26.HowDoAnimalsSpendTheWinter?

（II）

动物如何过冬

（二）

除了迁徙之外，还有什么办法应对严冬？

在秋天里早做打算，身上长出新的皮毛可以御寒，储存大量额外的食物以备冬天食用。

在树洞中，木头里，岩石下甚至地下找一个掩蔽处藏了起来就可过冬了，或者干脆来个冬眠吧。

27.AnimalsAndAestivation

动物和夏眠

动物冬眠不新鲜，还有动物夏眠的？

没错，冬眠的起因大多是动物耐受不了严寒。

而夏眠的原因，则是夏天的干燥与炎热。

类似蚯蚓这类需要保持身体湿润的动物就迫切地需要夏眠。

这些夏眠的动物有什么特征？

它们是怎样夏眠的？

体温会否与冬眠一样有所下降？

下面的文章会告诉你答案。

29.HowShouldPeopleProtectAnimals?

人类如何保护动物?

人类如何保护动物？

是人为的干预，还是允许它们自由繁衍，适者生存？

当农民为了保护自己养殖的小鸡而捕杀老鹰时，他们发现，同时以田鼠为主食的老鹰是被消灭了，但田鼠开始泛滥，吃农民的庄稼了。

自然界是均衡的，每种力量都构成了相互制约的内在联系，是一个完整的生物链，如果破坏其中的一环，就有可能适得其反，在这方面，自然规律给我们以启发。

与动物有关的英语成语

与动物有关的成语有多少？

英语和汉语虽是两种不同民族的语言，但有许多相通之处。

我们常说的“亡羊补牢”，“一石二鸟”，“叫的狗不咬人”这些成语，在英语中都能找得到。

下面还是让我们读读这篇文章吧。
