Unit 1 The king’s new clothes

课外阅读提优

一、阅读短文，判断句子正（T）误（F）。

Who wears clothes?

You might put on a jacket to play in the snow, but a polar near doesn’t need to. A polar bear is more likely to be too hot than too cold. Two layers of fur cover every bit of the bear but its nose and the pads on the bottom of its feet. The long, oily outer coat keeps the thick, fuzzy undercoat warm and dry.

You might put on fancy clothes for a special party, but a peacock doesn’t need to. Only boy birds should be called peacocks. The girls are peahens, babies and peachicks, and the whole bunch is peafowl. Peacocks show off their fancy feathers in a fabulous fan-shaped display when they want to impress the peahens.

You might put on a uniform to show which team you’re on, but a naked mole rat doesn’t need to. Naked mole rats live together in big groups, but different groups don’t like mixing with one another. They can’t see very well as they scurry through their dark underground tunnels. So how do they know who’s who? They use smell to tell（区分）friends from strangers.
