This lets you move freely but will hold you up if you fall. It is important to know how to use your equipment. If you are a new climber, it is best to have lessons. A climber with experience(经验) can help you a lot when you learn to climb.

Ⅳ. Think and say. Use because, so or as a result to answer the questions according to the conversation in the textbook. 口语表达。根据课文中的对话，用because、so、as a result回答问题。

Possible versions:
1. The bird has long wings but weak legs, so it couldn’t take off from the ground. / The bird couldn’t take off from the ground, because it has long wings but weak legs.
2. The students knew little about the bird. As a result, they couldn’t do anything. / The students knew little about the bird, so they couldn’t do anything.

【分析】
首先明确题目要求：根据课文对话，用because、so、as a result这三个因果连接词回答两个问题，需先理清每个问题的因果逻辑：第一个问题是鸟不能起飞的原因，第二个是学生找王晨帮忙的原因。解题时要掌握三个连接词的用法：because引导原因状语从句，可放句首或句中；so是并列连词，连接两个并列分句表结果；as a result是表结果的短语，通常放句首或句中且后加逗号，再结合课文语境组织符合要求的句子。
【解析】
1. 针对第一个问题，因果关系为“鸟有长翅膀但腿弱→不能起飞”，用so连接结果或用because引出原因，表达为：The bird has long wings but weak legs, so it couldn’t take off from the ground. / The bird couldn’t take off from the ground, because it has long wings but weak legs.
2. 针对第二个问题，因果关系为“学生对鸟了解少→找王晨帮忙（或无法做相关事）”，用as a result或so连接，表达为：The students knew little about the bird. As a result, they couldn’t do anything. / The students knew little about the bird, so they couldn’t do anything.
【答案】
Possible versions:
1. The bird has long wings but weak legs, so it couldn’t take off from the ground. / The bird couldn’t take off from the ground, because it has long wings but weak legs.
2. The students knew little about the bird. As a result, they couldn’t do anything. / The students knew little about the bird, so they couldn’t do anything.
