Swifts (雨燕)live mostly in the air.These birds are among the fastest animals on Earth.In fact，swifts can go two or three days without touching the ground! To get used to life in the sky，swifts use their speed and the saliva (唾液)in their mouths.
Swifts can fly about 70 miles per hour.That’s because their wings are like boomerangs.This shape of the wings helps them to fly much faster.They can also move one wing faster than the other，which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down.Making fast and sharp turns helps swifts catch flying bugs to eat.
The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young.It is sticky，like glue.Swifts often fly into clouds of bugs such as mosquitoes and open their wide mouths to catch as many insects as they can.The bird collects insects in its mouth gradually and holds the insects in a sticky ball of saliva.One food ball can contain nearly 1，000 bugs.
Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests.The birds catch feathers in the air and stick the feathers together to build a strong nest on the side of a building.Swifts’ short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long.But their sharp claws allow them to stick to rocks and walls so they can take a brief rest before returning to their lives in the sky.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

A.how fast swifts can fly B.why swifts can fly and turn so fast

A.Swifts can catch nearly 1，000 bugs in one go with the saliva.
B.Swifts can fly for a long time because of their small bodies.
C.Swifts don’t live on land because of their wings.
D.Swifts can’t walk for a long time because of their short feet.

Do you remember the public advertisement (广告)on CCTV It’s about protecting wild animals.
36.　　 It’s true that people kill wild animals all around the world for many reasons.
37.　　 In the past，there was not enough food to eat.People had to kill wild animals to get food.But they always kept the younger ones so that they could get more food when they grew up.But now，some people think the meat of wild animals is more delicious than that of farmed animals.However，it is dangerous and illegal (犯法的)to eat the meat of wild animals because they may carry deadly viruses (病毒).38.　　 People kill wild animals for their fur and bones，too.In old times，people didn’t have enough materials to make clothes，so they made clothes with the fur of wild animals.39.　　 Besides，some people think the bones of wild animals can be used as medicine.In fact，scientists say it is a stupid idea.
40.　　 If we don’t do something to protect them，they will die one day.If this happens，we won’t live any longer because we depend on each other.
