填的單詞的正確形式。（每空一詞）

The ostrich is the largest bird in the world. It lives in nature in Africa, but people raise it all over the world for its meat.

The ostrich has long skinny legs, a big body with small wings, a long neck, and a dangerous long beak. Even though it has wings, it can’t fly. But they are sometimes useful. They help a lot with balance ( 平 衡 ) when the ostrich is running at full speed( 速 度 ) and needs to change directions. The ostrich usually weighs between 200 and 300 pounds and can grow to 9 feet tall. Its large body is covered with feathers.

The ostrich is famous for its speed on the ground. Its powerful legs help it reach speeds of 40 miles per hour! Ostriches can also use their strong legs to kick any enemy or even kill a man or a lion. However, the ostrich will just use its speed to run away from any danger most of the time.

Ostriches eat almost everything, such as plants, insects, and small animals like lizards. They often live in groups. A group will have around ten birds, but some groups even have 100 birds. This way the whole group can help to protect the eggs. Ostrich eggs are the biggest eggs of any animal.

In fact, ostriches don’t put their head in the ground often. What they really do is to lie down and put their head and neck flat on the ground to hide. You can just see their body far away, so it appears as if they have put their head in a hole in the ground. Ostriches can not only kick with powerful feet, but also the 4 inch long claws (爪) on their feet.
