听力原文: How do the birds manage to find their way? There seems to be no single answer: they use many methods. Some we are beginning to understand; and there may be some that depend on abilities we have not yet suspected. Many birds certainly follow major geographical features. Migrants follow recognized land, fly over familiar sea and arrive at their summer homes.
But all birds cannot use such straightforward methods. An Arctic sea bird, for example, has to fly at least 3,000 kilometers across the Antarctic Ocean with no land to guide it. We know that some birds flying at night, navigate by the star for on cloudy nights they tend to get lost.
Day-flying birds may use the sun. If they are to do so, they must have a precise sense of time. Still others appear to be able to use the earth' s magnetic field as a guide. So it seems that many migrating birds must carry in their brains a clock, a compass and the memory of a map.

听力原文: Hi, there. Let me make a brief introduction of the brain first.
The brain tells the other parts of the body what to do. We think with our brain. We understand the world around us with our brain. However, doctors don't know much about how the brain works. Doctors can do many things with other parts of the body.
They can give a person a new heart. They can put an arm back on 'after it has been cut off. It is easy to study some parts of the body. However, it is difficult to know how the brain works. It is most difficult to work on a brain. If the brain is without enough blood for three to five minutes, the brain dies. So when doctors work on the brain, they only have three to five minutes to do their work] Doctors try new things on the brain, but they must be very careful. The brain is the center of those things that make us what we are.

A.They can give a person a new heart.
B.They can give a person a new brain.
C.They can put an arm back on after it has been cut off.
