Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to the questions from 6 to 9.
Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know.
Although the whale is very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water.
Whales have tails that end like flippers. With just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The
skin of a whale is so smooth that it does not create any friction that can slow the whale down. A
whale's breathing hole is located on the top of its head, so it can breathe without having to
completely push its head out of the water. Whales are protected from the cold seawater by body
fat that is called blubber.
When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One
such case occurred in 1988, when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to
winter and the sea had begun to freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the
air, so the frozen ice was a great danger to them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for
them to breathe through. Volunteers from all over soon turned up to help these creatures. They
cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales. These holes would also
serve as guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters.
