Some
13、animals grow heavy coats of fur or feathers, while others dig into the ground to find a warm wintertime home.Some animals spend the winter in a deep sleep because by going to sleep they avoid the time of the year when food is scarce and the temperatures are low. Their sleep is known as hibernation.T
14、here is much about hibernation that puzzles scientists. For example, they are wondering how hibernation came into being. Some scientists have explored the possibility that animals release a chemical that starts them hibernating.One thing that scientists are certain about is that animals hibernate on
15、ly when it is cold. Hibernation is a seasonal practice.Some animals that fall into a wintertime sleep are not true hibernators because they spend only a part of the cold season asleep. Bears, for example, can easily be awakened from their winter nap. They are not true hibernators.Sometimes it is dif

It would take a person two days and two nights to walk this far, and only one man has ever done it without stopping. What amazing animal has such
20、endurance? The camel! The camel is well known for something else, too. It can cross an entire desert without a single drink of water. Its body is built in a special way to help it store water and food.A person has just one stomach, but a camel has quite a few. Within each stomach are layers and laye
21、rs of cells. These cells are like tiny water balloons, storing liquids until the camel needs them. When the camel drinks, the cells grow larger and larger. For a whole week, they can keep the animals thirst away by sending water to all parts of its body.And did you ever wonder why the camel has a hu
22、mp? The hump is a storage place for fat. Because it has this storage area, the camel does not need to eat very often. When the animal needs energy, the layers of fat serve as fuel to keep it going on the long, hot days in the burning sun.The camel has one other gift that makes it well suited to arid
23、 regions. This gift is its amazing nose. A camel can smell a water hole from miles away!When a camel moves it sways from side to side like a ship on a wavy ocean.

27、ip of a volcano called Soufriere, which erupted last in 1902. Since that time, it had not shown any signs of action.

28、like burnt eggs. A seething fog was rising from the lakes surface.Local scientists rushed to Soufriere to see if this might be the beginning of a new volcanic explosion. They found a huge black mass in the middle of the water. It was a great blob 1,000 feet long and 300 feet wide. Lava had pushed up
29、 through the bottom of the lake and formed a new island.The investigators wanted to make sure that the volcano was safe, and that the lava would not over- flow into the surrounding countryside.

33、flesia has no stem or leaves. It is all flower. It attaches itself to the roots of other plants and sucks their juices. The flowers favorite home is the root of the vine, which grows above ground.The rafflesia seems to burst right out of the forest floor. Its blossom weighs fifteen pounds! It has th
34、ick, spotted petals that give off a rotten smell. The center is about the size of a household bucket.
