10、rds get lost on their long migratory flights? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now theyre beginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests wi

11、th artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.One such birda warblerhad spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The

12、birds cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction of his flight,Scientists think that warblers, when flyi

13、ng in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their chief means of direction-finding. What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast line, and river courses. But when its too dark to see these,

14、the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their directions.16.

17、sD. are unable to get their directionsPassage TwoWhen Louis Braille was three years old, he became blind in both eyes as the result of an accident in his fathers shop. His father, determined that Louis should not suffer the usual fate of blind persons at that time and become a beggar, kept him in th

18、e village school until he was ten and then entered him in the Institution des Jeunes Aveugles in Paris. Louis learned to read from the three books engraved in large raised letters in the Institution library, did brilliantly well both in academic work and at the piano, and was soon helping to teach t

19、he younger children.In 1819, the same year that Louis entered the Institution, Charles Barbier, an army captain, reported to the Academy of Sciences on a system of raised dots and dashes which enabled soldiers to read messages in the dark. Later, Barbier brought his invention to the Institution. Aft

20、er experimenting with it, young Braille produced a writing system using only dots, from which he gradually devised 63 separate combinations representing the letters in the French alphabet. （at the request of an Englishman, he later added “w”）, accents, punctuation marks, and mathematical signs. Alth

21、ough government prevented immediate official adoption, his system was used at the Institution as long as the director, Dr. Pignier, was in office. The new director insisted on returning to the officially approved former system, but students continued to use Brailles method secretly. Eventually, its

22、superiority was established and it was adopted throughout France.21.Louis Braille first learned to read with the aid of _.A. his fatherB. the village schoolteacherC. special books at the InstitutionD. Captain Barbiers system of dots and dashes22. Louis Braille did all of the following EXCEPT _.A. te

The Institution was not able to adopt Brailles method officially for some time because

25、_.A. the students preferred the former methodB. the students used Brailles method secretlyC. The new director insisted on the official methodD. the superiority of Brailles method had not yet been establishedPassage ThreeMoney spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of. It serves di

26、rectly to assist distribution of goods at reasonable prices, thereby establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at competitive prices. By drawing attention to new ideas, it helps enormously to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand, it ensures a

27、n increased need for labor, and is therefore an effective way to fight unemployment. It lowers the cost of many services: without ads your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your TV license would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or tube would cost fifty percent more.And perhaps most import
