“I'm hungry,”Pat said to his friend, Mike.“Let's have a meal somewhere.”

　　They walked down the road until they came to an expensive restaurant(餐館).

　　“This will be fine,”Pat said.“Just the place we want.”

Penguins

　　Penguins (企鵝) live together, but each pair has a little piece of ground of their own. When a penguin wants to walk through its neighbour's ground, it must ask permission (允許). If it does not, it will have to fight. Penguins come and go all day. They fight fish and look after their children.

　　All penguins are good parents－the male (雄性的) penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They walk in from the sea in the middle of the dark Antarctic water. They choose their wives in the dark. They can only hear them－not see them. Then the female (雌性的) penguins lay their eggs and go away for about two months. The males look after the eggs. If the eggs get cold, there will be no chicks (幼鳥). There is no food. The snow falls and the wind blows－sometimes at 150 kilometres an hour. The penguins do not move. When the females return from the sea, they will not remember their husbands. It does not matter. Only one thing matters－the eggs. Male penguins never fight－unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute. Then they fight because they all want it. They are strange and wonderful birds.

1．From the passage we know that penguins usually lead ________ life.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)n active
B．a(chǎn) quiet
C．a(chǎn) hard
D．a(chǎn) simple

2．It seems interesting and unusual that the male penguins choose their wives ________.

[　　]

A．when the female penguins return from the sea

B．just by hearing in the darkness

C．each time they see the lovely females

D．a(chǎn)fter they have had their own grounds

3．It is ________ that take care of the eggs.

A．the male penguins

B．the female penguins

C．both the husbands and the wives

D．the penguins that lost in the fight

4．Only when ________ can a penguin walk through its neighbour's ground.

[　　]

A．it wins the fight

B．it has become a father

C．it gets married

D．it gets permission

5．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

[　　]

A．Female penguins often have their new husbands.

B．Male penguins fight when choosing their wives.

C．Female penguins take care of the eggs.

D．Male penguins use their ears to choose wives.
