五、阅读短文,根据短文内容选择正确答案。
Winter may be pretty. It is nice to see snow on trees. But it is dangerous, too. Because of low temperatures, animals are at risk. They can get frostbitten (冻伤) or worse. Many plants stop growing during winter. Some plants die. Snow and ice may cover the ground. It can be hard for animals to find food during winter. They have to get through this period in many different ways.
Birds can fly. They leave the north in winter and return in spring. It's a good way to avoid the cold. For example, alpine swifts (高山雨燕) living in Switzerland in summer always move to West Africa for winter. But to do that, the birds have to fly as long as 200 days without rest.
Another good way is to sleep through the cold. For some animals like frogs, snakes and bears, they fall into a deep sleep during winter. Their bodies slow down to save energy. They don't eat. And they depend on their fat (脂肪) to live. They do this until food returns.
Some animals store (储存) food in their homes. They don't sleep all winter, but they move much less. They live on what they saved in summer and autumn. This is what squirrels, beavers and raccoons (海狸和浣熊) do. Other animals tough it out. They don't leave or hide. They must try to live. Sometimes nature helps them out. Some animals grow thicker coats in winter and some animals change their color as seasons change. For example, the arctic fox is brown in summer. But its coat turns white as soon as winter comes.
