AOnce there was a baby eagle living in a nest(巢) on a cliff(山崖). The baby eagle loved his nest. It was warm, soft and comfortable. And even better, he had all the food and love that his mother could give. Whenever the baby eagle was hungry, his mother would always come just in time with the delicious food he liked. He was growing happily day after day. But suddenly his world changed. His mother stopped coming to the nest, he was full of sadness and fear. He thought he would die soon. He cried, but nobody heard him.Two days later, mother appeared with some nice food. The baby eagle was wild with joy. But his mother put the food at the top of the mountain and then looked down at her baby. The baby eagle cried out, “Mum, why did you do this to me? I’m hungry. Don’t you know I will die if I have nothing to eat?”“Here is the last meal I give you. Come and get it by yourself.” his mother said. Then she flew down and pushed the baby eagle out of the nest.The baby eagle fell down, faster and faster. He looked up at his mum, “Why do you leave me?” He looked down at the earth. The ground was much closer. Then something strange happened. The air caught behind his arms and he began to fly! He wasn’t moving to the ground any more.

It’s not hard to guess. The top half of the fish looks like a small horse.Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world. There are 32 different kinds of sea horses. Their sizesare quite different from one inch long to about one foot long. Because their fins are small, sea horses swim very slowly. They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses. They can also change colours to keep themselves. Sea horses feed on live food, such as tiny shrimps. A sea horse has no teeth, so it eats the shrimp whole.A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life, unlike most kinds of fish. And it’s the male sea horse, not the female, which gives birth to baby sea horses. How does this happen? Baby sea horses start out as eggs, which come from the female’s body. But the female places the eggs in the male sea horse’s pouch (育儿袋). The male carries the eggs for about three weeks until they hatch (孵化).The number of sea horses is becoming smaller. Why is this happening? Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land. Also, many sea horses are caught and kept in aquariums (水箱) where they can’t live long. The best place for a se a horse is the ocean. There it can find a mate and bring new sea horses into the world.24．Sea horses do the following things except ________ to keep themselves safe from other fish.A．changing colours B．changing sizes C．hiding in plants D．hiding in grasses25．Why is the number of sea horses becoming smaller?A．Because they grow at a very low speed.
