2.【讲课要点】猴子 monkeys 常年栖息在树上,需获取水源来生存.获取水源有两祌方法:来源 1、食物: 食物里含有很多水分,absorb moisture from foods,所以他们无需再另外喝水.举例:hobe(一种猴子的名字,此拼写为回忆,屏幕上会出现) monkeys 以吃树叶为生,他们爱吃很嫩的树叶(tender leaves),嫩叶新鲜多汁,所以它们可以获取足够水分,不喝水也没有问题。来源 2、雨水:雨后,找到存留在树叶上的水洼,以补充水分,举例:spider monkeys 生活的地方有一种特殊plant,叶子呈杯子cup-shaped leaves,雨后,这种叶子上会有很多积水,猴子可以用这种叶子作容器接水喝。
3.【讲座主题】Animals that hatch from eggs 会在蛋壳里的时候就会制造出一些声音来communicate that they are ready to hatch.
【相关例子】第一个目的:当有很多eggs 的时候,it is very important that 这些eggs 在同一个时间被hatch 出来,而不会出现hatch 晚的baby 被妈妈遗弃了。比如ducks,一个duck 要hatch 了,就会发出clicking noise,其他的ducks 也会发出同样声音,告诉妈妈我们都要出来了,别把我们忘了的意思。第二个目的是让妈妈帮助自己成功地破壳出来。比如crocodile,他的eggs 是埋在mud 里的, baby crocodile 要破壳出来的时候,就会scratch the inside of the shell 告诉妈妈,然后鳄鱼妈妈就会把mud remove 掉,否则baby crocodile 出不来。
