Birds that feed in flocks commonly retire together into roosts The reasons for roosting communally are not always obvious but there are some likely benefits In winter especially it is important for birds to keep warm at night and conserve precious food reserves One way to this is to find a sheltered roost Solitary roosters shelter indense vegetation or enter a cavity - horned larks dig holes in the ground and ptarmigan burrow into snow banks - but the effect of sheltering is magnified by several birds huddling together in the roosts, as wrens, swifts, brown creepers, bluebirds and anis Body contact reduces the surface area exposed to the cold air, so the birds keep each other warm Two kinglets huddling together were found to reduce their heat losses by a quarter, and three together saved a third of their heat
The second possible benefit of communal roosts is that they act as "information centers." During the day, parties of birds will have spread out to forageover a very large area When they return in the evening some will have fed well, but others may have found little to eat Some investigators have observed that when the birds set out again next morning, those birds that did not feed well on the previous day appear to follow those that did The behavior of common and lesser kestrels may illustrate different feeding behaviors of similar birds with different roosting habits The common kestrel hunts vertebrate animals in a small, familiar hunting ground, whereas the very similar lesser kestrel feeds on insects over a large area The common kestrel roosts and hunts alone, but the lesser kestrel roosts and hunts in flocks, possibly so one bird can learn from others where to find insect swarms

The changing profile of a city in the Unites States is apparent in the shifting definitions used by the United States Bureau of the Census In 1870 the census officially distinguished the nation's “urban” from its “rural” population for the first time “Urban population” was defined as persons living in towns of 8,000 inhabitants or more But after 1900 it meant persons living in incorporated places having 2,500 or more inhabitants
Then, in 1950 the Census Bureau radically changed its definition of “urban” to take account of the new vagueness of city boundaries In addition to persons living in incorporated units of 2,500 or more, the census now included those who lived in unincorporated units of that size, and also all persons living in the densely settled urban fringe, including both incorporated and unincorporated areas located around cities of 50,000 inhabitants or more Each such unit, conceived as an integrated economic and social unit with a large population nucleus, was named a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA)
Each SMSA would contain at least (a) one central city with 50,000 inhabitants or more or (b) two cities having shared boundaries and constituting, for general economic and social purposes, a single community with a combined population of at least 50,000, the smaller of which must have a population of at least 15,000 Such an area included the county in which the central city is located, and adjacent counties that are found to be metropolitan in character and economically and socially integrated with the county of the central city By 1970, about two-thirds of the population of the United States was living in these urbanized areas, and of that figure more than half were living outside the central cities
While the Census Bureau and the United States government used the term SMSA (by 1969 there were 233 of them), social scientists were also using new terms to describe the elusive, vaguely defined areas reaching out from what used to be simple “towns” and “cities” A host of terms came into use: “metropolitan regions,” “polynucleated population groups,” “conurbations,” “metropolitan clusters,” “megalopolises,” and so on
Câu 44: What does the passage mainly discuss? A The changing definition of an urban area
B How the United States Census Bureau conducts a census C Solutions to overcrowding in cities

Câu 47: Prior to 1900, how many inhabitants would a town have to have before being defined as urban?

Câu 48: According to the passage, why did the Census Bureau revise the definition of urban in 1950? A City borders had become less distinct
B New businesses had relocated to larger cities
