Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.
Do you know what a ‘territory’ is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.
If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.

Martin was grown-up, and for his birthday that year his father gave him a 36 without any pictures in it!
Martin’s father found he was not 37 about it, and told him, “Son, this isn’t just any 38 book; it’s a magic (有魔力的) book. But to discover its magic you’ll have to 39 it.”

The next morning, his 42 asked him, “Have you found the magic 43 ? ”
So… there was a key to find! Martin flicked through (快速翻閱) the book, but there was no 44 of the key.
And then his father 45 him, “You won’t find it like that . You have to read the book.”

One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank．There I would 36 the peace and quiet, watch the water rush 37 and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of 38 in the trees．I would also watch the bamboo trees 39 under pressure from the wind and watch them 40 gracefully to their original position after the wind had 41 ．
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to mind．When used in 42 to a person, this word means the ability to readily 43 from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's 44 ．
Have you ever felt like you are at your 45 point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it．
During the 46 you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health．You felt emotionally drained（枯竭）, 47 exhausted and you most likely stood 48 physical symptoms．
Life is a 49 of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments．The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy 50 that take you close to your breaking point, bend, 51 don't break．Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you．
A measure of hope will take you 52 the unpleasant ordeal （考驗）．With 53 for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be．The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to 54 if the final result is worth having．
If life gets 55 and you are at your breaking point, show resilience．Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!
