2023-2024学年度第一学期月度调研卷 九年级英语 2023.12 B There's nothing quite like falling asleep after a full day of work. Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest. Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open.

Parrotfish blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep. Then a bubble (气泡) will be formed around them. The bubble protects them from harm while they sleep. Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks(花栗鼠) sleep curled up(蜷缩)in a ball.Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot, dry period. A frog may stay in its hole for months. High above the ground, monkeys find leafy(叶茂的) places in trees each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night.
