     Like many other animals, swallows will fly south when the days turn cold and the leaves from trees
begin to fall. They travel many miles to find a warmer winter. This type of travel is called migration (遷徙).
     Birds are animals that like to migrate a lot when it is cold. About 600 out of 9,000 kinds of birds do it.
They leave in autumn and come back during the warm spring months.
     Many birds don't like the cold. They need food, but plants die and insects (昆蟲) hide in winter. So,
they'll only come home the next year, when there will be plenty of food for them to eat.
     But the trip is often hard and not safe. Many birds fly in groups and make noises. Cranes (鶴) fly in
groups like the letter V, or in a row. Others travel in pairs or alone.
     Some can travel a very long way. They fly between lands. For example, the Arctic tern (北極燕鷗)
can travel 20,100 kilometres. They build a home near the North Pole (北極), go to the Antarctic (南極洲)
in autumn, and then come back in spring.
     How do the birds find their way? They look at things like the sun, moon and stars. They never get lost.
閱讀短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容填表(每空不超過三個(gè)單詞,最后一空為開放性試題,可多于三個(gè)單詞):

     Like all insects, ants (螞蟻) have six legs. Each leg has three joints (關(guān)節(jié)). The legs of an ant are very
strong so they can run very quickly. If a man could run as fast for his size as an ant can, he could run as
fast as a horse. Ants can lift 20 times their own body weight.
    The life of an ant is usually 45-60 days. Ants use their antennae (觸角) not only for touch, but also for
smell. The head of an ant has a pair of large, strong jaws (顎). The jaws open and shut sideways like a pair
of scissors (剪刀). Grown-up ants cannot eat hard food. Instead they have the juice that they get from pieces
of food. They throw away the dry part that is left over. An ant has two eyes. Each eye is made up of many
smaller eyes. They are called compound eyes. An ant has two stomachs. One stomach holds the food for
itself and the other is for food to be given to other ants. Like all insects, the outside of their body is hard.
    Each ant group has at least one or more queens (蟻后). The job of a queen is to lay eggs and worker ants
look after them.
    Worker ants look after the young, protect the nest (巢) from unwanted visitors and look for food. At
night worker ants move the eggs and baby ants deep into the nest to protect them from the cold. During the
daytime, worker ants move the eggs and babies to the top of the nest so that they can be warmer. Each
group of ants has its own smell. In this way, visitors can be made out at once. If a worker ant has found
where the food is, it leaves a special smell so that the other ants in the group can find the food. Ants are
clean and tidy insects. Some worker ants are given the job of taking the waste from the nest and putting it
outside in a special rubbish dump.
1. Ants can run very quickly because           .
[     ]

    Like many people, I have no clear idea about heroes. At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and
what a hero really is.
    Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of
characteristics (特點(diǎn)) which give us courage and make us want to learn from them. A hero does something
worth talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it. But a hero is not just the
person with great fame (聲譽(yù)).
    A hero has powers (力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to
experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve.
What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be
famous persons but not heroes.
    A hero has a vision from the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities.
Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans might take
different buses, eat in different restaurants, go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores
because of the different colours of their skin.
    There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks
to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.
1. According to this passage, a hero is a person who always ______.
[     ]
A. gives us courage
B. thinks highly of others
C. shares great fame
D. stands on the mountaintop
2. If you want to live like a hero, you should ______.
[     ]
A. experience a new and meaningful life
B. listen to something worth talking about
C. serve your own fame and try to be famous
D. know where and how you want to live and die
3. The underlined word "vision" in the passage means "______".
[     ]
A. 風(fēng)景
B. 想象
C. 遠(yuǎn)見
D. 形象
4. Black people in America used to ______ before Martin Luther King, Jr..
[     ]
A. shop at the white's stores
B. drive buses with the white
C. take walks in the white's parks

B. Heroes are all the same though different in cultures.
C. People get power from heroes to move to a new place.
D. Our society has developed faster because of heroes in history.
