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
Women's education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its emphasis on incentives (激励), provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education.
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school the prophecy (预言)becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.
Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.
The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is ______.
A．troublesome
B．labor-saving
C．rewarding
D．expensive
