Listen to the video and find the missing word.
Winter simply has to be ............ one way or another. Taking an active part is not always ............ . One of the
most ............ ways to survive is also the most silent: simply close down ............ is just what a dormouse does.
So deeply does it hibernate that it's ............ to the touch. For other animals in winter, time also ............ .
While the cold ............ lasts, they must find places to ............ for serious slumbering - places where warmth
and moisture are just right and ............ disturbs the silence. Peacock butterflies - safe from the ............ of
the elements sleeping off winter on the ............ of a castle dungeon. This is how they ' ll be until ............ .
And hanging from the ............ above : lesser horseshoe bats. Their bodies folded within their ............ like
loose umbrellas … their heartbeats ............ to almost nothing … their breathing ............ undetectable.
Here they ' ll ............, clinging on by their toes… barely ............ … until the warmer weather ............ .
RESULTS:
1. Winter simply has to be WITHSTOOD one way or another.
2. Taking an active part is not always NECESSARY.
3. One of the most DRAMATIC ways to survive is also the most silent :
4. simply close down WHICH is just what a dormouse does.
5. So deeply does it hibernate that it ' s COLD to the touch.
6. For other animals in winter, time also STOPS.
7. While the cold WEATHER lasts,
8. they must find places to HIDE for serious slumbering
9. - places where warmth and moisture are just right and NOTHING disturbs the silence.
10. Peacock butterflies - safe from the WORST of the elements
11. sleeping off winter on the WALLS of a castle dungeon.
12. This is how they ' ll be until SPRING.
13. And hanging from the STONES above : lesser horseshoe bats.
14. Their bodies folded within their WINGS like loose umbrellas …
15. their heartbeats SLOWED to almost nothing …
16. their breathing ALMOST undetectable.
17. Here they ' ll STAY, clinging on by their toes …
18. barely ALIVE …
19. until the warmer weather RETURNS.
