阅读短文,回答下列问题。
A group of swans flew down to a beach. There was a crow(乌鸦)jumping around. The crow watched them and looked down on them.
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No. That's not for you. Let's have a flying competition. I'll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, did other flying tricks, and then came down and looked at the swan proudly.
Now it was the swan's turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(评论)about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn't see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to try to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I'm in trouble because of pride(骄傲)! If you don't help me, I'll lose my life...”
The swan took pity on him, took him on his back and flew back to the beach.
1. Where were the group of swans?
2. Why did the crow want to have a flying competition with the swans?
3. Who do you think was better at flying in the competition? Why?

阅读短文，回答下列问题。
一群天鹅飞到了一片海滩上。有一只乌鸦在周围跳来跳去。乌鸦看着它们，还看不起它们。
“你们根本没有飞行技巧！”它对天鹅们说，“你们能做的就只是扇动翅膀。你们能在空中翻转吗？不能。那不是你们能做到的事。我们来进行一场飞行比赛吧。我会让你们看看什么才是真正的飞行！”
其中一只天鹅接受了挑战。乌鸦飞起来，开始展示它的技巧。它盘旋飞行，还做了其他飞行特技，然后落下来，骄傲地看着那只天鹅。
现在轮到天鹅了。它飞起来，然后开始飞越海洋。乌鸦在它后面飞，对它的飞行做出各种各样的评论。它们一直飞啊飞，直到看不见陆地，四周只有水。乌鸦的评论越来越少了。它现在太累了，以至于很难停留在空中，还得努力不让自己掉进水里。
天鹅说：“兄弟，你为什么一直碰水呢？那是另一个特技吗？”
“不是。”乌鸦说。它知道自己输掉了比赛。“我因为骄傲陷入了困境！如果你不帮我，我就会失去生命……”
天鹅同情它，把它驮在背上，飞回了海滩。
1. 这群天鹅在哪里？______
2. 乌鸦为什么想要和天鹅们进行一场飞行比赛？______
3. 你认为在比赛中谁更擅长飞行？为什么？______
