Unit 5Part OnePeter Brown: Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Animal World on Channel 2. Im your host Peter Brown. You might have read or heard in the news about the discovery of a new animal in the Bobo area. Today we have invited three people to come to our program to talk about that. Mr. Dickens, a famous explorer, who actually found the new animal. Mrs. Smith, whose family has been living in that area for generations, Mr. Johnson, a well-known zoologist. First, Mr. Dickens, could you please tell us briefly how you discovered the new animal? Mr. Dickens: Yup. You know I have been interested in exploring the animals in the Bobo area. Five days ago, when I was walking through the woods there, I came across a group of strange animals. They were crawling on the ground and making the sound bobo. Peter Brown: Interesting. What do they look like? Mr. Dickens: They look like snakes but they each have a pair of transparent wings. Peter Brown: Really? Mrs. Smith, youve lived in that area for a long time, have you seen this kind of animal there? Mrs. Smith: Yeah. I think they have lived there for centuries. Many of our villagers have reported seeing them. Ive seen them only once. I think theyre really ugly. They are black, with a long tail and small bright eyes. Really scary. Peter Brown: So, Mr. Johnson, youre a zoologist. From these descriptions, could you tell us what kind of animal this may be? Mr. Johnson: Its hard to say at this point. I need more information. Mr. Dickens, you mentioned that they have wings. Can they fly? Mr. Dickens: Erm. I dont think so. I stayed there all day long observing them. None of them flew. Mr. Johnson: Ms Smith, as a native in that region, do you or your villagers happen to know how they produce their young? Do they bear live young, or do they lay eggs? Mrs. Smith: Oh, they lay eggs. Very colorful ones. Mr. Johnson: In that case, probably they are a type of reptile. But Im not sure about them. I think further investigation and research will have to be done on that. Peter Brown: Thank you. Mr. Johnson. If any of you in the audience has any question to ask, please raise your hand and Ill call on you. Audience 1: Excuse me, Mr. Dickens. Do you think these animals are dangerous? Did they attack you when they became aware of your presence? Mr. Dickens: I dont know. I dont think they knew I was around since I stayed away from them quite a distance. Audience 2: Mr. Johnson, do you think this snake-like animal is poisonous? Mr. Johnson: As I mentioned before, we need to do further study on these animals before we can answer these types of questions about them. Peter Brown: Thank you Mr. Johnson. We are looking forward to further research on these strange animals. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for watching. Remember 6 p.m. every Friday. Well lead you to a world of animals.

Two rabbits were playing in a field. Far away they saw two small red things. The rabbits went closer to look. The two red things were pieces of an old red blanket. The pieces were thick and warm, but they were very small. They were too small to use. Soon a fox came by. Good day, my friends, he said. You look worried. Do you have a problem? The rabbits answered, Yes! We need a needle and thread to sew the pieces of blanket together. You can use my needle and thread if I can use the blanket too, said the fox. The rabbits used the foxs needle and thread. When the rabbits finished their sewing, the fox looked at their work. You did a good job, he said. Ill see you tonight. Night came and the wind was very cold. The fox came back to the rabbits.Good evening, my friends. Its a cold, cold night. But we will be warm! We have the nice, warm blanket you sewed with my needle and thread. You sewed down the middle of the blanket. The right thing is for me to sleep in the middle. Yes, thats right, Mr. Fox, said the rabbits. So the fox lay down on the ground. The rabbits put the middle of the blanket over him. The blanket covered him, but it did not cover the rabbits. They were cold all night! Exercise 14,2,3,1,Exercise 21. cold 2.red 3.thick 4.warm 5.small 6.use 7.finished/did 8.middle 9.covered 10.rabbitsListening IIOnce there was a farmer in Laos. Every morning and every evening he and his buffalo plowed his field. One day a tiger saw the farmer and his buffalo working. The tiger was surprised to see a big animal listening to a small animal. He wanted to know more about the buffalo and the man. After the man went home, the tiger spoke to the buffalo. You are so big and strong. Why do you do everything that the man tells you to? The buffalo answered,Oh, the man is very intelligent. The tiger asked, Can you tell me how intelligent he is? No, I cant tell you, said the buffalo,but you can ask him. So the next day, the tiger said to the man, Can I see your intelligence? But the man answered,Its at home. Can you go and get it? asked the tiger. Yes, said the man, but I am afraid that you would kill my buffalo when I am gone. Can I tie you to a tree? After the man tied the tiger up, he didnt go home to get his intelligence. He took his plow and hit the tiger. Then he said,Now you know about my intelligence, even if you havent seen it.

He goes out and meets a small monkey and roars: Who is the mightiest of all the jungle animals? The trembling monkey says, You are, all mighty lion! Later, the lion sees an ox and asks the same question. The frightened ox answers:Oh great lion, youre the mightiest animal in the jungle! Feeling good now, the lion confidently walks up to an elephant and roars the same question. Fast as lightning, the elephant takes hold of the lion and knocks it against the tree six times and then raises his giant foot and stamps on the lion till it looks like a pancake. The lion wanders away, lets out a cry, and shouts to the elephant: Just because you dont know the answer doesnt mean you have to get so unhappy about it!

Forty boys might all have been burnt to death, if the alarm had not been raised by the Headmasters dog, Peter, whose frantic barking woke the Headmaster and his family. Peter was asleep in the kitchen of my house, Mr. Phillips told our reporter. Hes not normally a nervous dog, but I thought he seemed a bit nervous last night. Then shortly after midnight he started making a loud noise. At first I thought hed been frightened by thieves, but when I let him out he went straight over to C block, where the dormitory is located. I woke the master on duty and we discovered that a fire had started in the games room, where the boys had played table tennis and other games. We used the fire extinguisher and put out the fire, but had it not been for Peter, we might have had a tragedy on our hands. The fire department believes that the fire was probably caused by a lit cigarette enda little surprising perhaps, since smoking is strictly forbidden in the games room.

So she spends at least 20 minutes, three times a day, with each sea lion. She plays games with them, teaches them new skills, and praises their efforts. For example, Hurley started by training each sea lion to chase after a ball and touch it with its nose. First she waited for the sea lion to do it by chance. Then she praised the animal with positive reinforcement, such as food, petting, or a game. Eventually, the sea lions knew to chase after the ball to get a reward. The next step was to get the sea lions to swim beside lifesize plastic whale models, Hurley says. She and her team placed the models in a boat and the sea lions would follow them. We began training the animals to touch their noses to the whales body, says Hurley, just like they did with the ball. Eventually, the sea lions learned to do it. Then they trained them to carry videotape recorders on their bodies and videotape the plastic whale. Now theyre almost ready to chase after the real thing, Hurley says. If successful, she may send them to videotape other marine mammals, such as the enormous blue whales. After doing all that work, you might wonder, do the animals get paid? Well, not in dollars and cents. But they do get loving caretakers, a good home, food, and drinkand human companions who are willing to play plenty of games.

V1: I havent ever seen a live seal before. Do many seals live in the ocean here? M: No, most of them live in cold climates, some in the far north in the Arctic, and others in the far south, Antarctica. You know, we are lucky that we have as many living species of seals as we do have. V1: Why? M: Because seal hunting, by the late 1800s, had killed so many seals that many species were almost gone forever. V2: What saved them? M: Many international agreements were reached to protect seals. This included the establishing of many seal sanctuaries, places where it is now illegal to hunt and kill them. Also, here in the United States there is less demand for seal fur than there used to be. V2: Why is that? M: There are now many people and organizations who are against the killing of animals for their fur. Also there are many new synthetic fibers that are so warm that fur is no longer needed. V1: How many species of seals are there? M: Eighteen. The most common one is called the harbor seal. It is found in both the north Atlantic and Pacific oceans. V1: Thanks so much for talking with us. M: Youre welcome.

One day while still new at the job, I noticed two kids jumping up and down near the waters edge, pointing toward an animal that appeared to be struggling in the waves. I decided I couldnt watch a dog drown. Jumping through the window, I ran toward the beach. As I started to take off my coat, a man came by. What are you doing? he asked. Im going to save that dog! I said. Puzzled, he asked where I was from. The Midwest, I replied. Oh, I see, he said. They dont have sea lions there, do they?

The number of giant pandas in the United States has increased to nine. They spread across four zoos. Its not easy getting them here. In order to bring a pair of pandas into the United States, each zoo has to get a permit, because the panda is the type of animal that may soon disappear from the world. Pandas are difficult to study in the wild. They live in mountains. They are shy, so its rare that you would actually see one. What the Western scientists know about pandas today mostly comes from studies of Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing at the Smithsonian Institutions National Zoo. Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing were the first two pandas in the U.S. zoo. They were given as a gift to the United States in 1972 by the Chinese government. The nine pandas now in the U.S. belong to the Chinese government, and are in the American zoos for 10 to 12 years. A baby panda which was born at the San
