Bird Migration候鳥遷徒

秋高氣爽，北雁南飛，又到了候鳥遷徙的季節(jié)。當你抬頭看見“人”字形或“一”字形的雁陣時，是否思考過它們是在跟隨著誰的指引，又將要飛往何方？“鳥的遷徙是一個關于承諾的故事，一種對于回歸的承諾。”著名導演雅克·貝漢在紀錄片《鳥的遷徙》中如此說道。讓我們在一堂科學課上走近這個偉大的“承諾”，看渺小的鳥兒如何穿越萬水千山，抵達故鄉(xiāng)，書寫生命的奇跡。

One day， Mr Li gives his class a special science lesson.

“Today， we are going to learn about an amazing phenomenon（現(xiàn)象） called bird migration.” Then， he holds up a colorful picture of birds flying in a V-shape（“人”字形）.

The classroom is buzzing with excitement. Mr Li begins to explain， “Bird migration is when birds travel long distances（距離） from one place to another. They do this to find better weather and more food.”

Li Ming raises his hand and asks， “But how do they know where to go？” Mr Li smiles and replies（回答）， “Birds have a special sense of direction（方向感）. They use the position（位置） of the sun and stars， as well as landmarks（地標） like rivers and mountains， to guide them on their journey.”

Xiao Mei jumps in， “Do all birds migrate？” Mr Li says， “No， not all birds migrate. Some birds， like sparrows（麻雀） and pigeons（鴿子）， stay in one place all year round. But many birds， especially those that live in cold places， fly to warm places when winter comes.”

Chen Wei wonders， “How far do birds migrate？” Mr Li explains， “Birds can travel thousands of kilometers during migration. Some birds， like the Arctic terns（北極燕鷗）， fly all the way from the Arctic（北極） to Antarctica（南極洲） and back again， covering a distance of over 40，000 kilometers！ So， next time you see birds flying in a V-shape across the sky， remember that they might be going on an incredible（令人驚嘆的） adventure！”

As the class ends， the students realize that even tiny creatures are able to accomplish（完成） great things！

讀完這個故事，你對候鳥遷徙有了多少了解呢？下面這群候鳥正準備遷徙，只有將正確的表達連在一起才能抵達目的地。它們的目的地是A、B、C、D中的哪個呢？用故事里學到的知識幫它們找找吧！
