As skies are filled with millions of migrating birds, European scientists say the seasonal wonder appears to be strange: The fatter the bird, the better it flies.

The results of their study led to a theory opposite to a central one of aerodynamics (空气动力学), which say that the power needed to fly increased with weight.智慧林19604513134

For birds, obviously, the cost of flying with heavy fat is much smaller than we used to think.Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before making their twice-a-year nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic Distance:5,000 kilometers.

Another study in the magazine Nature measured the advantage of flying in an aerodynamic group which allows birds to save energy by flying smoothly and quietly in the lead bird's airstream.

Flying in groups, their heart rates were 14.5 percent lower than flying alone, according to Henri, a French scientist. The findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations.Researchers had thought that thinner, stronger birds would have the best chance to survive.

The first study suggests that building up fat to be burnt as fuel during the migration is worth more than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight.

In the study, researchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body weights during 28 simulated (模拟的)flights. They forced a small amount of special water into the birds' bodies so that they could measure the amount of energy burnt during the flight.

24.A red knot wading bird of 100 grams will probably weigh.         before making its nonstop migrating fight.

A.100 grams   B.120 grams    C.200 grams   D.250 grams

25.During their migrating flight, red knot wading birds can save energy by flying          .

A.alone    B.separately    C.in pairs    D.in groups

26.A_______red knot wading bird has a better chance to survive during its migrating flight.

A.stronger    B.weaker    C.thinner     D.fatter

27.The best title for this passage may probably be          .

A.Birds Fatten Up For Journey          B.Birds Thin Down For Journey

C.How Birds Build Up Fat For Journey    D.How Birds Burn Energy For Journey

C

A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.

The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%-40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that.are related to fatigue.

Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers or pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver's response.

Tiredness is directly related to a driver's response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.

In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver's response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.

The device has been delivered to the department's laboatories for testing. If these tests,scheduled for six months' time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.

28.According to the text, Driver Alert__.

A.aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents

B.has gone through testing at laboratories

C. aims to prevent drivers from sleeping

D.has been on sale for 12 months

29.How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?

A.By sounding a warning.        B.By pressing the steering wheel.

C.By checking the driving time.    D.By touching the wristband.

30.When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert    __.

A.moves more regularly              B.stops working properly

C. sounds more frequently and loudly   D. opens the window for the driver

Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets neglected during the workweek.
