17、gers for 500 years, because of their special ability to find home. The mystery of the homing pigeon is on how it navigates and how it finds home. We now know that there are two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Just getting rough directions from the sun is easy. However, ge

18、tting accurate directions from the sun takes more care. To tell direction accurately from the sun, one needs to know the exact time. All plants and animals seem to have built-in clocks. Usually these biological clocks are not quite exact in measuring time. However, they work pretty well, because the

19、y are “reset” every day, maybe when the sun gets up. Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction from the sun? We can experiment to find out. We can keep pigeons in a room lighted only by lamps. And we can time the lighting to make their artificial “days” start at some differe

20、nt time from the real outside day. After a while we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of them start out as if they know just which way to go, but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the pos

21、ition of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks. The above experiment shows 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? The pigeons still find their way home. So it seems that p

22、igeons also have some extra sense of direction from the earths magnetic field when they cannot see the sun. 1. Pigeons have been used as messengers, for they have special ability _B_.

25、assage 2 The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, High school English teachers are not doing their jobs. He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 l

26、evel. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established. My topic is not standards nor its decline (降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like

27、a mature adult. My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the

28、 target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack. The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that t

29、heir own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate. Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to todays young people, it naturally follows that todays
