They Are So Much Like Us

Many people think that penguins ['pengwɪnz] live in places where it is very cold. But we can find them not only along the Antarctic [ænt'ɑ:ktɪk] continent (not the Arctic!) and islands. They also live in Peru [pə'ru:], Brazil [brə'zɪl], Southwest Africa, New Zealand and in the south of Australia.

The penguin is famous because it can stand up straight and walk. When they walk, they look funny to us. They look like people wearing black coats and white shirts.

Ages ago, penguins were about 2 metres tall and could fly as well as any other bird. But today their wings² are short and useless for flying. How did it happen? Many scientists say that it happened because penguins had very few enemies. They lived in territories where there was practically no danger for them, so they could safely spend all the time on land or in the water. They stopped using their wings. Over time those wings became very small and today they are useless for flying. But penguins are fantastic swimmers. Penguins also developed a thick coat of fat to protect them from the icy cold of the territories where they live.

3. A. Прочитайте заголовок научно-популярной статьи и ее первый абзац. Как вы думаете, о чем пойдет речь в тексте? B. Прочитайте статью до конца. Что нового вы из нее узнали?

Ответ:

A. I think the text is going to be about penguins and why they are similar to people. It will probably describe where they live and what they look like.

Я думаю, что текст будет о пингвинах и о том, почему они похожи на людей. Вероятно, в нем будет описываться, где они живут и как выглядят.

B. I learned that penguins live not only in the Antarctic but also in warmer countries like Peru, Brazil, and Australia. I also found out a very interesting fact: long ago, penguins were about 2 meters tall and could fly! They stopped flying because they lived in places with few enemies. Now their wings are useless for flying, but they are fantastic swimmers and have a thick layer of fat to protect them from the cold.

Я узнал, что пингвины живут не только в Антарктике, но и в более теплых странах, таких как Перу, Бразилия и Австралия. Еще я выяснил очень интересный факт: давным-давно пингвины были ростом около 2 метров и умели летать! Они перестали летать, потому что жили в местах, где было мало врагов. Теперь их крылья бесполезны для полета, но зато они фантастические пловцы и имеют толстый слой жира для защиты от холода.
