Birds belong to a class of warm blooded vertebrate animal with feather covered bodies. Next to
the mammals, birds are the most important group of land-living vertebrates. All birds have feathers,
although in some types, particularly those that can not fly, the normal structure of the feathers may be
much modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The forelimbs of birds are modified into wings. The
bony part of the tail, except in the very earliest fossil birds is very short, and the visible tail is composed
of feathers only. The teeth are absent except in some fossil forms. As in mammals-the only other group of
warm blooded animal-the circulation is highly perfected so that there is no mixing of arterial and venous
blood, but the arrangement of veins and arteries by which this is accomplished, is different in the two
groups. Birds have been keen on hearing, although they have no external ears. The sense of sight is also
very keen, but the sense of smell is weak or lacking, except in a few vultures and other birds.
23. The passage is about the _____ of birds

worm and BOOM!

The following text is for questions 43 46
After seeing the first 1929 production of the great World War I drama Journeys End, the
journalist J.B. Priestly called it the strongest place for peace I know. A reviewer for the Daily Mirror in
London called it a much better argument against war than sentimental propaganda plays, and the
novelist Hugh Walpole said it managed to hit the hardest blow in its swollen stomach that war has yet
had.
More than 75 years later a renewal of the play, by R.C. Sherriff, is opening on Broadway against
the background of disappointment with the war in Iraq, and the plays antiwar reputation remains strong.
The British equivalent of Cliffs Notes, the Methuen study guide, baldly assert that journeys End is a
message carrying-play with a definite purpose in mind: to make people think over the stupidity and
horrors of wars. So it may come as a surprise that the playwright insisted that his work was nothing of
the kind.
Mr. Sherriff, who maintained this view to the end of his life, though he was celebrating the men
with whom he had fought. At the moment of his success _ journeys End made him independently rich
_ he insisted: I have not written this play as a piece of propaganda. And certainly not as propaganda for
peace.
Nevertheless his producer, Maurice Browne, a pacifist and conscientious objector who spent
World War I in America, took the opposite view. Mr. Brownes enthusiasm for the play baffled Mr.
Sherriff, who wrote, 40 years on, that he had thought Mr. Browne would have had a violent dislike
against a war play in which not a word is spoken against the war, in which no word of condemnation was
uttered by any of its characters. Yet, over the years Mr. Brownes interpretation has generally prevailed.
43. What is the title of drama reviewed?
