【题干】Hares and Rabbits<br />One of the gentlest of all animals is the hare. When you consider how mild<br />this animal is, you might wonder how it can survive in a world full of enemies.<br />But then you've also probably noticed its strong hind (后面的) legs. Those legs<br />give it plenty of speed. And you know how rapidly hares and rabbits breed (繁殖).<br />That's another reason why they manage to survive.<br />Hares and rabbits have long, sharp front teeth. Their hind legs are longer than<br />their front legs so that they run faster uphill than downhill. When they are hunted,<br />they use tricks such as taking huge leaps to break the smell or signal danger to<br />each other by hitting the ground with their hind feet. Hares and rabbits are purely<br />vegetarians (素食者). They can live very well on the inner bark of trees.<br />There are many differences between hares and rabbits. Hares are larger, and<br />their feet and ears are longer. Hares do not dig holes or live in groups, as do<br />rabbits. Hares are born open- eyed and with thick fur, while rabbits are born blind<br />and hairless.<br />North America is the home of many different types of hares. One of the best<br />known is the jack hare, a large hare with very long ears. Jacks are so fast that they<br />can sometimes make a leap of six meters.<br />The March hare, whom we know from Alice in Wonderland, is a common<br />European hare. In March, they are always busy in mating, thus acquiring its name.
Unlike hares, rabbits are social animals, living together in holes. A rabbit may
mate when it is six months old and
its young are born within a month. So if the
rabbit has no natural enemies, it can become quite a pest.
