Homing pigeons (信鸽 ) can be taken hundreds of miles from their homes.

27、 When they are let to go to fly again, they find their way home. Because of this special ability to find home, pigeons have been used as messengers for hundreds of years. Today people even breed homing pigeons for racing as a sport. The birds are shipped to some chosen place a few hundred miles away

28、. Then all of them are let to go together. The winner is the bird that gets home first. A good racer can make it home from 500 miles away in a single day. The mystery of the homing pigeon is how it tells direction and how it finds home. The first part seems to be pretty well answered, and we know of

29、 two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Experiments show that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is? Then the pigeons still find their way home. Naturally, people have wondere

30、d whether pigeons might have a built-in compasssomething that would tell them about the direction of the earths magnetic (磁的 ) field. Many different kinds of experiments were done. Heres what the scientists decided after they had made experiments many times. When pigeons can see the sun, they use it

31、 as their main means(手段 )of direction-finding. When they cannot see the sun, they use some special way to sense direction from the earths magnetic field. But how do pigeons know which direction is toward home? What do they use that we would call a map? These are other questions to be answered. 56 Pi

34、it“ refers to _. （ A） the earths magnetic field （ B） the sun （ C） the built-in compass （ D） the special way 59 When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holiday. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list if men wh

35、o would have three-day posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, shining against t

36、he green of a pine. “Where did it come from?“ I asked. “I asked the gate boy to cut it ,“ my mother said, “I wouldnt have one just for myself, but when called-oh, such a rush ! He just brought it in this afternoon.“ Krysal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little disorderly

37、 at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas. “Its not like the one you used to find,“ my mother went on, “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the gate bo

38、y didnt know where to look . But I couldnt be critical.“ “Dont worry,“ I told him, “Its perfect.“ It wasnt of course, but at the moment I realized for the first time: all Christmas tree are perfect. 59 From the passage we can infer that _. （ A） the writer spent his first Christmas during the war （ B

42、o when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decide it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The school and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was

43、all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation. Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 ye

44、ars, are realizing we ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students-“ so passive“-and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to childrens passivity “Were talking about a generation of kids

45、who ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying go and look it up , you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.“ Yes it does. It takes energy and it takes work. Its time for parents to end their vacation and come ba

46、ck to work. Its time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but its for their own good.
