3.Animals such as many insects, and amphibians go through a life cycle called Complete Metamorphosis.

像許多昆蟲和兩栖動物，都經曆一個被稱為完全變态的生命周期。

such as 比如 many insects 許多昆蟲 go through 經曆 a life cycle 一個生命周期 Complete Metamorphosis 完全變态

4.Many other animals, such as mammals, birds, and reptiles, and some insects, go through a cycle called Incomplete Metamorphosis.

許多其他動物，如哺乳動物、鳥類、爬行動物和一些昆蟲，都要經曆一個稱為不完全變态的周期。

Many other animals 許多其他動物 such as 比如 some insects 一些昆蟲 go through a cycle 經曆一個生命周期 Incomplete Metamorphosis 不完全變态

5.Complete Metamorphosis:

完全變态:

6.An animal that goes through a complete metamorphosis starts as an egg and hatches as a larva.

經曆完全變态的動物從卵開始，孵化成幼蟲。

goes through 經曆 a complete metamorphosis 完全變态 starts as an egg 從卵開始 hatches as a larva 孵化成幼蟲

7.The larval stage looks very different from the adult.

幼蟲階段看起來與成蟲非常不同。

After the larval stage 在幼蟲階段之後 a pupal stage 蛹階段 creates a cocoon of some sort 制造出某種繭 transforms itself into an adult 變成成蟲

8.After the larval stage, a pupal stage occurs, where the larva creates a cocoon of some sort and transforms itself into an adult.

在幼蟲階段之後，會出現蛹階段，在這個階段，幼蟲會制造出某種繭，然後變成成蟲。

9.Incomplete Metamorphosis:

不完整的蛻變：

10.An animal that goes through an incomplete metamorphosis may also hatch from an egg, however, the young that emerges looks somewhat more like the adult.

經曆不完全變态的動物也可能從蛋中孵化出來，然而，孵化出來的幼仔看起來更像成年的動物。

goes through 經曆 an incomplete metamorphosis 不完全變态 hatch from an egg 從蛋中孵化 looks somewhat more like the adult 看起來更像成年的動物

11.This stage is called the nymph stage.

這個階段被稱為若蟲階段。

the nymph stage 若蟲階段

12.No pupal stage occurs as the animal transitions to adulthood, but some animals, especially reptiles and insects, will shed skins and exoskeletons as their bodies get bigger.

在動物過渡到成年的過程中沒有蛹期，但是一些動物，特别是爬行動物和昆蟲，會随着身體的變大而蛻皮和外骨骼。

pupal stage 蛹期 the animal transitions to adulthood 動物過渡到成年 reptiles and insects 爬行動物和昆蟲 shed skins and exoskeletons 蛻皮和外骨骼 get bigger 變大

再來讀一遍完整的文章：

Animals are born and grow to be adults, just like us. Some animals hatch from eggs, and some animals are born alive. Animals such as many insects, and amphibians go through a life cycle called Complete Metamorphosis. Many other animals, such as mammals, birds, and reptiles, and some insects, go through a cycle called Incomplete Metamorphosis.

Complete Metamorphosis: An animal that goes through a complete metamorphosis starts as an egg and hatches as a larva. The larval stage looks very different from the adult. After the larval stage, a pupal stage occurs, where the larva creates a cocoon of some sort and transforms itself into an adult.

Incomplete Metamorphosis; An animal that goes through an incomplete metamorphosis may also hatch from an egg, however, the young that emerges looks somewhat more like the adult. This stage is called the nymph stage. No pupal stage occurs as the animal transitions to adulthood, but some animals, especially reptiles and insects, will shed skins and exoskeletons as their bodies get bigger.

根據短文，判斷下列動物屬于Incomplete Metamorphosis還是Complete Metamorphosis:
