2) Reading Task 4 Practice

* Read the following message.

 It’s been ingrained in our heads since we were little: building strong bones is important. The
problem is that these days many children aren’t getting the daily recommended diet and exercise
needed to do so. And, with technology use at an all-time high, children are spending less time
playing outdoors, which increases the risk of obesity.

 Today, approximately 32 percent of American children and adolescents ages 2 to 19 are considered
overweight or obese. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) wants to help
empower families to get up, get out and get moving to ensure optimal bone growth and reduce the
risk of osteoporosis and other diseases later in life.

 “Building your child’s bone bank is like a college savings plan: the earlier you start investing, the
better,” says AAOS spokesperson Dr. Jennifer Weiss, a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon at Kaiser
Permanente in Los Angeles. “Parents should ensure that kids are getting adequate calcium to keep
their bones strong as well as appropriate levels of vitamins D and C to allow the body to absorb the
calcium.”

 So what’s a parent to do? The following tips from the AAOS will help get your kids (and you) moving
while building better, stronger bones:

* Move it. Make physical activity a part of a child’s schedule for at least 30 to 60 minutes per day.
Make it fun. Walking around the block to see the colors, riding a bike is a perfect way to engage with
your kids and still get in some exercise. Bonus? Being outside gets you and the kids some much-
needed vitamin D, which also helps build strong bones.

 * Watch what you eat. Which makes on-the-run snacks and meals an easy fix for harried parents.
Unfortunately, most of this kind of food does not have the nutrients to ensure good bone health.
Adolescents should consume a healthy diet with calcium to maintain strong bones and lower the risk
of excessive weight gain.

2) Reading Task 3
* Choose the best option according to the information given in the message.

 A. The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species
and is endemic to Antarctica. The male and female are similar in plumage and size, reaching 122 cm (48
in) in height and weighing from 22 to 45 kg (49 to 99 lb). The dorsal side and head are black and sharply
delineated from the white belly, pale-yellow breast and bright-yellow ear patches. Like all penguins it is
flightless, with a streamlined body, and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine habitat.

 B. The emperor penguin is a social animal in its nesting and its foraging behaviour; birds hunting
together may coordinate their diving and surfacing.Individuals may be active day or night. A mature
adult travels throughout most of the year between the nesting area and ocean foraging areas; the
species disperses into the oceans from January to March.

 C. As the species has no fixed nest sites that individuals can use to locate their own partner or chick,
emperor penguins must rely on vocal calls alone for identification. They use a complex set of calls that
are critical to individual recognition between parents, offspring, and mates, displaying the widest
variation in individual calls of all penguins. Vocalizing emperor penguins use two frequency bands
simultaneously. Chicks use a frequency-modulated whistle to beg for food and to contact parents.

 D. In 2012 the emperor penguin was uplisted from a species of least concern to near threatened by the
IUCN. Along with nine other species of penguin, it is currently under consideration for inclusion under
the US Endangered Species Act. The primary causes for an increased risk of species endangerment are
declining food availability, due to the effects of climate change and industrial fisheries on the
crustacean and fish populations. Other reasons for the species's placement on the Endangered Species
Act's list include disease, habitat destruction, and disturbance at breeding colonies by humans. Of
particular concern is the impact of tourism. One study concluded that emperor penguin chicks in a
crèche become more apprehensive following helicopter approach to 1,000 m (3,281 ft).

E. Not given in any of the above paragraphs.

*  Decide which paragraph, A to D, has the information given in each statement below. Select E if
the information is not given in any of the paragraphs.

1. Emperor penguins are currently in danger of extinction.

2. Male and female of the emperor penguin look similar.

3. The diet of Emperor penguins consists mainly of fish, crustaceans and cephalopods.

4. Emperor penguins live together like humans.

5. Emperor penguins rely only on voice calls due to their limited environment.

6. Climate change, human and disease threaten the emperor penguin.

7. Emperor penguin is changed by the environment.

8. Some Emperor penguins grow in SeaWorld San Diego outside Antarctica.

9. Special penguin uses two frequency bands.
