Tiny Town
Most settlements in Antarctica are scientific bases. Researchers and military personnel from many countries
work on these bases. But did you know that there are two settlements where families (and not just
researchers) live? One of these settlements is a Chilean village called Villa Las Estrellas, where researchers
and military families live. With only fourteen homes, one bank, and a school with two teachers and three
computers, it’s a truly unique place. In the summer, there are only about 100 residents, and in the winter there
are even fewer residents. The town has a radio station, TV reception, and even Internet access! There is also a
small hostel that can host up to 20 guests.
Visitors arrive in Villa Las Estrellas by cruise ship. Tourists can go on snowmobile and ski expeditions. They
can observe Antarctic wildlife, from emperor penguins to killer whales. One of the most popular activities
among tourists is visiting the village’s post office to send postcards with a postmark from Antarctica!

Wildlife Corridors
What happens to animals when we build cities in the middle of their homes? We build highways
right through the animals’ habitat—the area where they live. This causes many problems for animals.
For example, deer may try to cross a busy highway in order to find food and shelter. Birds may not
hear the call of other birds because of traffic noise.
The good news is that more cities are designing wildlife corridors. These corridors help animals go
where they need to go in order to survive. A wildlife corridor connects one habitat to another. A
corridor may be a bridge without cars over a busy highway or a body of water that provides a place
for birds to migrate.
You can even plan a wildlife corridor in your own backyard. To create a corridor, simply plant
flowers that attract birds and butterflies. This way they can safely travel from backyard to backyard.
____ 99. Highways can make it difficult for birds and wildlife to ________.
a. find food and shelter c. build nests
b. hear the call of other animals
____ 100. An example of a wildlife corridor is a________.
a. highway c. body of water
b. bridge without cars
____ 101. One way to create a wildlife corridor in your backyard is to ________.
a. construct a fence c. build a bridge
b. plant a flower garden
____ 102. Research shows that people who live in cities are happier.
____ 104. When you spend time in nature, you feel happier.

Studying Monkeys
Do you ever wonder what animals are thinking? Why they behave the way they do? What they are trying to
say to one another? You may want to consider ethology as a career. Ethologists study animal behavior.
When Dorothy Fragaszy was young, her passion was exploring nature. She especially liked to study animals.
In college, Dorothy learned that she could make a profession out of her interest. Now she’s an ethologist.
Dorothy’s work involves watching wild capuchin monkeys in Brazil. She notes what they eat, where they go,
how they use tools, and how they interact. Her job can be dangerous, and she takes risks. Sometimes she
climbs cliffs to follow the monkeys. She thinks the best part of her job is watching the monkeys play.
Dorothy wants people to love nature and protect it. Her work helps us understand our place in the world.
