1 Where can you see these animals now
2 What happened to them
3 What do you think are the reasons
We can only see these animals in the museum now.
They died out.
Maybe because humans hunted them. Humans also cut down trees in the forest and their homes are gone.
Read the passage. What happened to dodos
Dodos died out because humans arrived at their island.
What do you think of dodo’s story
It’s sad.
adj. 死的，去世的
n. 渡渡鸟
Where can you see dodos now
How was dodos’ life in the beginning
There used to be thousands of dodos for real. But now you can only see them in museums [a place to see and learn about art, history, or science].
They lived on an island [a piece of land in water] in the Indian Ocean [a very large sea]. There was plenty [a lot] of food to eat. All the other animals were friendly [kind, nice].
渡渡鸟曾经的生活：
happy, peaceful [quiet and calm], safe.
Read the passage again and answer the questions.
Why did dodos die out
In 1598, humans arrived [to get to a place]. They cut down the trees and the lovely forest [a large area of land covered with trees] was gone. They hunted dodos. Their animals ate dodos’ eggs. As a result, dodos soon [in a short time] died out.
hunt v. 打猎；猎杀
Complete the display board with the words and expressions from the passage.

Answer the questions.
1 Why is the dodo “just a character” to some readers
2 What do “as happy as a clam” and “as dead as a dodo” mean
3 Why does the writer use the two expressions at the end of the passage
The dodo is “just a character” to some readers because people don’t see them in the real world.
“As happy as a clam” means very happy. “As dead as a dodo” means completely dead.
The writer uses the two expressions to encourage readers to protect animals.
1 What is the purpose of the passage
Learning to think for question 1
You may find the writing purpose from the title, beginning or ending of the passage. Usually, the writer wants the readers to learn a lesson or take some action.
The purpose of the passage is to tell people about the dodo’s story and show how people influence wild animals. Also, it’s to call on people to protect animals in need.
2 How do people’s actions influence animals Give an example.
People’s actions can change animals’ behaviour. For example, in noisy cities birds sing differently. They do this so they can hear each other.
What can we do to help animals
过去曾经……
真正地，确实地，认真地
而且，此外
因此
灭绝，消失
非常高兴的，相当满足的

The passenger pigeon once lived in North America. It was grey and about 40 cm long. It lived in very large groups and could fly fast. Often, millions of passenger pigeons flew together. The animal died out because people hunted it. They were easy to shoot. The last known passenger pigeon died in 1914. We should protect wildlife to prevent more animals from becoming extinct.
What we can learn from all our works
So many fantastic animals are gone. We should do whatever we can to protect the ones that are still with us in the world.
1. Actually, there used to be thousands of us — for real.
实际上，我们曾经有成千上万只——真的。
used to … 过去曾经……
后跟动词原形，表示过去的习惯或者常态，但是现在已经不存在。
e.g. Jimmy used to live here.
Jimmy曾经住在这里。（现在不住在这里了)
for real 真正地，确实地，认真地
常用于口语，以强调所描述的事情是真实的。
e.g. This is not a joke I am for real.
这不是开玩笑。我是认真的。
2. In the happy old days, there was plenty of food to eat.
在过去快乐的时光里，我们有很多食物可以吃。
plenty pron. 丰富，充足，众多，大量
plenty of 许多的，足够的
plenty of既可与不可数名词连用，又可与可数名词连用。
e.g. Don’t worry! We have plenty of time.
There are plenty of chairs in the room.

我们已经学过不少表示“许多”的词语，大致可分为以下三类：
1. 只能与可数名词连用的，如：many等。
2. 只能与不可数名词连用的，如：much等。
3. 既能与可数名词连用，又能与不可数名词连用的，如：
a lot of, lots of, plenty of等。

根据句意及首字母提示填写单词。

plenty
3. All the other animals were friendly.
其他动物都很友好。
friendly adj. 友好的，友善的
由“friend (n. 朋友) + -ly (后缀)”构成
be friendly to sb. 对某人友好
e.g. Wu Peng is my new friend. He is very friendly.
吴鹏是我的新朋友，他很友好。
The old woman is friendly to me.
那位老妇人对我很友好。
【语境应用】

4. What a peaceful and safe life!
多么平静安稳的生活啊！
本句是what引导的感叹句，其基本的句子结构：
What + a/an + 形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语！
e.g. What a clever boy he is!
他是个多么聪明的男孩啊!
与how引导的感叹句相比，what引导的感叹句主要强调名词，因此句型中what后面一般跟的是 (a/ an+) 形容词 +名词；而how引导的感叹句主要强调程度，因此句型中how后面一般跟的是形容词或副词。
e.g. What a beautiful song you sing! 你唱的歌真好听！
What a lovely flower it is! 多美的一朵花啊！
How beautifully you sing! 你唱得多么好听呀！
How lovely the flower is! 这朵花真美啊！

10. Make them as happy as a clam, not as dead as a dodo.
让它们快乐如蛤蜊，而不是像渡渡鸟一样遭遇灭顶之灾。
as happy as a clam是一个英文习语，省略了后面的at high
water (涨潮)，意为“非常高兴的，相当满足的”。
比喻像涨潮时的蛤蜊一样快乐，因为海水退潮时蛤蜊很容易被捕食，到了涨潮时则无须担心。
as dead as a dodo也是一个英文习语，意为“彻底死亡；已经失效；不再使用”，常用于表示一件事毫无意义。这个
习语的由来便是渡渡鸟的灭绝。
