Birds are animals that like to migrate (迁徙) 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 hide in winter. So, they’ll only come home the next year, when there will be lots of food for them to eat.
But the trip is often hard and not safe. Many birds fly in groups and make noise. Cranes 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(北极燕鸥) can travel 20,100 kilometres. They build a home near the North Pole, go to the Antarctic(南极洲) 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.
( ) 1. During winters, these birds migrate mainly because _____.
A. they like to migrate B. it is too cold
C. other big birds eat them D. there’s not much food for them
( ) 2. The trip is hard and not safe. Many birds travel in _____.
A. alone B. groups C. pairs D. itself
( ) 3. Birds find their way by _____.
A. following the wind B. listening to noise other birds make
C. looking at some certain things D. looking at clouds
