外刊阅读拓展 Unit 5　A healthy lifestyle 阅读理解。 河马的善良本性 Every year， hundreds of thousands of wildebeest（牛羚） and zebras come together along the Mara River. They wait to cross the running water to the other bank. Yule is a park keeper. He watches from the riverside， and sees a baby wildebeest jump into the water. But he can’t predict what will happen next. The baby wildebeest tries to go across the river but the rushing water sweeps it away. The wildebeest tries to keep its head above water， but it can’t. Suddenly a hippo（河马） rises out of the water. It is lying in the water near the 　baby 　wildebeest， 　and 　it 　quickly 　swims after the little wildebeest. Hippos can be very dangerous so Yule wants to see what the hippo will do to the baby wildebeest. The strong hippo uses its body to stop the baby wildebeest’s scary ride in the river. It takes the baby wildebeest to the other side of the river. Yule and other onlookers watch the scene（场面） in surprise. “I have never  　▲　 like this，” he says. The wildebeest reaches the other bank and runs back to join its group. Yule thinks the hippo would be too tired for its brave action. However， it goes back into the 　river 　to 　keep 　a 　watchful 　eye. 　 “Animals are changeable， and each one has its own character，” Yule says. “This hippo’s instinct is to help those that need help. It’s just like helpful people who say ‘Not on my watch！’ as they help others.” （素材来源： National Geographic Kids） （　B　）1. What do wildebeest and zebras wait to do along the river？ A.

The best time of the day to do outdoor activities is either in the morning or in the evening when it is cooler.  　▲　 We like having fun there， and we both like riding our bikes， and skateboarding（滑板运动）. When it’s hot， our favourite thing to do is jump into a pool to cool off. Having ice cream， a smoothie， or any cold drink really helps too. We also turn on the air conditioner most of the time. Thankfully， there are plenty of things to do indoors like visiting museums， cinemas， science centres and the bird park， walking around huge malls， or playing a board game（棋类游戏） at home. We also like playing ball games in our free time. Our favourite sport is soccer. In Malaysia， we have lots of beautiful beaches. Our family’s favourite beach is at Emerald Bay.

They often fight for the same living place and the same food. Wolves sometimes kill livestock（家畜） too， causing many people to think the animals are dangerous. Humans often kill wolves， so in most places， these animals have learned to stay away from people. But here on Ellesmere Island， Canada’s northernmost island， it is so far away and so cold that humans hardly ever visit. Only a few scientists have ever studied these Arctic wolves. Because of that， they’ve never learned to fear humans. There may be no other places where wolves would let a human sit beside them like what I’m doing. That’s why I travelled here with a film team. We’re hoping this lack（缺乏） of fear will allow us to watch these animals and learn how they live.  　A　 I’ve been watching these nine wolves for hours， keeping a good distance（距离） between us， so they don’t feel afraid.  　B　 They knew I was there， but they haven’t paid any attention to me-until now. I feel afraid as we look at each other.  　C　 However， I remember that these are still wild animals.  　D　 Seven small wolves begin to walk to me. They come close to see the dead（死的） cow. They pass me and get to the cow. Most of the meat is gone， but there is still much left so that each wolf has something  　　　　. Every few minutes， one of the wolves looks up at me. But none of them seem to be troubled by me. I relax a little as I watch them eat， not knowing what will happen next. （素材来源： National Geographic Kids） 　　根据短文内容，完成任务。（每题答案不超过8个词） 1.
