Canada Geese are large blue and white birds. When autumn arrives, they have to fly south where the
weather is warmer. The winters are so cold in Canada that the birds die if they stay there. Last spring, Bill
Lishman found sixteen young Canada Geese on his farm. They had lost their parents. Bill thought, ‘These
young birds won’t know what to do in the autumn.’ Bill had a small plane and he decided to teach the birds to
follow him. All through the summer, he went on short trips in his plane and the young geese flew after him.
When the cold weather arrived in autumn, Bill flew to Virginia in the United States, 600 miles south of his
home in Canada. The geese followed him all the way. Bill left the geese in Virginia and he returned home.
This spring, Bill was waiting for the birds to come back. They didn’t arrive, so Bill flew to Virginia to get them.

waiting for him. They had found their way home without him!

 UNIT 3E

READING: The Easter Island statues

A mystery in the South Pacific Ocean
José Tuki is a 30-year-old artist from Easter Island in the South Pacific Ocean. He’s sitting on Anakena
beach and he’s looking at enormous statues of people – the moai. The statues are from four feet tall to 33 feet
tall. Some of them weigh more than 80 tons. They are hundreds of years old. The moai are made of a type of
stone that doesn’t exist on Anakena beach. People made the statues in a different place and then they moved
them 11 miles to the beach. ‘How did they do it?’ Tuki asks.
The first Polynesians arrived at Rapa Nui (Easter Island) by canoe hundreds of years ago. This small
island is 2,150 miles west of South America. These days, 12 flights arrive every week from Chile, Peru and
Tahiti. In 2011, 50,000 tourists flew to Easter Island. All the tourists go to see the moai.
There are different ideas about how the Rapa Nui people moved the moai. Some historians think the
ancestors used ropes and wood and pulled the statues along the ground. The scientist and writer Jared Diamond
thinks that many people moved the statues. He also thinks that the people cut down the trees on the island.
They needed the wood to move the statues. They also needed a lot of space without trees to grow food. Because
they cut down the trees, there was an environmental disaster on the island.
But archaeologists Terry Hunt of the University of Hawaii and Carl Lipo of California State University
Long Beach don’t agree with Jared Diamond. They say that it was possible to move the statues with a small
number of people and a system of ropes. Last year, National Geographic Expeditions Council paid for an
experiment to test Hunt and Lipo’s idea. Easter Islander José Tuki says, ‘I want to know the truth, but maybe
the island doesn’t tell all its answers’. He thinks that the moai are very special and powerful and maybe it’s not
a good idea to know the truth.

disaster (n) something very bad that happens and which causes a lot of damage

READING An extreme sport.

3. Read about Claude Geraldo, a base jumper. What do you think is more dangerous, jumping from an
airplane or jumping from a mountain?
“The mountain is much more dangerous,” according to base jumper Claude Gerald. “It isn’t as high as
an airplane, but when you jump from a mountain, you can hit the side of the mountain. In fact, it’s probably
the most dangerous of all the extreme sports.”
“Base jumping is parachuting,” Claude explains. “But you don't do it from an airplane or a moving
object. You jump from a fixed place like a tall building or the top of a cliff or mountain. And then you open
your parachute before you hit the ground.”
The parachute is a very important piece of equipment for base jumpers. In fact, Claude needed to learn
to parachute, so he learned from an airplane before he started on mountains. He says, “I like physical sports
like rugby and football, and on weekends, I often go rock climbing with friends. But base jumping is
amazing. I like it because it’s so exciting.”

47
 Exciting and scary. “Every time I stand at the top of a cliff or a mountain. I'm a bit scared, but I think
that's important. I like the adrenaline, but I always concentrate more because base jumping is a dangerous sport.
Not everyone can do it.”
