　　Have you ever wondered why birds sing?Maybe you thought that they were just happy．After all, you probably also 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(宣稱)as its own．Only he and his family are welcome there．No other families of the same species(物種)are welcome．Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome．(2)If a stranger should enter your territory and want to hurt you, you might shout．Probably this would be enough to frighten him away．

　　If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him．(4)一只鳥(niǎo)也將會(huì)做同樣的事．But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢)season．So he is screaming(尖叫)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 spring when they are trying to attract a mate(同伴)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．

World Book Day falls on April 23 every year. It was set up by the UNESCO(聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織) in 1995 to encourage people, especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure of reading. It is also the day to honor great writer, for example, William Shakespeare, born or dead on that day.

Many countries celebrate World Book Day. Take UK as an example. On that day, millions of school children can buy books of special price, a much lower price than usual, in any bookstore. It has been done every year since 1998. World Book Day is also celebrated in China. Premier Wen Jiabao does lots of reading every day. Wen has called on people to do more reading. He suggested that young people should spend more time reading. “Book cannot change the world, but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading,” he said.

Why do people like reading? One big advantage is that reading helps us become more knowledgeable and more intelligent. Also, reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology. Besides, reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that are unfamiliar to us. We would have to use our brain to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. What’s more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English.

“Reading makes a full man”. Books, magazines, newspapers and other kinds of materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us. So it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day.

1.When is World Book Day?

2.In UK, what can school children do on World Book Day?

3.What did Premier Wen Jiabao suggest young people do?

4.How many advantages of reading are mentioned in the passage?

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?
