听力原文：An "early bird" used to be a person who was awake early and began his（or her) day

听力原文： An "early bird" used to be a person who was awake early and began his(or her) day's work before other people. The people, who said it, were thinking of an old saying: It is the early bird that catches the worm. But since 1965 the Early Bird has had a different meaning. The modem Early Bird is a communications satellite in orbit round the earth.

The use of wires to carry telephone communications and for other purposes of the same kind does not satisfy modem needs. We had to use radio. But the radio waves that we use for these purposes--microwaves--travel in straight lines. They do not follow the curve of the earth's surface. We can send them from one radio station to another—a relay station--where we amplify them and send them do a third station. If there is no relay station within about 50 kilometers to receive the microwaves, they will continue into space. At a certain height, some of them are sent back to earth. A powerful station several hundred kilometers from their starting point can receive them. But these are not good ways of sending the thousands of telephone, radio and television signals across the oceans.

A．A person who is awake early.

B．A bird that catches the worm early in the morning.

C．A plane which flies in the morning.

D．A communications satellite in orbit round the earth.

听力原文： Many egg-laying animals merely lay their eggs and leave. Turtles, for instance, and horseshoe crabs, the eggs hatched and the little ones are their own. The current theory about birds is the earliest birds did just that when they were cold-blooded creatures living in warm places. However, when they became warm-blooded creatures living in cold places, they had to remain on the eggs to keep them warm. For this, they needed a place--a nest. Very likely, the first nest was just a primitive hole scraped in the ground. Even now many species still lay eggs in this sort of crude nest. Primitive nests found on the ground were fine for some birds, but others began to elevate their nests in branches, perhaps to avoid predators. These early elevated nests were probably loose platforms of sticks and dried leaves. The type is still built by some birds today. The latest development in nest, the most recent vision, so to speak, is the cup-shaped nest. This is the one we regard today as the typical bird's nest, you know, like a robin's nest.

A．Their flying ability improved greatly.
