A New AnimalR = Reporter E = ExplorerSample? R: Now, Professor Davis, I hear that you’ve discovered a very strange animal.E: Yup!R: We’re all curious about it, and this is the reason why we invited you here today.E: OK.R: I have a report from you in my hand. So tell us: Why did you name the animal “Dymi”?E: This is quite interesting, because I was extremely attracted by its everlasting alert and dynamic behavior the first time I saw it. The word “Dymi” actually came from dynamic, one might say.R: Thank you. Now, what do you mean by “it lives in every appropriate place”?E: Well, it’s very odd that I found the animal never lived in a specific place. It can be found in a cave, in the grass, or in a nest left by other animals, in a tree, and so forth. And it only takes naps, half an hour or so each time.R: Where do you think the significance lies since we’ve found the animal?E: I believe we can get to know more about ourselves—the human being—by making a detailed study of the animal. Because I find the animal closely related to us to some extent. It takes protein, fiber, fat, and vitamins from food。課內(nèi)閱讀練習(xí)答案 Part One Preparation1.

How to Describe It?SampleAs far as I know, elephants are the strongest among all the animals that exist in the world. Elephants are very big and heavy, even in their infancy. It’s not unusual to find a baby elephant that weighs over a ton. Also, its skin is so thick that an elephant rarely gets hurt or injured either in their daily life or when attacked by others. Even with so many strong factors, elephants have never gained the glorious titles such as the king of the jungle. They are mildtempered, but fierce animals like tigers, lions and wolves dare not disturb or attack them because an adult elephant can easily tread on and kill them while the smaller, aggressive animals can do nothing harmful to this giant.As for which animal is the most beautiful, I’d like to vote for the tiger.
