Question

【题目】Answer the question (根据短文内容回答下列问题）：

Jim, the pilot, carefully landed the plane. The three passengers, two men and one woman, were photographers, and they wanted to take photos of tropical flowers and trees. They were caught in a terrible storm and lost.

“Ann and Alex stayed here,” said Jim. “Frank and I will try to find something to eat and drink. We will come back in about an hour ?”

It was difficult to walk in the jungle. After some time, they came upon a beautiful valley. “What fantastic colors,” Frank exclaimed. “I must take some photographs,” he said as he started to climb down into the beautiful valley, Suddenly he slipped and began to fall. “AHHHHH!” he cried.

“Frank, Frank,” called Jim. Are you all right? Are you hurt?”

“ No, I'm fine. I fell on an enormous egg. We can have it for dinner.”

“ Stay there, Frank, I'll ask Ann and Alex to come here. We will get you out.”

The three friends climbed down into the valley. They couldn't find Frank but they found his hat. Near the enormous eggs was a footprint that was one meter square. The friends walked for hours following the trail of footprints until it was almost night.

“WHOOOOSH”. Something flew over them and landed. It was a huge bird. “look! It's a pterodactyl（翼龙）!” The huge bird watched them for a few minutes then flew away.

“ It's almost night and this looks like a good place to sleep.” said Ann, “but I'm afraid of the pterodactyl and the large animal footprints.”

“Animals are usually frightened of fire,” Jim remarked after building and putting a lot of wood on the fire, “this should keep them away and keep us safe during the night.” They continued their search at dawn.

“BOOM, BOOM.” They heard a loud noise in the jungle. They saw a group of strange animals going in the same direction. The friends followed the animals out of the forest. In front of them was a fantastic view. There was a big blue lake and some mountains. Strange animals drank the water. Suddenly the animals were moving and the small animals run quickly into the forest. They were running away from a large animal that was approaching them. “That’s a dinosaur. It’s carnivorous and very dangerous.” said Ann.
