B. Some animals sleep in winter time because the weather can be very cold and it is difficult for them to find food. They can sleep for a long time (from autumn to spring). This kind of winter sleep is called “hibernation.” If an animal moves about a lot, it needs food. Hibernating animals do not need to eat much because they are not moving about. Their hearts beat very slowly and they also breathe slowly. They find a place out of danger. Their body fat keeps them alive and warm. Some animals, such as bears, may wake up from their hibernation on warm winter days and then quickly go back to sleep again when they see the snow is still thick on the ground. When the weather becomes warmer in spring, the animals start to wake up and look for food. ( ) 6. Some animals hibernate in winter because ________.

But many wild animals are facing the danger of dying out, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, their living area has become narrower and narrower because of the development of cities and pollution. They have no room to live in except the zoo. And many of the wild animals now can’t find enough food to eat. At the same time, man is killing off animals just for getting their fur, skin, teeth and meat. People should realize how serious the situation is and something should be done to protect the animals . We are supposed to set up some nature reserves so that animals can live freely. Besides, people should not be allowed to kill the endangered animals or eat their meat. We should do something to make our world cleaner. Fresh air, clean water, grass are all important for animals. The death of the endangered animals will bring a disaster to human beings. 1.Are animals people’s friends? ____________________________ 2.Why are many animals facing the danger of dying out? ________________________________________________________ 3.Why do people kill off animals? ________________________________________________________ 4.What should be done to protect the animals according to the passage? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ 5.What’s the main idea of the passage? _________________________________________________________ (责任编辑:admin) |
