Bird Language

Trying to understand the words

Uttered on all sides by birds,

I recognise in what I hear

Noises that betoken fear.

Though some of them, I’m certain, must

Stand for rage, bravado, lust,

All other notes that birds employ

TEXT B:

Study Says Chocolate Is Good For You

1

Chocolate is no longer a guilty pleasure, in fact it is good for you - apparently lowering blood pressure and cutting the risk of heart attacks and strokes. An extensive study by German nutritionists has produced results many chocoholics have been dreaming of for years.

2

They monitored more than 19,000 people and their chocolate consumption over a decade, finding those who ate the most got the greatest benefit. The experts found eating 7.5 grams of dark chocolate could reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke by 39% and could also lead to lower blood pressure. […]

3

The nutritionists found dark chocolate produced the best results when it contains at least 70% cocoa. […] This was a really interesting study and it found that a very small amount of chocolate actually reduced your blood pressure and your risk of heart disease. […]

4

The problem now is likely to be whether chocolate will taste as good, now that it is so good for you.

TEXT C:

1

The coming year will […] see the opening shots in an inter-green war. This will be caused by the introduction of the first mass-market […] electric saloon cars in America and Japan. China’s attempt to be first, […] has not gone well. Sales are pitiful. But the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan’s Leaf are built to much higher standards by well-established companies. None of these cars relies solely on its batteries for power. All have petrol-driven generators to keep the wheels turning if the batteries run flat. But unlike existing hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius, in which the petrol engine drives the car directly, these so-called plug-in hybrids are pure-electric vehicles when it comes to turning the wheels.

The war will be between supporters of electric vehicles and those of bio-fuels, for these too, will begin to leap forward. At the moment, “bio-fuel” means either ethanol made by the fermentation of sugars from cane or maize or bio-diesel from processed plant oils. In 2010 “advanced” ethanol – made from straw, wood chippings and suchlike, using new technological tricks such as genetically engineered bacteria to do the fermenting – will start coming out of pilot plants. So, too, will “designer” bio-diesel, made from sugar but turned into hydrocarbons that should be even better than fuels from oil.
