17、t afraid of being eatenDarent happy to clean crocodiles teeth答案C解析细节理解题。由文章最后一段可知，plovers是不担心被鳄鱼咬伤的，因为鳄鱼是希望plovers这样做的，而对于plovers而言，其真正的目的是为了得到自己的食物。故选C项。CDid you know that vegetables can grow in the climates they are not used to？Cool climate vegetables like asparagus(芦笋) are now able to be grown in
