Owls are poor home builders. They prefer to nest in a large hollow in a tree or even to occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow. These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and bark and lined with leaves and feathers. Sometimes owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground.
The mother lays two or three round, dull white eggs. Then she stoically settles herself on the nest and spreads her feather skirts about her to protect her precious charges from snow and cold.
It is five weeks before the first downy white owlet peeks its way out of the shell. As the young birds feather out, they look like wise old men with their wide eyes and quizzical expressions. They clamor for food and keep the parents busy supplying mice, squirrels, rabbits, crayfish, and beetles. Later in the season baby crows are taken. Migrating songsters, waterfowl, and game birds all fall prey to the hungry family. It is nearly ten weeks before fledglings leave the nest to search for their own food. The parent birds weary of family life by November and drive the young owls away to establish hunting ranges of their own.

Now Custom has not been commonly regarded as a subject of any great importance. The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behavior. at its most common place. As a matter of fact, it is the other way around. Traditional custom, taken the world over, is a mass of detailed behavior. more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions. Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the matter. The fact of first-rate importance is the pre- dominant role that custom plays in experience and in belief and the very great varieties it may manifest.
No man ever looks at the world with pristine (未受外界影响的)eyes. He sees it edited by a definite set of customs and institutions and ways of thinking. Even in his philosophical probings he cannot go behind these stereotypes(固定的模式); his very concepts of the true and the false will still have reference to his particular traditional customs. John Dewey has said in all seriousness that the part played by custom in shaping the behavior. of the individual as over against any way in which he can affect traditional custom, is as the proportion of the total vocabulary of his mother tongue over against those words of his own baby talk that are taken up into the language of his family. When one seriously studies social orders that have had the opportunity to develop independently, the figure(这种比喻) becomes no more than an exact and matter-of-fact observation. The life history of the individual is first and foremost an adjustment to the patterns and standards, traditionally handed down in his community. From the moment of his birth the customs into which he is born shape his experience and behavior. By the time he can talk, he is the little creature of his culture, and by the time he is grown and able to take part in its activities, its habits are his habits, its beliefs his beliefs, its impossibilities his impossibilities.
The author thinks the reason why custom has been ignored in the academic world is that______.
Grasses and flowers in desert are able to survive because they stay in the form. of seeds
听力原文：M: Hi, Helen, what do you think of our class in Children' s Literature？
W: It looks pretty good. Are you also majoring in Elementary Education？
M: Yes. I can use this to fulfill the requirement in my course.
W: Have you finished the first assignment yet？
M: Not yet. I just bought the books today. How about you？
W: I started this afternoon. It' s great fun reading those wonderful children stories by Doctor Seuss.
M: Doctor Seuss？ I don't remember seeing his name on the reading list.
W: His full name' s Theodore Seuss Geisel. You can fired this name on the reading list. Doctor Seuss is his pen name.
M: I love reading those stories as a child. It' ll be interesting to read them now from a different point of view. I guess they' ll give me a good idea of how children think.
W: Those stories are also great for classroom use.
M: How' s that？
W: Well, take a typical Doctor Seuss' book like The Cat in the Hat. It has a controlled vocabulary of only two hundred words.
M: So that means the children get lots of practice using a small number of words over and over.
W: Exactly. In fact The Cat in the Hat was written mainly to show how a controlled vocabulary reader could also be interesting and fun.
M: Well, it sounds as though this course is also going to be interesting and fun. I think I' ll get started on those readings tonight.
