五 新情境 知识科普 阅读短文，选择正确的答案。
（10分）
Some animals are good weather reporters（天气预报员）! They can tell us the rain is on its way. Ants will move to higher places when there is going to be heavy rain. Dragonflies will fly low. Their wings are getting wet because of the water vapour in the air. Fish will come out of the water because there is not enough air in the water. When a dog takes a bath in the water, we know it is going to rain. When sheep don’t go home and eat in the same place for a long time, the next day will be a rainy day. Bees are the best weather reporters. They can forecast different weather. When the bees stay in their hives（蜂巢） in the morning, we know it is going to be a rainy day. When a lot of bees fly out of their hives in the morning, it will be a good day.
