　　Why don’t birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another?

　　Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely

　　21

　　the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds

　　22

　　fly by night? Tests with artificial（人造的）stars have proved that certain night flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.

　　A dove（鸽子） had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a

　　23

　　(nature) sky. Yet

　　24

　　showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage

　　25

　　(place) under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction

　　26

　　(take) by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused

　　27

　　change in the direction of his flight.

　　28

　　(fly) in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. What do they do

　　29
