Unit 11 Page 102 Reading Exercise 3 DOLPHINS TO THE RESCUE Everyone knows that dolphins are very intelligent animals. But did you know that many scientists believe there is a special connection between dolphins and humans? There are lots of stories about dolphins helping humans who are in danger. Here are two of our favourites. 14-year-old Davide Ceci was in his father's boat off the south-east coast of Italy when he had an accident and fell into the water. Davide didn't know how to swim and his father didn't see him fall, so he didn't stop the boat. He shouted, but his dad didn't hear him. Davide got very worried. Then, very quickly, a dolphin came to help him. It gave Davide a push back up to the top of the water and the boy got onto the dolphin's back. The dolphin took him back to the boat. When Davide's father saw his son, he pulled him from the water. The dolphin saved Davide's life! In 2016, Adam Walker went to New Zealand to swim across the Cook Strait between the North and South Islands. He was swimming when he saw a large dark shape below him. He knew that it was a great white shark and his life was in danger. Adam knew he didn't have a lot of time. A few seconds later, a group of ten dolphins joined him and swam in a circle between him and the shark. The circle of dolphins kept Adam safe. After half an hour, the shark left, but the dolphins swam with him for another hour.

Page 106 Reading Exercise 2 EXTINCT ANIMALS 1 THE GREAT AUK The great auk was a large seabird that lived in the North Atlantic. It was a bird, but it couldn't fly. It could swim under water really well. It caught and ate fish when it dived under the water. Its feathers were very soft and people used them to make pillows for their beds. Because of this, people killed the birds. The last great auk died on the island of Eldey in 1835. 2 The TASMANIAN TIGER The Tasmanian tiger was only found in Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea. It got its name because it had stripes like a tiger, but it was not a member of the cat family. Farmers believed Tasmanian tigers killed their sheep, so they paid people to kill them. Many of the tigers died after getting ill from diseases they caught from other animals. The last Tasmanian tiger died in Hobart Zoo in 1936. 3 STELLER'S SEA COW Steller's sea cow was a large animal that lived in the cold Arctic waters around Alaska. It grew up to nine metres long. Because it was so big, it couldn't go under the water. It ate the plants on top of the sea. It wasn't a very dangerous animal - it was quite friendly. Because of this, it was very easy to kill. Europeans first found the sea cow in 1741. 27 years later they killed the last one. Page 107 Vocabulary Exercise 8 1 dirty 2 boring 3 dangerous 4 beautiful 5 clever 6 horrible

第106页阅读练习2 灭绝的动物 1大海雀 大海雀是一种生活在北大西洋的大型海鸟。 那是一只鸟，但它不会飞。它能在水下游得很好。 它潜入水中时抓了鱼吃了。 它的羽毛非常柔软，人们用它们为床做枕头。 因此，人们杀死了这些鸟。 最后一只大海雀于1835年死于埃尔迪岛。 2塔斯曼虎 塔斯马尼亚虎只在澳大利亚、塔斯马尼亚和新几内亚发现。 它之所以得名，是因为它有像老虎一样的条纹， 但它不是猫科动物。 农民们认为塔斯马尼亚虎杀死了他们的羊，所以他们付钱让人杀死它们。 许多老虎死于从其他动物身上感染的疾病。 最后一只塔斯马尼亚虎于1936年在霍巴特动物园死亡。 3斯特拉海牛 斯特拉海牛是一种生活在阿拉斯加周围寒冷的北极水域的大型动物。 它长到九米长。 因为它太大了，不能下水。 它吃掉了海面上的植物。 它不是一种非常危险的动物——它很友好。 因此，它很容易被杀死。 欧洲人于1741年首次发现了海牛。 27年后，他们杀死了最后一个。 第107页词汇练习8 1脏 2无聊 3危险 4美丽 5聪明 6可怕
