These homeless cats have brought many happy moments to Michael.Every time they see him，they jump with excitement and kiss him.But unfortunately，his wife left him because he no longer managed his family business and spent nearly 10，000 yuan a month on cat food.Though all the things happened to Michael，he still leaves his home on time every night.

3．Have you ever wondered why birds sing？Maybe you thought that they were just happy.After all，you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time 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 as its own.Only he and his family are welcome there.No other families of the same species are welcome.Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome.If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you，you might shout.Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.
If so，you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight with him.A bird does the same thing.But he expects an outsider almost any time，especially at the nesting（筑巢）seajye.ain.So he is screaming all the time，whether he can see an outsider or not.This screaming is what we call a bird's song，and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language of their own.Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.
（1）What does the underlined word "its" in Para.3 refer to？
A．The area.
B．The other bird.
C．The animal.
D．The family.
（2）How can we describe a bird at the nesting season？
A．He often fights with outsiders.
B．He always watches out for outsiders.
C．He tries to make friends with outsiders.
D．He often expects outsiders to help him.
（3）In what way does the writer explain birds' singing？
A．By comparing birds with human beings.
B．By reporting experiment results.
C．By describing birds' daily life.
D．By telling birds' stories.
（4）What is most of birds' language used to do？
A．To protect their family members.
B．To express their happiness or anger.
C．To greet other birds of the same species.
D．To cause mates to come and set up territories.組卷：1引用：6難度：0.6

The big day came at last.The alarm rang at 6 a.m.The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen.They decided to boil the porridge first.They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast.Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk.Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture.Next，Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan.Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread.The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds.Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread.This time，she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.The next minute，the porridge boiled over and put out the fire.Jenna panicked.Thankfully，Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then she caught the smell of burning.Oh dear!The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
