Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Казырбаева, Дворецкая 11 класс, Титул: 5 Read the text and put the sentences A — F back into the gaps. ANIMAL MIGRATION Seasonal migration of wildlife from one part of the world to another is a most miraculous and mysterious marvel of nature. Geese fly at great speed. (1)They have been clocked at speed as high as 50 miles an hour. Sometimes they fly 3,000 feet to 10,000 feet above the ground. Geese start their journey after sunset and fly all night and the next day. Their brain guides them by instinct towards their destination. (2) People don’t have inner guidance. Migratory birds use several ways to help them navigate. While travelling on a clear night they use the stars as guides. (3) On cloudy nights, they may be using the Earth’s magnetic field or the wind to help them navigate accurately. While flying during the day, the sun provides help for their precise flight. The ideal weather for geese to travel would be for the wind to be at their back, called «Tail winds». Warm temperatures and a clear night with a starry sky make perfect flying conditions. (4) The birds are like people; they cannot always choose the right weather conditions. Geese fly day and night regardless of the weather until they get to their next stopover point. (5) They carefully scan the ground for any possible danger before they set down. When they land, they’ll eat grass, seeds, and small fish on the marsh or at the lake wherever they stop. If they land in a goose-friendly habitat, they will feed, rest, and wait for good flying weather. They always rest and feed for a few days before taking to the airways. While the wild geese are feeding on the ground they post sentinels. (6) Many say geese are one of the most intelligent of all birds. Despite the saying, «Silly Goose», their intelligence of migration mystifies man.
