Mr Wu is interviewing some Grade Nine students for a class project called Animal World.
Mr Wu: Some animals like living in groups, others don't. Which is better, and which type would you be?
Simon: I'd be a zebra! Group living means better protection against enemies.
Mr Wu: And why a zebra?
Simon: If enemies went for me, my buddies would circle around me and drive them away. Plus, I look smart in stripes! Oh, did I mention zebras travel in huge numbers? I won't get lonely any more.
Rhona: Well, I'd be in an elephant community. Making friends is much easier and females help to look after each other's babies. Scientists also discover animals that live in groups live longer than others.
Mr Wu: Would you be an elephant or a zebra, Amy?
Amy: I might be an insect, instead. One kind of worker bees cares for the young. I also love how the bees huddle (依偎) together to stay warm over winter.
Lily: I think I'd prefer to be a leopard (豹), living on my own.
Simon: A leopard? But doesn't it get into trouble without a group to back it up?
Lily: Not really. Leopards are amazing hunters on their own—they can sneak up on prey (猎物) quietly. If I were part of a big group, there'd be more competition (竞争) for food. Imagine having to fight over every meal! Living alone means I get to keep what I catch.
Charlie: Well, I'd rather go alone too, like skunks (臭鼬).
Simon: Really, Charlie—with no friends to help you?
Charlie: Skunks don't need groups to help them. They shoot their stink spray (臭液)—that could be fun. And a big group might attract enemies. It's easier to stay hidden if there's only one of you. And animal groups seem fine if you're a leader but less cool if you're just a member.
Mr Wu: There are often fights for higher levels in the group.
Charlie: And fights for partners or food too. I'm not competitive—and I'd hate getting hurt. And you're more likely to get ill in a group because disease could spread fast.
Simon: So, which is better?
Mr Wu: It depends on the environment and the animal. Either being alone or being in a group can help you survive.

阅读下面的对话，并在表格的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
吴老师正在为一个名为“动物世界”的班级项目采访一些九年级的学生。
吴老师：有些动物喜欢群居，有些则不喜欢。哪种更好，你会属于哪种类型呢？
西蒙：我会是一只斑马！群居意味着能更好地抵御敌人。
吴老师：那为什么是斑马呢？
西蒙：如果敌人攻击我，我的伙伴们会围在我身边把它们赶走。另外，我身上的条纹让我看起来很帅气！哦，我有没有提到斑马会成群结队地迁徙？我再也不会感到孤独了。
罗娜：嗯，我会生活在大象群体中。交朋友会容易得多，而且雌性大象会帮忙照顾彼此的幼崽。科学家还发现，群居的动物比其他动物活得更久。
吴老师：艾米，你会选择成为大象还是斑马呢？
艾米：我可能会选择成为一种昆虫。有一种工蜂会照顾幼虫。我也喜欢蜜蜂们在冬天依偎在一起取暖的样子。
莉莉：我觉得我更愿意成为一只豹子，独自生活。
西蒙：一只豹子？但是没有群体的支持，它不会遇到麻烦吗？
莉莉：其实不会。豹子独自捕猎就很厉害——它们可以悄悄地靠近猎物。如果我是一个大群体的一员，食物的竞争会更激烈。想象一下每一顿饭都要争抢！独自生活意味着我能保留我捕获的食物。
查理：嗯，我也宁愿独自生活，就像臭鼬一样。
西蒙：真的吗，查理——没有朋友来帮助你？
查理：臭鼬不需要群体来帮助它们。它们会喷射臭液——那可能会很有趣。而且一个大群体可能会吸引敌人。如果只有你一个，就更容易隐藏起来。而且，如果你是群体的领导者，动物群体似乎还不错，但如果你只是一个成员，就没那么好了。
吴老师：群体中经常会为了更高的地位而争斗。
查理：也会为了配偶或食物而争斗。我不喜欢竞争——而且我讨厌受伤。而且在群体中你更容易生病，因为疾病会传播得很快。
西蒙：那么，哪种更好呢？
吴老师：这取决于环境和动物本身。无论是独处还是群居都能帮助你生存。
