In the sea there are many islands.In its warm waters there are some little ones.We call them“coral islands.”
A coral island is very nice to look at.It looks like a ring of land with trees,grass,and flowers on it.One part of the ring is open to the water.There is a little round lake inside the island.
If you look into this lake,you will see beautiful corals.You may think they are flowers.If you look at a piece of coral,you will see many little holes in it.In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived.These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water.Year after year ,the coral grew higher and higher.At last it grew out of the water.
Then the sea brought it small trees and something else.After some years,these things changed into earth.Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth.Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.
The little seeds grew.In a few years there were plants all over the island.In a few more years there were trees growing there .
So you see,these islands were built little by little.The workers were very small.Do they not teach us a lesson？Can you think what the lesson is？
( )In the sea_________.
there are coral islands in all places B. there are some coral islands
C.the water is always warm D. we can see many flowers
2. ( )A coral island looks like_______.

We know that many animals do not stay in one place.Birds,fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time.They move for different reasons:most of them move to find food more easily,but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes,many birds move to warmer places to find food.Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed.The most famous migration is probably the migration of the fish,which is called “salmon.”This fish is born in fresh wate but it travels many miles to salt water.There it spends its life.When it is old,it returns to its birthplace in fresh water.Then it gives birth and dies.In northern Europe ,there is a kind of mouse.They leave their mountain homes when they became too crowded.They move down to the low land.Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside,and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently,scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster.Every year when the season of the bad weather arrives,the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean.Nobody knows why they do this,and nobody knows where they go.
So,sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another,but at other times we don’t.Maybe living things just like to travel.
( )Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to_______.
give birth B. enjoy warmer weather
C. find food more easily D. find beautiful places
( )The fish called “Salmon”spends a long time in_______.

4. ( )The lobsters move_______.
A.to the fresh water B.at a certain time C.to the undersea D.to find more food
5. ( ) What is the main idea of the passage
A.A nimals move to find food more easily
B.The migration of the fish called “salmon”is the most famous migration
C.Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel
D.Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another,but sometimes we don’t .
