pacific island near hawaii,. it was the sixth year in a row this bird has hatched a chick. wisdoms species normally lives only 12 to 40 years, while she is able to hatch healthy chicks into her 60s.at breeding time, the laysan albatross will dig out a shallow nest in the ground. the female then lays a single egg. both she and her mate will take turns incubating (孵) the egg until it hatches. more than seven out of every 10 laysan albatrosses nests are on just one island -midway atoll. thats wisdoms home.but her species spends most of its time in the air. in fact, biologists observe that after learning to fly, these birds may not set foot on land for the next three to five years.albatrosses are powerful gliders (滑翔者), with their six-foot, nearly two-meter, wingspan, laysan albatrosses can ride wind currents for hundreds of miles or more. biologists now estimate that wisdom has flown for an unusually large number of miles-between two million and three million. that is equivalent to traveling from earth to the moon and back-four to six times! and in the months when these birds are not breeding, they stay in the air, and even sleep there.wild albatrosses often die long before they

in her life.66. which of the following is true about albatrosses?a. the females are responsible for hatching the eggs.b. they can fly hundreds of miles or more in the wind.c. the females usually lay

albatrosses make their nests.d. why wisdom can give birth to babies in her 60s.69. what can be inferred from the text?a. wisdom has outlived her species by at least two decades.b. most albatrosses
