13、Have you ever felt a strong emotion (情绪), but not been able to find the right word to describe it? Maybe there is a word for it, but you just don’t know it yet. One man is trying to help fix this problem. University of East London psychology researcher Tim Lomas is making a list of words from different languages around the world. The words have no exact equivalent(对等的) words or phrases in the English language. Perhaps the most famous example is “schadenfreude”, the German word describing pleasure at the bad luck of others.
Borrowing from as many languages as he could, Lomas searched for “untranslatable” experiences and published them in The Journal of Positive Psychology last year. His study is called the Positive Lexicography Project. Lomas has focused mostly on happy moments. He hopes that learning these words will enrich (使丰富) people’s lives. So now, thanks to the Portuguese(葡萄牙语), when you run your fingers through a loved one’s hair you can call it “cafune”. Or you can use the Spanish word “estrenar” to describe the feeling when you wear or use something for the first time. The Germans describe the good mood at the end of a working day as “feierabend”, while the Norwegians describe the feeling of sitting around a warm fireplace as “peiskos”.
“The limits of our language are said to define the boundaries of our world,” Lomas wrote for The Conversation. “If we lack (缺乏) a word for a particular positive emotion, we are far less likely to experience it.”

A．He borrowed from many languages for his study.

15、Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing 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 animal, considers as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species(物种) 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 frighten 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 him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢) season. 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 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．（小题1）Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually _____________.
A．an expression of happiness B．a way of warning

A．An area which a bird considers to be its own.
B．An area for which birds fight against each other.
C．A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.
D．A place where families of other species are not welcome.
3．（小题3）Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?
A．Because they want to invite more friends.
B．Because they want to find outsiders around.
C．Because they want to express their happiness.
D．Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.
4．（小题4）How does the writer explain birds’ singing?
A．By telling a bird’s story.
B．By describing birds’ daily life.
C．By reporting experiment results.
D．By comparing birds with human beings.

18、 It was nearly seven o'clock, when a man walked into a bar, ordered a drink and turned to watch the television.
The seven o'clock news was on and it was showing a man standing on top of a tall building. He was looking down at the crowd of people below.
On the ground, a police officer with a megaphone(扩音器)was trying to tell him not to jump.
"Let's talk about your problem," the police officer was saying. "Perhaps we can help you."
The man turned to the bartender(酒吧侍者)and said, "I bet you a hundred dollars he doesn't jump.
