Task 2 Read the passage. What happened to dodos
However, in 1598, humans arrived. They cut down the trees and our lovely forest was gone. They hunted us because we were slow and couldn't fly. What's more, their pigs, cats and dogs ate our eggs. As a result, we soon died out.
So today we are standing in museums around the world. When you see us, please remember our sad story. The world is full of fantastic animals. Please try your best to help them. Make them as happy as a clam, not as dead as a dodo.

an introduction to dodos
We lived on an island in the Indian Ocean. In the happy old days, there was plenty of food to eat. All the other animals were friendly. What a peaceful and safe life!

1、Why is the dodo “just a character” to some readers
This is because dodos died out and people won’t see them in nature.
2、What does “as dead as a dodo” mean
“As dead as a dodo” means completely dead.
3、Why does the writer use the two expressions at the end of the passage
The writer uses them to show strong happiness and sadness. The contrast (对比) makes the different feelings much stronger. What’s more, “as dead as a dodo” is to echo the title and call on us to protect animals in need.

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.
