Questions 36-40

Read the passage about penguins carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Penguins are unique birds because they cannot fly. They also spend most of their lives
in the water although they can hold their breath for only a couple of minutes. Their
wings are shaped like paddles and their feet are webbed. These make them excellent
swimmers and allow them to fly underwater.

Penguins feathers are shiny and waterproof. Their black and white colouring
protects them against enemies such as sharks, leopard seals and killer whales. Each
year, penguins drop their old feathers and grow new ones.

Penguins eat seafood such as fish, squid and krill. They catch food with their
beaks and swallow it whole while swimming. They have a spiny tongue and powerful
jaws to grip their prey.

Penguin mothers lay one or two eggs in a nest. The penguin mother and father
take turns taking care of the eggs.
