Read “Kiwi Country” and answer the questions that follow.

New Zealand lies in the Pacific Ocean and is made up of two large islands - the North Island and the South Island, and numerous smaller islands. It abounds in natural beauty, with glacial mountains, fast-flowing rivers, deep clear lakes and pools of boiling mud. The Rotorua volcanic region contains not only mud pools but also numerous hot springs and geysers .

The flightless kiwi is instantly recognizable as New Zealand's symbol and gives its name to the people and to a fruit. Other strange animals, which evolved here in isolation , are the world's only flesh-eating parrot - the kea, a flightless parrot - the kakapo and a lizard called the tuatara, which is related to the snake family, though there are no snakes to be found here!

In 2005, all the top offices in government were held by women! They included Prime Minister Helen Clark, head of state Queen Elizabeth II and the governor-general, speaker of the house and chief justice. Not surprising at all, considering that New Zealand was the first country to grant women the right to vote in 1893.
