Giraffes are very tall and have long necks for two reasons. First, they eat from the tops of very tall trees. Second, they need to see over the tops of the trees. They can see danger, like a lion, from far away. Then they have time to run away or hide.
The giraffe’s coat is also important to its survival. It has brown spots and is very thick. The spots help the giraffe hide among the trees. The giraffe’s thick coat protects it from the sun.
Two other important characteristics of the giraffe are its large eyes and long, thick eyelashes. With its large eyes it can see very well. The eyelashes protect its eyes. The giraffe sees better than most other large animals in Africa.
Agiraffe’s feet and legs are also important characteristics. The giraffe uses them for protection. It has hard feet, like a cow. It also has very strong legs. If a lion comes too close, the giraffe can kick it on the head. That usually kills thelion.
One last characteristic is the giraffe’s long black tongue. It is about 18 inches long. With their tongues, giraffes get food far above their heads. They also clean their eyes and ears with their tongues. Why is the giraffe’s tongue black? The color protects it from the sun.
Maybe the giraffe looks like four animals, but of course we know that it is not. It is one animal, with many different characteristics. Its characteristics help it survive.

A.Largeears. B.Long neck. C.Black tongue. D. Thickeyelashes. 29. According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT aboutgiraffes?

Do you want to be a singer? Here is some advice for you to learn. 31 This is the foundation（基础）of being a singer. It is true that some singers are not good at singing. But most of the successful singers are those people who are talented and continue to improve their skills of singing.
32 How do they sing? What are their styles? How do they become professional singers? What kind of people like them? Learn from them. But of course, you should remember not to copy them completely. You should be yourself.
33 A voice coach is likely helpful in training your voice. If you keep practicing, you will notice your improvement within a few weeks. It may do harm to your voice if you don’t sing in the right way.
34 Start to get some practical experience by singing wherever and whenever you get a chance to do.Themore yousing, thestrongeryour voice becomes. Remember, your voice isamuscle（肌肉）that needs to beexercised.
35 It’s expensive to buy songs from other people, and it is clearly not the best idea for a new singer. When something important happens in your life, try to put your feelings into a song.
