• Read the text about dolphins. Then, answer the questions that follow. Dolphins are one of the most
interesting animals that live on our planet. Dolphins are a type of mammal, but they live in the ocean.
Because they are not fish, dolphins have to come to the surface to breathe air—just like you and me.
Dolphins breathe air through their blow holes. Dolphins are the friendliest sea creatures. They live in groups
called pods, and they are willing to help each other. For example, if one dolphin is sick or hurt, the other
dolphins will help it to float to the surface to breathe until it is well enough to do this on its own. It’s
amazing how much dolphins care for each other. Dolphins also communicate with each other using clicks
and whistles. Even the sounds they make are friendly! I think people should be more like dolphins.
