LESSON FIVE
WINTER SLEEP
Some birds will fly away to the south when the weather turns cold. Other birds and all animals stay with you, but you will not see all the animals all through the winter. In the cold weather some of them hibernate.
They go to sleep in all kinds of places. Red squirrels disappear inside trees, bears use caves, frogs go deep under the muc, and many other animals dig tunnels in the earth. A good many animals sleep under the snow. There is a lot of air in loose snow, and this helps to keep the cold out.
Some warm-blooded animals, like the cat, the dig or the wolf, do not need to hibernate; they lead an active life which keeps up their normal body temperature even in very cold winter weather. But for a cold-blooded creature such as a frog or a snake it is a different matter. When the air temperature is below freezing, the creature’s body temperature drops too. It cannot move about in its usual way. Then it has no choice but to lie down and sleep. To do that, it must find a place where it can keep fairly warm; and it must be a place where its enemies cannot find it.
Hibernation is more than sleep. It is a very deep sleep. The animal’s temperature drops to just over zero centigrade, and its heart beats very slowly. People who find hibernating animals asleep often think that they are dead: the body feels very cold, and the creature may breathe only once every five minutes. A hibernating animal cannot feel any pain. You can touch it, or even pull its tail, without causing it to move or wake up. In its hibernating state it can even live in a poisonous atmosphere for a long time without any ill effect.
Hibernating in that way, the animal can sleep all through the winter. You might wonder how it manages to live without eating for so many months. The answer lies in two facts. The first is that it has stored supplies of fat in its body during the summer and autumn. The second is connected with the main use the body makes of food – to supply the energy for movement. We have seen that the hibernating animal reduces movement to far below the ordinary level. Even the movements of the heart and lungs are greatly reduced. The animal hardly makes any movement, hardly uses any energy, and hardly needs any food.
Some animals, including some bears, only half-hibernate. That is to say, they sleep during the winter but their sleep is not such a deep one, and their body temperature does not drop. In the autumn the bear eats and eats and becomes very fat indeed. His hair grows longer. Soon he has a thick covering of fat and fur. In November he finds a place in a cave or under a tree and just lies down and goes to sleep. On warm winter days he may think that spring has arrived; he gets up and walks around. When he sees that the snow is still thick on the ground, he quickly goes to sleep again.
The squirrel is an animal which makes secret food stores for the winter. It hides large quantities of nuts inside trees. In the old stories which taught moral lessons to children, the squirrel was a ‘good’ animal: it saved someing for the future.

NOTES TO THE TEXT
1. There is a lot of air in loose snow, and this helps to keep the cold out. 松散的雪里有大量的空气,这有助于御寒。

句中的more than是“多过”、“比……更”的意思。
3. The animal’s temperature drops to just over zero centigrade,… 动物的体温降到刚好在零摄氏度以上……

to supply the energy for movement是the main use的同位语,起进一步说明的作用。

A Fish That Walks
Everyone knows that fish can swim. But there is a special kind of fish that can also “walk”. The walking fish can “leave” the water and still live. Sometimes a walking fish gets tired of swimming in its pond. Then it can jump out and walk to a new one.
Like other fish, the walking fish uses its gills for breathing when it is in the water. But the walking fish also has a simple lung that lets it breathe outside of the water. It is its lung that makes this kind of fish different from other fish. Its lung lets the fish breathe air when it is not in the water. A walking fish can stay outside of the water for up to twelve hours.
The fish has its own strange way of walking. It jumps out of the water. It bends its back, drags its tail forward, lifts its head and throws itself toward where it wants to go.
The fish can keep up this “walking” until it reaches a new pond. Once in the new pond, the walking fish swims again.
Pond n.池塘;鱼塘 gill n.鳃

2. What does a walking fish do when it gets tired of swimming in its pond?
