On the north coast of Brazil, scientists once found something very strange-lost penguins（企鹅）far from home!The scientists did not know why the penguins were lost. Perhaps a warm current（洋流）took them to the north.But penguins cannot live for long in the warmer waters of the north. It was time to save the penguins.

Sadly though, some penguins were too sick to travel and some of them were dying. The scientists took the healthy birds and put them on a large plane. They flew to the south coast of Brazil. Many people came to watch the birds. But at first, the birds just looked at the water. Then some of the braver ones swam about in it. It was cold!It was good!

And so they began the last part of their journey. People cheered loudly as the younger penguins started swimming behind the older ones. Together, they were on their way home at last.

A friend and I once got lost on the top of Glyder Fawr, a mountain in North Wales. It was snowing and we couldn’t see more than two meters in front of us. Luckily we met some more experienced walkers. We followed them and returned safely. Meeting other walkers on quite a cold January day wasn’t really so surprising, because walking is the UK’s most popular sport.

Many people believe that the popular walking brought about 20 special long paths(小路) for walking in Britain. The longest is the Southwest Coast path(1014km). The most exciting one is the West Highland Way in Scotland because it passes through mountain areas. It ends at the bottom of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain.

There are also a few basic rules(规则) you should follow when you are walking on the paths. Don’t drop litter, keep your dogs around you if there are farm animals in the area, and always stay on the path.

Remember that British weather can change very quickly, especially in the north and west of the country. If you are in Wales, Scotland or the north of England, you would need to carry enough food and water with you. It is also important to wear warm and thick clothes. Carry a map and compass so that you won’t get lost. These paths are the best way to enjoy Britain’s wonderful countryside.

1.The writer thinks it’s _______ to meet other walkers in cold weather in Britain.

A.strange B.terrible C.common D.boring

2.The most exciting path for walking in Britain is _______.

A.Ben Nevis B.the West Highland Way

C.Glyder Fawr D.the Southwest Coast path

3.If there are farm animals in your walking area, you should _______.

A.carry some food with you B.collect litter around you

C.wear some thick clothes D.let your dog be around you

4.The underlined word “compass” in the passage may mean “_______”.

A.火柴 B.斧头 C.指南针 D.口香糖

5.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A.Walking in the UK B.Long Paths for Walking

C.British Countryside D.Useful Rules for Walking
