根据以下内容回答题：
No one knows for sure why birds migrate．One theory of migration says that ancient birds of the northern part of the earth were forced southward during the Ice Age，when ice covered large parts of Europe，Asia and North America．As the ice melted，the birds came back to their homelands，spent the summer，and then went south again in winter．Gradually，these comings and goings became habits，and birds now migrate though much of the ice has gone． Another theory proposes that the ancient home of all modern birds was the tropic areas．There lived so well that the region became overcrowded．Many species had to move northward．During the summer，these birds found plenty of room and food．In winter，however，food be-came scarce and they had to return to the south． A newer theory is that increasing daylight stimulates certain glands（腺）in the bird’s body and prepares it for migration．One scientist is able to make birds migrate in midwinter by expo-sing them for two months to artificial daylight．Recoveries of marked birds indicate that they fly north as soon as they are set free．The conclusion is that the urge to migrate is determined by changes in the bird’s body which take place under seasonal changes in the length of daylight． This theory would account for the fact that not all birds migrate at the same time．Each sDecies seems to have its own schedule．The theory would also account for the regular time and rou‘tes of migration．Birds arrive at a given place year after year．Unfavorable weather delays them only a few days．Total hours of daylight，rather than weather，start them on the way． How birds find their way to the same place year after year and why they follow their own Darticular route are still mysteries．They evidently do not follow known landmarks，for many young birds migrate alone without the help of experienced adults．
We can conclude from the first paragraph that__________ ．
A.during the Ice Age，the whole Europe was covered with ice
B.the south used to be the homelands of all birds
C.scientists can confidently explain why birds migrate now
D.migration of birds can be explained by the change of ice on earth

Perhaps the most startling theory to come out of kinesics, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Birdwhistell.He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed.In other words, we learn our books, but we are not born with them.A baby has generally unformed facial features.A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around family and friends.This helps explain why the people of some regions of the United States look so much alike.New Englanders or Southerners have certain common facial characteristics that cannot be explained by genetics.The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth;it is learned after.In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after permanent teeth are set.For many, this can be well in adolescence.A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike.We learn our looks from those around us.This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas.In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile more frequently.In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York state still less.Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia.People in densely populated urban areas also tend to smile and greet each other in public less than do people in rural areas and small towns.()
A.Ray Birdwhistell can tell what region of the United States a person is form. by how much he or she smiles
B.Ray Birdwhistell is a leader in the field of kinesics
C.Ray Birdwhistell says that our physical appearance is influenced by the appearance of people around us
D.People who live in the country are more friendly than people who live in densely populated areas

In contrast to the nonfunctional appeals of the fine arts, the first purpose of the applied arts is to serve some useful function. Lucy Lewis, a traditional potter from Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico, has applied a visually exciting surface decoration to her water jar, using the chewed end of a yucca spine to paint the fine lines. But the jar's main reason for being "however" is to hold water. Some of the people of Acoma, which may be the oldest continually inhabited city in the United States, still follow the old ways, carrying water for drinking, cooking, and washing up to their adobe homes from natural rock cisterns on the cliff walls below. The forms of their water jars are therefore designed to prevent spilling and to balance readily on one's head. The pots must also be light in weight, so Acoma water jars are some of the world' s thinnest-walled pottery. Interestingly, the languages of most Native American peoples do not include a word that means "fine art." While they have traditionally created pottery, basketry, and weaving with a highly sophisticated sense of design, these pieces were part of their everyday lives.
The applied art of pottery-making, or ceramics, is one of the crafts, the making of useful objects by hand. Other applied art disciplines are similarly functional. Graphic designers create advertisements, fabrics, layouts for books and magazines, logos for corporate identification, and so on; industrial designers shape the mass-produced objects used by high-tech societies, from cars, telephones, and teapots, to one of the most famous visual images in the world: the Coca- Cola bottle. Other applied arts include clothing design, interior design, and environmental design.
The water jar mentioned in the second paragraph can NOT be described as ______.
A．light in weight
B．made by a Native American
C．an example of fine art
D．an object to be used
