28、redDBushfires: Koala Killers in AustraliaBScientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracker that cost dear and would not cause flying problems to help them monitor magpies, who are known to be quite clever and live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they
29、live in, but these birds had other ideas.The team outfitted five magpies with small backpack-like harnesses attached to the trackers, each of which weighed less than one gram. Once the trackers were on, scientists could guide the birds that previously received their instructions back to an outdoor g
30、round “feeding station” where the trackers could charge wirelessly, and the team could download the data.Scientists planned the pilot experiment to learn more about how far the highly intelligent creatures travel and if they have any patterns or schedules of travelling.

35、ped them.DThey named them.6What was the initial purpose of the experiment?ATo explain magpies teamwork.BTo track magpies movement behavior.CTo test the trackers effects on magpies.DTo make magpies adapt to climate change.7What can we say about the experiment?AIt was inexpensive.BIt was controversial
