Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Rhiannon is a volunteer worker from Gold Coast, Australia, who provides a temporary (临时的) home for bats (蝙蝠). Although they look frightening due to how they are usually pictured, Rhiannon has built a lovely connection with the bats under her care. Eddie, one of the bats that lived at her home, enjoyed spending time with her. It was a flying fox (a large fruit bat) that was once found in a park. According to Rhiannon, he might have been so weak that he couldn't hold on to his mother.

“After being taken to a wildlife hospital, he was finally moved into my care. He simply

could have just fallen off Mum as she went out to feed for the night，” Rhiannon explained. Despite getting lost, Eddie has received motherly care from Rhiannon since then. Thankfully, Rhiannon has wide bat care knowledge, so he was placed in good hands.

Caring for a premature (早产的) baby bat is challenging. Rhiannon mentioned that it was very touch­and­go during the first few days of Eddie's stay. Aside from feeding, he had to be placed in an incubator (恒温箱)for three to four hours to ensure his survival. “Once he started opening his eyes and moving around more, you could really see his personality and his strength and will to keep going，” Rhiannon shared.

Apart from Eddie, Rhiannon has met a lot of flying foxes before. But her presence in their lives is temporary－there comes a day when they are set free in the wild. Eddie has already started a life in the wild. Rhiannon said that it was difficult to let him go, but it was necessary. She just hopes that all the bats saved by her lead safe and comfortable lives and that she has taught them everything they need for survival.
