The country of Zambia and the life that thrives there is shaped by water. Although Zambia

Anyone who enjoys watching colorful fish in an aquarium would really get a thrill out of
swimming around a coral reef. Coral reefs are the natural homes to many of the brightly colored
tropical fish sold in pet stores. Reefs are formed in warm, shallow seas such as the waters off the
northeast coast of Australia, where the world’s longest coral reef is situated. In the pacific
islands, coral reefs have some of the highest biodiversity in the world. Reefs such as this one
provide homes for countless small sea plants and an abundant variety of living creatures—
tropical fish, turtles, sharks, eels, crabs, shrimps, sponges, and algae to name a few.
Diving on a coral reef is like entering another world. It, in fact, takes less time and money to
explore the world's oceans than the surface of the Moon. Every day the discovery of an exciting
new species is revealed. It is a world of never-ending wonders. A swimmer or diver among the
coral will easily spot the striking black-and-yellow pattern of the black angelfish, the many bright
colors—yellow grunts, and butterfly fish swarming around the fantastic shapes of the coral. The
predatory attackers that feed on them swim there, too. The viciously toothed head of a moray
eel can be seen peering from a crack. The thin, torpedo-like shape coasting slowly above the
reef signals the presence of that solitary hunter, the barracuda. Entire schools of the predatory
gray snappers patrol the borders of the reef, looking for fish, crabs, or shrimp to add to their
diet.
So many marine animals like to live on coral reefs because they provide shelter and food. To
escape predators, animals can hide within cracks in the reef created by corals. Nearly every
living thing on a reef is food for another organism, and together they make up a complex food
web. Wanna explore the wonders of the underwater world? Let’s pack up and dive into the
ocean to explore gorgeous underwater coral reefs.
69. Where can you find coral reefs in the world?
(A) Southern hemisphere
(B) The deep underwater world.
(C) Everywhere on the planet.
(D) Polar regions
70. What can be assumed about coral reefs?
(A) All kinds of fish depend on coral reefs to sustain their lives.
(B) Coral reefs live on tropical fish, eels, crabs, and shrimps.
(C) Nobody knows exactly how many creatures live on coral reefs.
83. Global warming is a d
e factor that causes not only many species to disappear, but also
some animal territories to vanish.
