段落2

MALE PROFESSOR

All right, so I-I've got a good example of this.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

There's a bird, a species of crow, that lives near the water,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

and it feeds on a type of shellfish that has a hard outer shell.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

In order to eat this shellfish,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

the bird has to crack open its hard shell.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

So when this bird feeds,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

what it does is it dives down out of the air into shallow water,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

grabs a shellfish in its mouth, then carries the shellfish up in the air....

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

It then drops the shellfish

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

lets it fall onto the rocks below.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

When the shellfish hits the rocks, its shell cracks and splits open,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

and the bird can eat it.

段落3

Now this bird, this crow, doesn't just swoop down, grab the first shellfish it sees, then fly up to any height and let it fall.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Instead, it does two things:

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

first, it carefully selects only the biggest shellfish;

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

that means it's going to get the biggest possible meal for its efforts.Second, it carries the shellfish up to a specific height, about five meters,and drops it from there.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

If the bird dropped the shellfish from a lower height,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

it would have to pick it up and drop it too many times in order to break the shell.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

On the other hand, if the bird carried the shellfish up to a higher altitude,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

an altitude higher than is necessary to crack the shell,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

it'd be wasting energy.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

So this bird expends just the right amount of energy-no more, no less-

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

that it needs to obtain just the right kind of food.
