18、hed. Because this warming often came about around Christmas, they called it El Nino, which is Spanish for the “Christ Child”.

25、ts owner.

31、r one has a wingspread of less than three inches and also a black line on its back wings.At first sight, it is hard to tell them apart. Would you guess from this that they are different-sized butterflies of the same species? Or that they are different species of butterflies but close relatives belon

32、ging to the same family? If you said yes to either question, you would be wrong, for these look-alikes belong to quite different families.The larger insect is the monarch butterfly (黑脉金斑蝶).

33、l. The bright coloring of the monarch acts as a warning sign to its enemy. Birds that eat butterflies soon recognize the monarch and quickly learn to leave it alone.The smaller insect is the viceroy (副王峡蝶), which feeds on the leaves of trees. Birds would find this insect tasty, but because it looks

34、like the monarch, birds keep away from it.

38、, pink pigeons and small tooth sawfish.They are all endangered animals! Animals become endangered for a variety of reasons. Sadly, humans are behind every one of them! For centuries, humans have hunted elephants for their tusks, and killed tigers for their beautiful furs, caught fish for food. While

39、 we still have elephants, tigers, and fish in the wild, we cannot say the same about many others that have simply died out!Year 1505 was a dreadful turning point in the natural history of the island of Mauritius European sailors discovered this beautiful island in the Indian Ocean and brought dogs,

40、pigs, monkeys with them. The arrival of humans and those introduced animal species were bad news for dodo birds.

41、foot on Mauritius, however, dodo birds realized that they were in big trouble men killed them for their meat, and those introduced animal species destroyed their nests and ate their eggs. The effects of excessive (过度的) hunting and foreign species drove dodo birds to first become much fewer and then

43、the same time that we are trying to make our life comfortable, as a result, we destroy the habitats of wild animals.More than once we have seen on televisions that rescue workers are trying their best to save seabirds in spilled (泄露的) oil.
