32、bra finch， a native of Australia， is a popular domestic pet in the United States. The bird has many attributes (特性 )which allow it to be kept at home，though there are also a few negative aspects. The attributes are nest-building， breeding and a lively attitude. The potential negatives are over- bree
33、ding and the wildness of the birds. One of the main attributes of zebra finches is their ability to breed. They are the rabbits of the domestic bird world. Once you have two birds, male and female, you will soon have six, as they breed quite easily and have strong babies, usually four at a time. An
34、added attribute is their ability to build their own nests. You can place branch in their place along with some kind of structure, and they will create a nest on their own. Its very pleasant to see the ways males and females divide some labors and share others, and the babies grow up quickly. Overall
35、, zebra finches are energetic birds, and they can make every place where they live delightful lives. On the negative side, they will breed and in-breed. Often, in-breeding does little harm and does not cause genetic defects (缺陷）， as happens more often in other species. However, no one can tolerate j
36、ust any population level. One has to either remove their nests altogether, which basically removes their personal living place, or check for eggs regularly once a week (the gestation period 妊娠期 is 13 days, so even a one-week neglect can lead to births). Eggs can be replaced with false plastic eggs，
37、and this prevents females from laying too many. If they do lay too many, they will die from mineral loss. Since these birds do not tame well, removing eggs can be an unpleasant process of repeatedly invading their personal space. Overall, it is unfortunate that zebra finches are inexpensive birds du
38、e to their high level of breeding. They require considerable care to live happy lives. The best care-takers are true avian fanciers people who have appropriate space for the nests and enough time to allow them to nest-build and breed without over-breeding. 28. What is the passage mainly about? A. Ze
39、bra finches over-breed by nature and its consequent ill effects. B. Only people who love birds can take care of Zebra finches. C. Domestic zebra finches require a lot of care to live happy lives. D. Zebra finches never become completely tame. 29. By saying “ They are the rabbits of the domestic bird

42、ribe that lived in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. At the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition (远征队）， which was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again, the Nez Perce territory (领土） covered about 17 million acres, covering part
43、s of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. But that was a brief sweet history. In September 1805， when Lewis and Clark came off the Rockies on their westward journey, the entire exploring party was hungry and ill too weak to defend themselves. Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them, they could have put an
44、 end to the Lewis and Clark expedition there on the banks of Clearwater River. Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery. Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans. But white men s greed for land and gold fin
45、ally broke the friendship. In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens of Washington Territory invited the Nez Perce to a peace conference. He said there were a great many white people in the country, and many more would come. But the chief of the tribe at that time, Old Joseph, replied, “Take away your paper. I
46、 will not touch it with my hand. ” Things were quiet for a while after that， but not for long. When Old Joseph died， the chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph. In the late 1870s， government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave the Wallowa Valley and then began hard battles between the Nez
47、 Perce and the white soldiers. After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1 ,600 miles towards Canada in an attempt to retreat (撤退 )north, Young Joseph, gave in to the United States Army. Here was his famous statement, “ Hear me my chiefs. I am tired ； my heart is sick and sad. From where
48、 the sun now stands I will fight no more forever. ” In 1885， chief joseph was sent along with mang of his band to the Colville Reservation in Washington where Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years, at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reser
