READING PART ONE

Penguins show signs of stress
A new argument has been put forward as to whether penguins are
disturbed by the presence of tourists in Antarctica.
Previous research by scientists from Keil University in Germany monitored
Adelie penguins and noted that the birds heart rates increased
dramatically at the sight of a human as far as 30 meters away. But new
research using an artificial egg, which is equipped to measure heart rates,
disputes this. Scientists from Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge
say that a slow moving human who does not approach the nest too
closely is not perceived as a threat by penguins.
The earlier findings have been used to partly explain the 20 per cent drop
in populations of certain types of penguins near tourist sites. However,
tour operators have continued to insist that their activities do not
adversely affect wildlife in Antarctica, saying they encourage nondisruptive behavior in tourists, and that the decline in penguin numbers is
caused by other factors.
Amanda Nimon of the Scott Polar Research Institute spent three southern
hemisphere summers at Cuverville Island in Antarctica studying penguin
behavior towards humans. A nesting penguin will react very differently to
a person rapidly and closely approaching the nest, says Simon. First
they exhibit large and prolonged heart rate changes and then they
often flee the nest leaving it open for predators to fly in and remove eggs
or chicks. The artificial egg, specially developed for the project,
monitored both the parent who had been disturbed when the egg was
placed in the nest and the other parent as they both took it in turns to
guard the nest.

However, Boris Culik, who monitored the Adelie penguins, believes that
Nimons findings do not invalidate his own research. He points out that
species behave differently and Nimons work was with Gentoo
penguins. Nimon and her colleagues believe that Culiks research was
methodologically flawed because the monitoring of penguins responses
entailed capturing and restraining the birds and fitting them with heart-rate
transmitters. Therefore, argues Nimon, it would not be surprising if they
became stressed on seeing a human subsequently.

READING PART TWO

THREATS TO OUR WORLD
We have spent thousands of years fighting for our survival. Yet, now we
have discovered that our planet is under threat, and, to make matters
worse, its our entire fault.
The rainforests are dying, rare plant and animal species are disappearing,
rivers and seas are being contaminated, crops are failing to grow, people
are dying of hunger and the air is being polluted. Its time we woke up to
these problems and started repairing the damage.
One of the major problems is the destruction of the rainforests in South
America. They are home to half the worlds species and to millions of
people. A Moreover, the rainforests clean the air by absorbing carbon
dioxide and giving out oxygen. The trees are being cut down for paper or
to make room for cattle farms. As a result, birds and animals lose their
homes and die. This destruction is also bringing about changes in the
climate, air pollution, flooding, drought and famine. If we continue to burn
and cut down the rainforests as we are doing now, the earth will never be
the same again.
Another big problem is water pollution. Do you like swimming in the sea or
drinking a cool glass of water on a hot day? B Factories are polluting our

rivers and lakes with dangerous chemicals. Oil tankers are releasing thick,
black oil into our oceans. Tons and tons of industrial domestic waste are
poured into our seas. Consequently, sea life is threatened with extinction.
Air pollution is another important issue. The cars and factories in and
around our cities are giving out dangerous fumes. In the past few years,
more and more people than ever before have developed allergies and
breathing problems. If we dont do something now, our cities will become
impossible to live in.

Fortunately its not too late to solve these problems.C We have the time,
the money and even the technology to prepare the way for a better,
cleaner and safer future. We can plant trees and adopt animals. We can
create parks for endangered species. We can put pressure on those in
power to take action D.
