* * Listening, speaking and writing Learning Goals: To help students predict some information and understand the general idea and topic after listening To help students improve their speaking as well as writing 根据构造和功能的不同，鸟的羽毛可分为正羽、绒羽和纤羽三种。 1．正羽 被覆在体外的大型羽毛，由羽轴和羽片构成。羽轴下段不具羽毛的部分叫做羽根，着生在皮肤中。羽轴上段的两侧发出许多羽支，每个羽支再向两侧发出许多羽小支，一侧的羽小支上生有小钩，一侧的羽小支上有槽，使相邻的羽小支互相钧结， Introduction 形成结构紧密而具有弹性的羽片。正羽有飞翔、护体、保温等作用。2. 绒羽 羽轴短；羽支柔软，丛生在羽轴的顶端；羽小支细长，没有小钩，不形成羽片。绒羽密生在正羽的下面，有保温、护体等作用。3. 纤羽 羽轴细而长，羽支很少，生在羽轴顶端，多无羽小支。纤羽散生在眼缘、喙基部和正羽的下面，有感觉、护体等作用。 鸟类的羽毛定期更换，叫做换羽。多数鸟类的羽毛在秋季全部脱落更换，更换后的新羽叫做冬羽，待第二年春季再更换一部分或全部，更换后的羽毛叫做夏羽。冬羽和夏羽的颜色往往不一样。飞羽和尾羽的更换一般左右对称，即成对脱落成对长新羽，这样在换羽过程中可不影响飞翔。 Do you know some other help of birds’ feathers?
