五、根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
Hello, friends! Welcome back to our fun TV show. Today, we're going to learn some cool things about animals. Get ready to be surprised by what these animals can do!
Do you know that koalas（考拉）have something special on their hands? They have two thumbs（拇指）! These cute animals use their extra thumbs to climb trees really well. They have a special way to hold tree branches really well so that they can sit and eat their favourite leaves.
Then, let's talk about deer. Do you see a deer stop suddenly? It's not because they are afraid. In fact, they are planning to listen very carefully. By doing this, they can tell if there is any danger nearby. This keeps them safe in the forest.
Next, let's learn about dolphins. These clever animals are really good at making friends. They usually swim as a group. If a dolphin is not feeling well, its friends will help it find food. What's more, dolphins who have good friends are more likely to live longer.
