“THE DOLPHINS”
• READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were
chimpanzees. Now, however, there is proof that dolphins may be even cleverer
than these big apes.
Although a Dolphin lives in the sea it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many
ways, therefore, like a human being. Dolphins have a simple language. They
are able to talk to one another. It may be possible for man to learn how to talk to
dolphins. But this Will not be easy because dolphins can not hear the kind of
sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he Will have
to make a third language which both he and the dolphins can understand.
Dolphins are also very friendly towards man. They often follow ships. There are
many stories of dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous Waters.
