阅读理解题型分类练（五） 推理判断题———观点态度类 A （2024·甘肃诊断）Old dogs may not have an easy time learning new tricks， but it’s not a problem for cockatoos （凤头鹦鹉）.In fact， researchers believe they teach one another.In Sydney， Australia， these birds have learned to lift the lids of rubbish bins.Then they can enjoy the treats inside.At first only birds in a few suburbs of Sydney could do the trick.But nearly two years later，the technique spread to birds in 44 suburbs.Cockatoos proved to be smart birds and good learners. Cockatoos are some of the most fascinating birds in the world.Members of the parrot family， they live in Australia and parts of Southeast Asia.Their striking good looks， intelligence and social nature make them popular pets. One of the most distinctive features of cockatoos is the crest （羽冠） of feathers on their heads.The birds can raise or lower these feathers at will.If it is excited or scared， a cockatoo will raise its crest to show its emotions. Cockatoos have powerful beaks （喙） that they use to open seeds and nuts — or rubbish bin lids.They are also versed in using tools.In the wild， some cockatoos use sticks to get insects out of tree bark.Others use small stones to crack open hard-shelled nuts. Cockatoos are also very social.In the wild， they form large flocks of up to several hundred individuals.They make different sounds to communicate with one another.They engage in playful behaviours such as dancing and cleaning each other’s feathers. As pets， the birds can form strong bonds with their owners and be entertaining companions.But cockatoos can be challenging pets to keep.They require a lot of attention and social interaction.If they don’t get them， they can become bored and destroy things.Cockatoos live long lives — around 70 years — making keeping one a serious responsibility. Rather than committing to caring for one at home， enjoy the birds in the wild.Who knows what trick they will learn next！ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了凤头鹦鹉不仅外表美丽，而且内在充满智慧，擅长社交的优点，同时建议人们去野外观赏它们。 1.What is Paragraph 1 aimed at？（ ） A.Clarifying the weakness of old dogs.
