Penguins

　　Penguins (企鵝) live together, but each pair has a little piece of ground of their own. When a penguin wants to walk through its neighbour's ground, it must ask permission (允許). If it does not, it will have to fight. Penguins come and go all day. They fight fish and look after their children.

　　All penguins are good parents－the male (雄性的) penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They walk in from the sea in the middle of the dark Antarctic water. They choose their wives in the dark. They can only hear them－not see them. Then the female (雌性的) penguins lay their eggs and go away for about two months. The males look after the eggs. If the eggs get cold, there will be no chicks (幼鳥). There is no food. The snow falls and the wind blows－sometimes at 150 kilometres an hour. The penguins do not move. When the females return from the sea, they will not remember their husbands. It does not matter. Only one thing matters－the eggs. Male penguins never fight－unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute. Then they fight because they all want it. They are strange and wonderful birds.

1．From the passage we know that penguins usually lead ________ life.

[　　]

A．an active
B．a quiet
C．a hard
D．a simple

2．It seems interesting and unusual that the male penguins choose their wives ________.

4．Only when ________ can a penguin walk through its neighbour's ground.

C．it gets married

D．it gets permission

5．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

       Can you think of a bird that can't fly but is a very good swimmer? The emperor penguin is one!
       Since last week, six emperor penguins have been on show at the Beijing Pacific Underwater World (太平洋海底世界, BPUW). "I had only seen penguins in my geography textbook," said 13-year-old
Yu Yaxin, when she was watching the birds in the aquarium. "Emperor penguins are much bigger and
taller than I had thought. They're up to my shoulders!"
       One month ago these penguins came to China from the Antarctic.
       At BPUW, emperor penguins have their own room with a swimming pool! A big air-conditioner helps to keep the room as cold as minus four degrees Celsius.
       "They're starting to enjoy their new life now," said Shi Xiaomin, head of the BPUW. "They no longer
hide in the corner when people try to get close to them."
Shi told TEENS that all six were quite lazy. They spend the whole day eating and sleeping. They sleep for more than ten hours a day!
       They're not always as nice as they seem. When they get angry, they make loud noises and move their bodies from side to side. They also hit very fast with their hard flippers (鰭狀肢).
       There are 17 kinds of penguin and the emperor penguin is the largest and also most beautiful of all. Its colourful feathers and lively spirit (氣度) made people call it the "emperor" of penguins.
       Emperor penguins can swim as fast as 30 kilometres per hour. That's faster than large ships!
       In the wild, emperor penguins spend half their time on the cold Antarctic (南極的) ice and the other
half in the water. They're the only birds that give birth during the cold winters in Antarctica. There are now about 570,000 emperor penguins in the Antarctic.
