Scientists believe that millions of years ago, ancestorsof camels lived in North America. There was a bridge of land overthe Bering Strait that led to Asia. One group of animals movedto Asia. These animals developed into the camels of today. Another group went to South America. This group developed into the llama, an animal in the same family as the camel.There are two types of camels, the dromedary and Bactrian. The dromedary hasone hump and is found mostly in Arabian countries. The Bactrian camel has two humps and is found in Asian countries. All drome-dary camels today are domesticated（驯养）. Bactrian camels can still be found in the wild in areas of Mon-golia and China. The Bactrian camel is shorter and heavier than the dromedary. Also, the pads on its feet are thicker so that it can walk in colder, rockier places than the dromedary.The camel has many interesting characteristics. For example, unlike most animals, it lifts both feet on one side at the same time when it runs. This causes it to rock from side to side when it runs. Another unusual characteristic is the camel’s ability to eat almost any-thing if it becomes hungry enough. It might even eat part of a tent or a basket if it cannot find the grass it prefers.Camels are the best pack animals in the world. They can carry things as heavy as 600 pounds 25 miles a day. They can also go without water for as long as two weeks in winter.You might think that a camel stores some food and water in its hump or humps. This is what human beings thought for many years, but it is not true. A camel’s hump is made of fat and muscle. If a camel has to go without food for several days, it can use the fat in its hump for energy. The camel keeps water in its tissue cells （组织细胞）. Its body does not use the water to cool off the way the human body does. That is why a camel’s body temperature can change, by as much as 11℃. （）1. The dromedary and the Bactrian camels have a lot of differences EXCEPT__________.A. the places they live inB. the things they eatC. the number of humpsD. the appearance they look（）2. Why does a camel rock from side to side when it runs?A. Because it lifts both feet on one side at the same time.B. Because it carries many heavy things every day.C. Because it has too many things stored in its humps.D. Because its pads on its feet are very thick and short.（）3.
