Many of us enjoy watching animals in the world. But do you know they can teach us.
Geese(雁), for example, teach a very good lesson about 1 .In the fall, Canada geese fly to the warm south to 2 Canada’s cold winter. They lift off in no order. Yet 3 they form a V shape, with one bird leading the group.
This V shape allows geese to 4 energy. When the front bird moves its wings up and down, the resulting force of the air lifts the next one. This continues down the line. The bird 5 has the hardest job. When it gets 6 ,it moves behind, and another bird moves into the lead. By sharing the role, the group can travel great distances. Geese flying in a V shape can fly 70 percent farther without 7 than birds flying alone.
During the long flying journey, gees
e communicate with one another. They honk(鸣叫) to 8 the birds up front to keep up the speed. They also cheer each other up 9 working toward a common goal.
