英语阅读理解There are seabirds as well as land-birds.The most common seabird is the seagull.
There are seabirds as well as land-birds.The most common seabird is the seagull.It has a white body,a white head,and a yellow beak.There is a very,very red spot (斑点) at the very end of the beak,underneath.All seagulls have very strong wings so that they can fly far out to sea.If a seagull flies out too
far,so that it is too tired to fly back to the shore,it does not get
frightened,for it can sit and rest on the waves (海浪).
A seagull’s wings do not get wet because all its feathers have a kind of
oil (油)over them,
so that when the water gets on to the feathers it just runs off again.Gulls
can even sleep on the waves.
Sailors(水手) know a lot about seagulls and they never kill them.When the gulls
fly a long way out to sea,sailors say that it means fine weather is coming.
When the gulls stay near the shore(海岸),sailors say that there will be much wind（风）and rain,and perhaps a storm,
for the gulls know more about the weather than sailors do.
