Birds use three gaits: walking, running and hopping.
In walking, the left and the right feet move in turn. Each foot is on the ground for more than half the time, so there are times when both feet are on the ground. In running, each foot is on the ground for less than half the time, and there are times when both feet are off the ground. In hopping, the feet move almost at the same time. This means that for much of the time both feet are off the ground.
Middle-sized and large birds walk at low speeds and either run or hop at higher speeds. Small birds usually do not walk � walking may be too slow for them. It seems that the more time a bird spends in trees, the more likely it is to hop. Perhaps there are wide gaps in a tree between one thin branch and the next, so walking is not a good choice, while on each small branch there is enough room to set both feet down side by side, so hopping seems to make sense.
31. When both feet of a bird are on the ground, the bird is moving by .
A. flying B. walking C. running D. hopping
32. Which of the following shows a bird hopping?
33. Birds in trees usually move by hopping because .
A. there is little room to set their feet on
B. space between the two places are wide
C. trees are high in the air off the ground
D. the birds in the trees are small in size
34. Which of the following usually moves by hopping?
A. A sparrow. B. A duck. C. A goose. D. A chicken.
35. The underlined word “gait” in the first line means .
A. manner of walking B. speed of movement
C. distance of flying D. time of stay in trees
C
