He hoped to make a machine that ____________ like a bird. Soon he took action and began to ____________ birds carefully to learn how their wings worked.

Finally, he used what he learned to build a plane. The body of the plane was made of two ____________ side by side. The plane had a small motor (发动机) that sat between the two bikes. The back was shaped like a bird’s tail. The wings were ____________ from a common plane.

They could even be folded (折叠) down like a bird’s wings. Amazing!
