21.根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答題：Homing pigeons are placed in a training program from about the time they are twenty。Eight days of age．They are taught to enter the lon through a trap and to exercise above and around the loft．a(chǎn)nd graduaUy they are taken away for short distances in wicker baskets and released．They are then expected to find their way home in the shortest possible time． In their training flights or in actual races，the birds are taken to prearranged distant point sand released to find their way back to their own logs．Once the birds are liberated，their owners，who are standing by at the home lofts，anxiously watch the sky for the return of their entries．Since time is of the essence，the speed with which the birds can be induced to enter the loft trap may make the difference between gaining a win or a second place． The head of a homing pigeon is comparatively small，but its brain is one quarter large than that of the ordinary pigeon．The homing pigeon is very intelligent and will persevere to the point of stubbornness；some have been known to fly a hundred miles off course to avoid a storm． Some homing pigeon experts claim that this bird is gifted with a form. of built-in radar that helps it find its own loft ager hours of flight，for hidden under the head feathers are two very sensitive ears，while the sharp，prominent eyes can see great distances in daytime． Why do homing pigeons fly homeg They are not unique in this inherent skill；it is found in most migratory birds，in bees，ants，toads，and even turtles，which have been known to travel hundreds of miles to return to their homes．But in the animal world，the homing pigeon can be trusted with its freedom and trained to carry out the missions that people demand．

31.根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答題：How men first learned to invent words is unknown；in other words，the origin of language is a mystery．All we really know is that men，unlike animals，somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，SO that they could communicate with each other；and that later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be combined to represent those sounds，and which coul d be written down．Those sounds，whether spoken，or written in letters we call words． The power of words，then，lies in their combinationsmthe things they bring up before our minds．Words become filled with meaning for US by experience；and the longer we live，the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，the more the number of words that mean something to us increases．Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts，but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings．This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style．Above all，the real poet is a master of words．He can con-vey his meaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move men to tears．We should therefore leam to choose our words carefully and use them accurately or they will make our speech silly and rude．
