Rising temperatures could mean the end of some migrating animals. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another. 36 Recently, a report said that changes in any of the places can cause serious problems. “These animals have developed their migration routes (路线) over thousands of years. 37 It seems impossible for them to change their habits in decades,” said the report writer Dr Robert Hepworth.
38 Scientists find that with higher temperatures, far more female (雌的) turtles were born than male turtles. 39 Also, turtles are more likely to get sick as the water gets warmer. More illnesses will be common in the hot environment.
40 Now some projects are already working! “We need governments all over the world to start taking action. We should make full use of every minute,” said Dr Hepworth.
A. It is not all bad news, though.
B. These animals will change their habits fast.
C. Whales may travel through huge areas of the ocean.
D. Turtles are largely affected by ing temperatures.
E. For whales, the main problem is the warming water.
F. In parts of Malaysia, almost all turtle hatchlings (幼龟) are female.
G. But the climate will change very fast over the next 25 to 50 years.

A man tried to catch monkeys to sell them for money. The monkeys, however, were
very c 41. The man’s plan failed again and again.
A little boy noticed the man’s e 42 over the past few days and said he could help. He took a pot (壶) w 43 a thin neck and put peanuts (花生) in it. He then took the pot under a tree and told the man, “We are going to have a m 44 in a few hours.”
Some monkeys soon found the pot. One of them put its hand into the pot to get peanuts. But soon it found that it couldn’t pull its h 45 out of the pot with the peanuts. The monkey was very afraid and started to cry. Other monkeys tried to help it but failed.
The boy and the man heard the noise. As the boy came near to the monkeys with a bag, the other monkeys all ran away except the o 46 with its hand in the pot. The boy caught the monkey e 47 because it’s almost impossible for it to run with a pot. The man was s 48 and asked the boy, “Why was it so h 49 for the monkey to get its hand out?” The boy laughed and said, “The monkey could get its hand out if it let go of the peanuts in the pot, but it just wasn’t w 50 to let go. They never are.”
