    People sometimes say, “It’s raining cats and dogs!” when there is a heavy rain. Nobody has ever really seen cats and dogs falling from the sky, but there have been many reports of other strange things “raining” down. In 1956, the people of a town in the USA saw a small black cloud in the sky. It started to rain from the cloud normally, but only in a small area. The cloud then turned white, and fish started to fall to the ground. Most of them were still alive.

    During a storm in July 1901, in Minneapolis, people heard something falling from the sky that did not sound like rain. When they went outside, they found all types of frogs covering four streets.

    There are other reports of strange “rains” failing from the sky including worms, insects and snakes.

    Can these strange “rains” be explained by science? Scientists usually say that a tornado (龙卷风) has picked up the animals from a river or ocean, carried them for miles, and then dropped them somewhere else. But this does not completely explain all of them. On May 15, 1890, in Italy, there was a rain of birds’ blood. Scientists said that flying birds must have been torn (撕碎) to pieces by strong winds. But if so, why did only their blood fall from the sky , and not other parts of their bodies? And anyway, there were no strong winds that day!

    1. What does it mean when people say, “It’s raining cats and dogs”?

    A. Cats and dogs are falling from the sky.

    B. It’s raining heavily.

    C. Animals started to fall to the ground.

    D. There is a black cloud.

    2.Which of the following has not been reported as strange things failing from the sky?

    A. Cats and dogs. B. Worms and insects.

    C. Fish and blood. D. Snakes and frogs.

    3.According to scientists, what can move things from the ground to the sky?

    A. Storms. B. Rains.

    C. Clouds. D. Tornadoes.

    4.Scientists’ explanation for rain of blood is that ________.

    A. the tornado picked up the birds’ blood

    B. there were no strong winds that day

    C. flying birds were torn into pieces by strong winds

    D. those birds were bleeding while flying

    Birds protect themselves by always listening and watching for(当心) danger. At the smallest sign of it, they will fly away. If they cannot fly they are often able to swim fast, or run quickly. Some birds make themselves look bigger and more dangerous by fluttering(抖动) their feathers.

    Another important protection for many birds is their color. Their feathers often have colors. The colors match the things around their nests(巢). Some birds change their colors with the seasons. In winter they are white to match the snow. In summer they are brown to match the ground. Why do some birds die out?

    When people cut down forests to build houses and factories, they destroy(破坏) the homes and food of birds. If the birds have nowhere else to go and nothing to eat, they die out.
