What’s this animal
渡渡鸟：
该物种是仅产于印度洋毛里求斯岛上一种不会飞的鸟。体型可比拟天鹅，也有明显的两性异形。体长70-90厘米，体重17-28千克。是一种体形丰满的大鸟，全身覆盖着柔软的灰色羽毛，羽毛为棕色或灰色，雌鸟毛色较雄鸟浅。雌鸟一次产下一颗卵，由雌鸟和雄鸟共同孵育。以水果和种子为食。
它在被人类发现后仅仅200年的时间里，便由于人类的捕杀和人类活动的影响于1681年彻底绝灭，堪称是除恐龙之外最著名的已灭绝动物之一。

You may think I'm just a character in Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland. Actually, there used to be thousands of us-for
real. But now you can only see us in museums.
Because most readers now can only see a dodo in books, films or museums.
Why is the dodo “just a character” to some readers
Read Paragraph 1 and answer the question.
2 We lived on an island in the Indian Ocean. In the happy old days, there was plenty of food to eat. All the other animals were friendly. What a peaceful and safe life!
3 However, in 1598, humans arrived. They cut down the trees and our lovely forest was gone. They hunted us because we were slow and couldn't fly. What's more, their pigs, cats and dogs ate our eggs. As a result, we soon died out.
What happened to dodos
Read Paragraph 2-3 and answer the question.
no trees-----no place to live
no eggs------no future generation
no lives----- the dodo population falls
4 So today we are standing in museums around the world. When you see us, please remember our sad story. The world is full of fantastic animals. Please try your best to help them. Make them as happy as a clam, not as dead as a dodo.
Read Paragraph 4 and answer the question.
What do “as happy as a clam” and “as dead as a dodo” mean
as happy as a clam:
非常开心，满足，舒适。这个短语的完整形式是“as happy as a clam at high water”，意思是在涨潮时，蛤蜊可以自由地在沙滩上活动，因此非常快乐和满足。
as dead as a dodo:
形容某事物已经完全消失或绝迹，无法复活。
