·亚当对鸟唱歌的研究
Not all birds sing,but several thousand
species do.They sing to defend their territory
and croon(低吟)to impress potential mates.
"Why birds sing is relatively well-answered,"
says Iris Adam,a behavioral neuroscientist.
However,the big question for her was why birds
sing so much.
"As soon as you sing,you reveal
yourself,”Adam says.“Like,where you are
and where your territory is."In a new study
published in the journal Nature Communications,
Adam and her co-workers offer a new
explanation for why birds take that risk.They
may have to sing a lot every day to give their
vocal(发声的)muscles the regular exercise
they need to produce top-quality songs.To
figure out whether the muscles that produce
birdsongs require daily exercise,Adam designed
an experiment on zebra finches-the little
Australian songbirds.
She prevented them from singing for a week
by keeping them in the dark cage almost around
the clock.Light is what galvanizes the birds to
sing,so she had to work to keep them from
warbling(鸣叫).“The first two or three days,
it's quite easy,”she says..“But the longer the
experiment goes,the more they are like,I
need to sing.’”At that point,she'd tap the
cage and tell them to stop singing.
After a week,the birds'singing muscles
lost half their strength.But Adam wondered
whether that impacted the quality of songs.
When she played a male's song before and after
seven days of darkness,she couldn't hear a
difference.But when Adam played it to a group

of female birds,six out of nine preferred the
song that came from a male who'd been using his
singing muscles daily.
Adam's conclusion shows that "songbirds
need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce
top-performance songs.If they don't sing,they
lose performance,and their songs get less
attractive to females.This may help explain
songbirds'continuous singing.
It's a good rule to live by,whether you're a
bird or a human-practice makes perfect,at
least when it comes to singing one's heart out.
1.According to Iris Adam,birds sing so much to

2.What does the underlined word“galvanizes”
in paragraph 3 mean?

3.What do we know about the caged birds in the
experiment?
A.They lost the ability to sing.
B.They strengthened their muscles.
C.Their songs showed no difference.
D.Their songs became less appealing.
4.What may Iris Adam agree with?

策略
If you're an aspiring director that wants to
start a successful film career,you should start
by creating your first short film.While it can
seem like a daunting task at first,with the
proper strategies,creating a short movie is just a
matter of having good ideas and utilizing common
filming techniques.
Think of an idea for a short film.1
Focus on one core idea so that the short story
isn't overly complicated.Consider what kind of
tone you want for the film and whether it will be
a horror,drama,or experimental movie.
2 If you don't want to write your own
script,you can search online for scripts that
other people have already written.If you plan on
shooting your short film to make a profit,make
sure to reach out to the screenwriter to get their
permission to use it.Some screenwriters will sell
you their script for a fee.
Look for locations.Find locations to match
the script.Ask small businesses and shops if
you can use their locations for a short film.If
the film takes place indoors,you may be able to
use your own apartment or house.If the shoot is
happening outdoors,find a safe and legal place
to film.3
Rehearse the scene.Once the actors get
onto the set,have them go through a basic
reading of the script.Then,have the actors act
out the scene.As they go through the scene,tell
the actors what you want them to do,how to
interact with the environment,and let them
know of any modifications that you want to see in
their acting.4 The read through of the
script can be done anywhere,but you should try
to do the blocking on set.
In addition,if the actors have to wear a
cultural or religious piece,be sure to study it.
Don't just throw the piece on.5 If you are
on a tight budget,you can have the actors
provide outfits from their own wardrobes,but
make sure that what they find meets your vision.
A.Search for scripts online.
B.Be as accurate as possible.
—8
C.Do a rough cut of the scenes.
D.This process is known as "blocking the
scene'”.
E.Select filming equipment that meets your
needs.
F.Think of a short story that you want to
tell in under 10 minutes.
G.Getting permits to shoot on private or
public property can sometimes be very
expensive.
