Question 5: Read the passage and then answer the questions

For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were chimpanzees. Now, however, there is

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 can not 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 towards man. They often follow ships. There are many stories of dolphins

guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters.
