1 Why is the dodo “just a character” to some readers
Because people don’t see them in the real world.
2 What do “as happy as a clam” and “as dead as a dodo” mean
“As happy as a clam” means being very happy.
“As dead as a dodo” means dying out like dodos.
3 Why does the writer use the two expressions at the end of the passage
To call on people to protect animals.
as happy as a clam 非常高兴的，相当满足的
as dead as a dodo 彻底死亡；已经失效；不再使用
习语，省略了后面的 at high water(涨潮)。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，在潮水中安全地飘荡。clam：名词，意为“蛤;蛤蜊”。
He is as happy as aclam.他非常幸福。
习语，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。
The project is as dead as a dodo.
这个项目没有任何希望。
1 What is the purpose of the passage
2 How do people’s actions influence animals Give an example.
Think and share
Possible answer: People’s actions can change animals’ behaviour. For example, birds sing differently in noisy cities. They do this so they can hear each other.
