Bats.
2
Hi friends!
3
Today we are going to learn all about bats.
4
And if you want to read along with us, check out learnbright.org to find this lesson plan.
5
What are bats?
6
The only mammals that fly are bats, which is why some people mistake them for birds when they are in the sky.
7
But bats are more closely related to you than they are to a bird.
8
Plus, bats don't have feathers.
9
Instead, they have fur in various colors, such as gray, tan, brown, or black.
10
While bats live worldwide.
11
Most of them live in the tropics.
12
And most of them like to rest in dark places like caves, hollow trees, or even in attics.
13
But a few like to rest on rocks or trees.
14
There are over 1,300 species or types of bats.
15
Depending on the species, when their wings are spread open, they can measure from 6 inches to 5 feet across.
16
That's probably taller than you!
17
Their wings, which are their hands, are made of thin layers of bare skin, which join their long fingers together.
18
Bat wings stretch from the end of their long hands down to their legs.
19
They also have huge ears that point forward.
20
Large groups of bats are called a collective, cauldron, or colony, when they are swarming.
21
Bats prefer to live in groups and hang upside down by their feet while sleeping.
22
Scientists think sleeping upside down helps them escape predators because they can quickly drop into flight.
23
In addition, they are nocturnal and prefer to sleep during the day and hunt for food at night.
24
What do bats eat?
25
If you are a night flying insect, watch out for bats.
26
Some bats eat mice, reptiles, birds, and other smaller bats.
27
But most bats eat nothing but insects.
28
Small bats, the size of an adult thumb, can eat about 4 to 8 grams, that's about 2 grapes, of insects each night.
29
You might be thinking that's not a lot.
30
And when you take one million bats that eat insects every night, that's a lot of insects.
31
It's actually about a thousand metric tons.
32
Other bats eat small animals, like birds, frogs, mice, or fish.
33
Many bats prefer to eat fruit, nectar, and pollen from flowers.
34
But the vampire bat of South and Central America feeds on the blood of large birds and mammals.
35
Other interesting facts.
36
While they are flying, bats send out a cry from their mouths or noses that is so high-pitched people cannot hear it.
37
The sound helps them figure out the distance they are from particular objects and the size of the object.
38
The sound of the cry bounces off of objects and echoes back to the bat.
39
Using the sound waves, they can create a picture of exactly what's around them.
40
This is called echolocation.
41
Echolocation enables bats to avoid flying into objects in their path and to locate insects to eat.
42
When they find an insect, they trap it with their wings or tail and then reach over to put it in their mouth.
43
Unfortunately, chasing and eating insects using echolocation often makes their flight pattern look erratic or uneven rather than smooth like birds.
44
The saying, blind as a bat,
45
is inaccurate because bats have excellent eyesight and extraordinary hearing.
46
The bat is so unique that some ancient civilizations worshipped them.
47
For example, the Aztecs had many different gods, and their god of the dead was called Mclantacutli,
48
and he had a scrunched bat-like face with clawed hands and feet.
49
Why are bats important to the environment?
50
Just like bees and butterflies, Bats are pollinators as they fly from plant to plant in search of food.
51
Hundreds of plants, like bananas, mangoes, and avocados, rely on bats to pollinate them.
52
Bats also help spread seeds for nuts, figs, and cacao, the main ingredient in chocolate.
53
Without bats, we might not have delicious chocolate desserts.
54
They also play an extremely important, or essential, role in pest control.
55
By eating literally tons of insects a night, they help stop crop damage and decrease pesticide use.
56
But sadly, bats are declining across the globe.
57
People kill bats when they don't have to, because they don't understand their importance to the ecosystem.
58
And because of human progress and activity, bats are losing many of their caves for shelter, causing habitat loss.
59
And since 2006, 5 million bats have died have died from White Nose Syndrome disease.
60
But with knowledge and protection, we can help the numbers of bats soar again.
61
We have just learned some pretty bat-tastic facts.
62
Let's review.
63
Why is the bat population shrinking?
64
Where did you find that information?
65
The bat population is shrinking because people kill bats when they don't have to, and because of human progress and activity.
66
Why do scientists think that bats sleep upside down?
67
Scientists think sleeping upside down helps them escape predators because they can quickly drop into flight.
68
True or false?
69
Bats are nocturnal.
70
True!
71
Bats are nocturnal.
72
Fantastic work, friends!

關於本課
在本課中，學習者將會深入瞭解蝙蝠這一獨特的生物。通過觀看影片並閱讀內容，您將能夠理解蝙蝠的生活習性、飲食及其在生態系統中的重要性。同時，此課也適合進行英語口語練習，幫助您提高英語表達能力。
關鍵詞彙與短語
- 蝙蝠 (bat) - 一種唯一能飛行的哺乳動物。
- 集體 (colony) - 蝙蝠群體的稱呼。
- 夜行性 (nocturnal) - 習慣於夜間活動。
- 超音波 (echolocation) - 蝙蝠用來導航的聲音技術。
- 授粉者 (pollinators) - 像蝙蝠一樣幫助傳遞花粉的動物。
- 食物鏈 (food chain) - 顯示食物如何在生物中流動的圖示。
- 生態系統 (ecosystem) - 動植物與環境之間的相互作用。
練習建議
進行英語影子跟讀時，您可以嘗試根據影片的速度和語調進行模仿。蝙蝠相關的內容通常會以輕鬆、趣味的方式展現，這恰好適合用於英語口語練習。建議您在觀看時，先聽一段內容，然後暫停並立即重複所聽到的句子。這種方式將有助於提高您的發音和流利度。
為獲得最佳效果，您可以在專門的 shadowing site 上尋找與蝙蝠相關的更多材料，進行更深入的英語口語練習。此外，您還可以通過重複跟讀影片中的內容，增強對詞彙的記憶和理解。
總之，跟隨蝙蝠的有趣事實進行英語學習，不僅能提高吸收語音的能力，還能讓您在輕鬆愉悅的氛圍中增加對自然的認識。通過看YouTube學英語，結合影子跟讀的技巧，您將在口語表達上取得顯著進步。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | are spread · are made · are called |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | have died · have just learned |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | bats, which is · wings, which are |
| 用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事 | might be · might not have |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
