explain.C.Cnclude.D.Repeat.
31.What is the key t"winning"an argument accrding t the authr?
A.Sense f lgic.B.Slid supprting evidence.
C. Understanding frm bth sides.D.Prper manners.

Hibernatin (冬眠) is a classic tpic f science fictin. In mvies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, r Passengers, crew members are put int a state f sleep t take year-lng jurneys t space. Nw a new study frm Washingtn University has shwn that human hibernatin may sn becme a reality.
The research team carried ut tests n rats — animals that d nt naturally hibernate. They first identified a grup f neurns (神经元) in a deep brain regin, which were fund t be invlved in cntrlling bdy temperature during hibernatin. They shwed that, in mice, these neurns culd be stimulated using ultrasund (超声波), which was delivered thrugh a helmet withut causing an injury.
When receiving the ultrasund, the mice shwed a drp in bdy temperature f abut3°C, and their heart rates fell by abut 47%. When the ultrasund system was switched ff, they wke up again. The result was “surprising and fascinating”, said Hng Chen, a prfessr wh led the wrk.
Researchers are als trying t determine hw t harness the pwer f hibernatin t help humans. They believe that it culd be key t addressing health cnditins like heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. Furthermre, hibernatin’s ability t slw aging, which was bserved in bats, culd benefit space explratin, enabling lnger missins with less fd requirements. Research in animals als suggests that bdies f hibernating astrnauts might lse less bne and muscle, making them fit and ready t start challenging explratin sn after they wake up.
By unlcking the secrets f this remarkable prcess, researchers may uncver ways t imprve human health, as well as gain new insights int the natural wrld. Therefre, the explratin f hibernatin is an exciting area that is sure t yield numerus benefits in the years t cme.
The scientists nw plan t lk at hw lwered bdy temperature might affect the cgnitive abilities f humans. “Our next experiments will test wrking memry in mnkeys. This is imprtant because while astrnauts physically hibernate as they fly int deep space, their brain still needs t be wrking,” said Chen.
32. Hw did researchers put rats int hibernatin?
A. By lwering their bdy temperature.B. By activating specific brain neurns.
C. By putting a regular helmet n them.D. By using ultrasund thrugh an peratin.
33. What des the underlined wrd “harness” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Emply.B. Challenge.C. Overlk.D. Discver.
34. What advantage might hibernatin bring t humans?
A. It imprves peple’s mental health.B. It predicts a variety f heart diseases.
C. It helps astrnauts keep physically fit.D. It enables astrnauts t build up muscle.
35. What’s the purpse f the last paragraph?
A. T pint ut the significance f the study.
B. T bring ut the fcus f fllw-up studies.
C. T discuss ther factrs affecting hibernatin.
D. T explain practical applicatins f the finding.
