四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】
One of the most beautiful sights in the bird world is the male peafowl, or peacock, strutting proudly about with
its magnificent tail raised and its richly colored tail feathers glistening in the sunlight.
The peacock’s many-colored “tail” is not really a tail at all. It is a fan composed of stiff, beautiful feathers. This
fan is supported by the peacock’s true tail. In addition to the glorious plumage, a peacock has a crest of upright
feathers on its head. The peahen, or female peafowl, has no such grand coloring. Instead, the peahen is
usually colored dull brown and has neither a fan nor a crest.
The peafowl is a member of the pheasant family. It may be found living wild in the jungles of Asia and of the
East Indies. Tame peafowls may be seen in nearly all other parts of the world, where, although their flesh and their
eggs are both good for table use, they are generally kept as ornaments or curiosities in parks and in zoos.
Peafowls in a wild state feed on grass, grain, frogs, insects, and snails. In captivity, however, they thrive on
grains commonly fed to poultry.

(A) it is easy to tell peacocks from peahens
(B) peacocks are sometimes white
(C) peahens are not vain
(D) peacocks like to strut about
