In this part, you are required to watch a video clip, and read after the speaker in the video.

For this smaller species, a better option is to retreat underground. So he digs himself a tunnel down into the mud. The tunnel is more than a refuge from the sun. It serves another very important purpose. The tunnel is actually U-shaped and at the far end is a sealed chamber, the walls of which are lined with eggs. The eggs are kept in air as it’s richer in oxygen than the water. The problem is the air that’s trapped here won’t last for long. So the male travels to the open end of the tunnel to gulp fresh air. Back he goes down his tunnel where he releases it into the egg chamber.

PART C：Retelling 故事复述

录音内容：

Mr and Mrs Bell are very forgetful. For example, Mr Bell sometimes goes to his office for work on Sunday morning, thinking that it is Monday. And Mrs Bell sometimes forgets to cook supper for the family.

One summer, they planned to fly to New York for their holiday. They got to the airport only twenty minutes before the plane took off, so time was limited. But suddenly, Mrs Bell said she must tell Alice, their daughter, not to forget to lock the front door every time she went to school. They called home, but no one answered it. They thought Alice must have left home for school. So they hurried to the post office. They wanted to post a letter to Alice’s school. Mrs Bell wrote a short letter while Mr Bell bought a stamp and an envelope. Soon the letter was ready. They put the stamp on the envelope in a hurry and dropped it in the letter box, but suddenly Mrs Bell began to cry. The short letter was still in her hand. She had put the plane tickets in the envelope. And of course, they missed the plane. They came back only to see the front door open. Alice had forgotten to lock it when she went to school. She and her parents do have something in common, don’t they?

Summary:

Mr and Mrs Bell don’t have a good memory. One summer, they went to the airport for a flight to New York for their holiday. There, Mrs Bell wanted to tell her daughter not to forget to lock the front door every time she went to school. She decided to write her a short letter after failing to get in touch with her on the phone. However, she found she had put the plane tickets in the envelope instead of the letter. They came back and found that their daughter had forgotten to lock the front door.
