world. About 400 people try to reach the top every year. This many climbers means a lot of trash.

III. Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.
Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know. Although
the whale is very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water. Whales have
tails that end like flippers. With just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The skin of a whale
is so smooth that it does not create any friction that can slow the whale down. A whale’s
breathing hole is located on the top of its head, so it can breathe without having to completely
push its head out of the water. Whales are protected from the cold seawater by body fat that is
called blubber.
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviors, they are more similar to humans
than fish. They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate
from cooler to warmer waters. The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years.
Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured members; instead, they cradle them.
When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One
such case occurred in 1988, when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to
winter and the sea had begun to freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the
air, so the frozen ice was a great danger to them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for
them to breathe through. Volunteers from all over soon turned up to help these creatures. They
cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales. These holes would also serve
as guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters.
