13、d why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy.

20、an be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of t

21、ime, so we may believe that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity (能力). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larg

22、er ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change till the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.
