　　Although my father wasn’t a doctor, he made his own brand of “house calls”. I followed him as he brought a plate of my mother’s home cooking to an elderly man named Frank on all major holidays, and when Frank was sick. As far as I know, their only connection was that Frank was an occasional customer at Dad’s small gas station. Frank’s home was a two-room house on the rough side of town with a rotten front porch（门廊） that you could fall through if you weren’t careful. Through his caring attitude, my father was teaching me to be a doctor, although neither of us knew it at the time.

　　When I was 13, my father developed lung cancer. He brought home a diagram (图表) the doctor drew showing where his cancer was and told me that he was going to die.

　　The big green oxygen tank with plastic tubing became a central feature of our living room next to his easy chair. Several months passed and his condition worsened. He asked me to take care of my mother when he was gone. He said, “I love you, son.” That night he died.

　　When you’re 13 and your father dies, you have some choices to make. You can use the circumstance as an excuse for letting your behavior and grades go down the drain, or you can honor his memory and try to do something positive with yourself. I focused my energy on my school work and my goal of becoming a doctor.

　　It’s food scarcity (短缺), not dietary preferences, that motivates birds to migrate thousands of miles back and forth between breeding and non-breeding areas each year, new research shows.

　　“It’s not whether you eat insects, fruit, nectar or candy bars or where you eat them — it matters how reliable that food source is,” said study leader W. Alice Boyle of the University of Arizona.

　　To figure out the pressures that drive some birds to leave home for the season, Boyle examined 379 related species of flycatchers and compared their sizes, food types, habitats, migratory behaviors and whether or not they fed in flocks.

　　To compare the birds, the researchers constructed a “supertree” showing the exact evolutionary （演化的） relationships among different species.

　　A computer analysis then determined whether a particular species was migratory because it ran in the “family” or whether something in the bird’s environment was forcing it to leave each season.

　　Boyle and her colleagues found that food scarcity was the number one issue that predicted a species’ migratory behavior.

　　An alternative strategy that birds use to deal with food scarcity is to forage (四处搜寻) in flocks, because a group is more likely to find a new source of food than a lone individual.

　　“If you are faced with food scarcity, you have two options,” Boyle said. “You can either forage with other birds, or you can migrate.”

　　51. The passage mainly tells us ________.

　　A. the real reason for birds’ migration

　　B. food scarcity that birds face today

　　D. when birds migrate

　　A. they want to search for the food they like

　　B. they can find more food in a different place

　　C. they can breed their young in a different place

　　D. the weather turns too cold

　　53. The researchers constructed a “supertree” mainly to ________.

　　A. compare the sizes of different birds

　　B. make out the relationships between different birds

　　C. find out what causes birds to leave each season

　　D. predict when the birds were migratory

　　54. Which of the following is true?

　　A. All birds fly to non-breeding areas each year.

　　B. There are 379 species of birds migrating.

　　C. Two related species have the same behavior.

　　D. Computers are used in the research work.

　　55. The passage suggests that ________.

　　A. different kinds of birds have different ways to migrate

　　B. different kinds of birds migrate for various reasons

　　C. some birds can survive without migrating each season

　　D. birds’ food sources are becoming rare all over the world
