The distinctive Northerm Bald Ibis( 秃头朱鹦),hunted nearly to extinction by the 17th century, was brought

back by raising and rewilding efforts over the last two decades.But the birds don't

know which direction to fly to migrate(迁徙)without wild-born elders leading the way.So a team of scientists and

conservationists took on the role of parents and flight instructors.

Biologist Johannes Fritz and the Waldrapp team,an Austrian conservation group,have been teaching the birds

their migration paths.Since 2002,they've increased the Central European population from zero to nearly 300

birds,changing the species' status from"critically endangered" to"endangered."

To prepare them for travel,the chicks are taken away,when they are just a few days old,to their human parents

in the hope of"imprinting"-when the birds will bond with those humans to

finally trust them along the migration route.Then the human parents sit on the back of a super light aircraft,waving

and shouting words of support as it flies through the air.

It's an odd scene:The aircraft looks like a flying car with a huge fan on the back and a yellow parachute

keeping it in the air.Still,three dozen birds follow it sailing over the Alps.

Fritz,inspired by"Father Goose"Bill Lishman,who taught geese to fly alongside his ultra- light plane,leads the

birds on their migration.

The first successful independent migration was in 2011,and more birds have followed the 550- kilometer route

each year.The team hopes to have over 350 birds by 2028,making the population self-sustaining. However,climate

change has affected their migration. In response,the team piloted a new route to southern Spain in 2023,which is

longer and more challenging.

The entire journey to Spain could take up to 50 days and end in early October.But Fritz says, "The effort is

bigger than just the Northern Bald Ibises. It's about paving the way for other threatened migratory species to fly."

24.What is the major challenge faced by the Northern Bald Ibises during their migration?

A.Long distances. B.Absence of guidance.

C.Human hunting. D.Limited resting spots.

25.Why are the birds taken away when they are just a few days old?

A.To improve their flying skills. B.To show them the migration route.

C.To build an emotional tie with humans. D.To test their independence from their parents.

26.What do the research team do during their flight?

A.They shout like elder birds. B.They try new migratory routes.

C.They encourage the birds to follow. D.They use an airplane to find the way.

27.What are Fritz's words in the last paragraph mainly about?

A.The worth of the conservation effort B.The role of technology in the research

C.The need to help other migratory species D.The promising future of wildlife migration

Arm wrestling(扳手腕)was one ofmy favorite ways of playing with my brothers growing up. It allowed my

younger brother and me to test our strength without getting tackled.I also put up a good fight when arm wresting

with my older brother and his friends.Their greater strength and experience made the challenge even more

interesting.Every match seemed to end in a good laugh, no matter who won.

Now I'm a scientist who studies animals in the wild.I have seen that playing is a great way to socialize;there is

so much more to play than fun and games.When humans and other animals play, they are building trust with

siblings and friends.They learn how far they can push their partners before anyone becomes angry or physically

hurt.That's called"testing boundaries.”

Older playmates may self-handicap,appearing to be less competent than they really are to help younger players

learn skills and explore their abilities.Play offers a safe space,where everyone knows the rules and can experiment

with new ways to move,think,and respond to others.

Over the past 30 years,I've learned a lot about play by watching young male elephants test their strength

through sparring(拳击)games with their friends and superiors.Group sparring matches are common at sunset,when

several different elephant families show up at the water hole to drink.

After the initial excitement of the arrival and a good long drink,young males slip away from the sides of their

watchful moms and aunts to form sparring rings.An elder sister makes sure that the playing doesn't get out of

hand,so she is ever present with a trunk on the back or over the head to calm the enthusiasm.That way,the younger

males don't end up on the bottom of the pile.

Watching young elephants spar reminds me that play should be part of our everyday schedule—the less

structure,the better.

29.What benefit of play does the author emphasize?

A.It brings fun. B.It enables boundary breaking.

C.It settles conflicts. D.It develops socializing skills.

30.How do older playmates help the younger to learn during playtime?

A.By pretending to be weaker. B.By warning them of risks.

C.By testing their competence. D.By teaching necessary skills.

31.How would the author describe the elephant's sparring games?

A.Safe and fair. B.Not strictly controlled.
