Another interesting fact about Saturn is that it could float. That seems surprising because Saturn is the second-largest planet. Even though it is big, it doesn’t weight very much. It is less dense than water. Saturn rotates very quickly, which means that a day in Saturn is only about 10 hours long. Saturn is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. There have been many unnamed trips to get a closer look at Saturn. Four space crafts have taken pictures and visited Saturn. These were the pioneer 11. Voyager 1, voyager 2, and Cassini.

According to the passage, which of the following is not a fact about the planet Saturn?

• Saturn is the second-largest planet.

• Saturn rotates very quickly.

• A day on Saturn is about 10 hours long.

• Saturn has a great red spot

Whales are sea-living mammals. They therefore breathe air but cannot survive or land. Some species are very large indeed and the blue whale, which can exceed 30 meter length, is the largest animal which lives on earth. Superficially, the whale looks rather like a fish, but there are important difference in its external structure; its tail consists of a pair of broad, flat horizontal paddles (the tail of a fish is vertical) and it has a single nostril on top of its breadth, broad head. The skin is smooth and shiny and beneath it lies a layer of flat (blubber). This is up to 30 meter in thickness and serves to conserve heat and body fluids.

The length of a whale is……..

• is generally more than 30 meter

• may be more than 30 meter

• is less than 30 meter

• ranges from 30 meter to more than 30 meter

• is 30 meter at the most

Why talking to dolphin is not easy?

For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were the chimpanzees. Now, however, there is a proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than these big apes.

Although a dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways, therefore, like a human being.

Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible for man to learn how to talk to dolphins. But, this will not be easy because dolphins cannot hear the kind of sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will have to make a third language which both he and the dolphins can understand.

Dolphins are also very friendly toward man. They often follow ships. There are many stories about dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters.

Why talking to dolphin is not easy?

• dolphins cannot hear the kind of man’s sounds

• dolphins cannot think as human

• dolphins like playing with man

• dolphins feel annoyed by man
