Text №3 «Tortoises» Words for the text: The Galapagos Islands — Галапагосские острова species — виды survive — выживать be isolated — быть изолированным taken off — увозить endangered — животные, занесенные в красную книгу are left — осталось The Galapagos Islands are situated in the Pacific Ocean to the west of South America. There are many species of reptiles, birds and plants which are only found here. These animals survived on the islands because they were isolated from dangerous animals, disease and people. The Galapagos islands are famous for huge tortoises. These tortoise can live for about 100 years and can weigh about 270 kilos. They are so heavy that only six or eight people can lift them. Not long ago sailors, explorers, hunters and fishermen came to the islands and killed the slow, friendly animals for their meat. Some tortoises were taken off the islands for zoos or private collections. These tortoises are now endangered animals. There are now only about 6,000 left. Now, they and their home are protected.

Text № 4 «The Giraffe» Words for the text: habit — привычка reach — доставать upper — верхний vertebra — позвонок stiff — негнущийся spread — расставить enable — давать возможность skillfully — умело thorny — колючий being pricked — уколоться The giraffe is the tallest of all living animals. It is strange but the body of a giraffe is no larger than of a horse. The animal is so tall because of its long legs and especially neck. A famous French zoologist, Jean de Lamarck, had a theory that the giraffe’s neck grew so long because of the animal’s habit of reaching for the tender leaves in the upper branches of trees. The neck of a giraffe has only seven vertebrae. But each vertebra is extremely long. Because of this a giraffe always has a stiff neck. If it wants to take a drink from the ground, it has to spread its legs far apart in order to be able to reach down! The strange shape and build of the giraffe is perfectly suited to enable it to get its food. A giraffe eats only plants, so its great height enables it to reach the leaves on trees which grow in tropical lands where there is little grass. The giraffe’s tongue is very long, and it can use it so skillfully that it can pick the smallest leaves off thorny plants without being pricked. Text №5 «Bats» Words for the text: echo — эхо obstacle — препятствие brownish — коричневатый (ср. также greenish — зеленоватый, и т.п.) spotted — пятнистый suck — сосать, высасывать heal — заживать carry rabies — зд. переносить, разносить бешенство upside down — вверх ногами, вверх тормашками hawk — ястреб species — виды Bats are strange creatures: they have legs and feet but they cannot walk. So, they fly like birds and they are the only animals that can fly.Bats are most common in the tropics, where they can find food all the year round. Most bats are brownish in colour, but others are blackish, orange, grey, greyish green, greenish white, white, yellowish, and some are even spotted. There are fruit-eating bats and insect-eating bats. There are also bats that catch and eat small fish. And there are bats that feed on blood. Vampire bats are the only animals that feed on blood. These small tailless creatures live in Central and South America. With their two sharp upper teeth vampire bats make a small hole in the skin of another animal and suck blood from it. They sometimes bite human beings, too, but it happens very seldom. The wound they give their victims heals quickly, but these bats may carry rabies, that is why people are afraid of them. Bats are usually active at night, when most people are asleep. In the daytime they hang close together in their attics, caves, or other dark places where they make their homes. Bats hang upside down when they are resting. Only when evening comes do they begin to move. They go out of the hole into the night above to search for food. In the morning they come home from their night of work to sleep until the next night. Bats have very few enemies. Some hawks, owls, and snakes can catch them, but it isn’t an easy thing for them. Bats live as long as 10 years, some species live longer. Many strange and false legends have been told about bats. In Western countries people fear them and think that they bring bad luck. In China and Japan bats are symbols of good luck, happiness, and long life. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
