21、 kind of bird that was very large. You might not think it was a bird at all because the dodo could not fly. It was a member of the chicken family. It lived happily and safely until people arrived. European sailors (水手) found those birds in the 16th century on Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean. Wh

22、en the sailors found the strange birds that could not fly, they were surprised. The Europeans on Mauritius Island and the pigs they brought with them found the birds very delicious. So large numbers of dodos were killed and no living dodos were found on the island in the following years. Later, the

23、samples（标本） of some dodos were brought to England in the 17th century for the future study. In fact, the extinction（灭绝）of dodos was caused by people. This was how the phrase “as dead as dodo” came. It teaches us a big lesson. If we are not able to get on with nature, we will lose the things more than we would expect. And we should stop the activities that will be bad for the environment or other animals.,( )1.When did the European sailors find dodos? A. In the 15th century. B. In the 16th century. C.
