【正文】 tening about the dodo Have you ever heard of the dodo, an animal that has also disappeared from the earth? The Mauritius Dodo, more monly just Dodo, was a meterhigh flightless bird of the island of Mauritius. The Dodo, which is now extinct, lived on fruit and nested on the ground. (Pictures) Next we are going to listen to the tape and do exercises 1amp。2 on page 30 Listen again and fill in the blanks: Once upon a time, I lived on earth too. I was called “dodo”. My home was an island called Mauritius. I was curious and kindhearted and quite different from most of the other animals there. I liked to make friends with the other animals and never quarreled. I had no enemies . My best friends were the other birds, the monkeys and all the other dodos of course. There were many of us. We were birds too but we were large and only had small wings . My favourite activity was to wander along the beach and wait till the insects were ready to be eaten. One day a new animal came to my island. It was called man and at first we seemed to be good friends. Man followed me everywhere and I gave him some of my insects to eat. But one day I wondered where my other dodo friends were. Several of them seemed to have disappeared . I asked the other birds and the monkeys. They all said the same thing. “Your friends are being hunted and killed while you are walking on the beach.” Had man eaten them? I could not believe it. So I asked my friend, man, if it was true. He seemed surprised. “I have not seen the other dodos lately.” he said, “Perhaps they are being killed and eaten by some other animals.” When more dodos disappeared , I set a trap. I pretended to go for my walk but instead I hid in the forest and waited. Sure enough man came along. He ran after the last of my dodo friends and I saw him kill her. I felt so angry that I rushed out straight at man’s spear. He killed me too. I was the last of my species . After that there were no more dodos in the world. My advice is : be careful who you trust. Retell what happened to dodo in your own words. IV. Homework The dodo seems in trouble. What can we do to help him?
