After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time
13、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 （声称）as its own. Only he a
14、nd his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your house is 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 wou1d be enough to frighten him away.If so, you
15、have actually frightened 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

19、.DWhat will man be like in the future一in 5, 000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.example. Mantoday. Nowtaller. Fiveexample. Man, even five hundred years ago
20、, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20%
21、 of the brain，s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, which will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact,
22、 we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man，s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time,
23、however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Pe
24、rhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own
