PART III : Reading
* Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer to each question below.
Asian elephants used to live in the forests from Iraq to Southern China. Since these
forests were cut down to make room for farms and villages, the elephants had to live in
small, hilly regions. These small areas can not supply enough food for them. An adult
elephant eats about 331 pounds (150 kg) of grasses, leaves and other plants each day.
When forests were larger, Asian elephants migrated with the seasons. In this way, they
found new food supplies. The plants and trees could also grow again after elephants left.
Today, there is nowhere for the elephants to go. Experts say that the Asian
elephant population is about 55,000 living on a habitat of about 19,000 square miles
(30,400 square kilometers). In contrast to this, the African elephant population is about
10 times this size and live on almost 3 million square miles (4.8 million square
kilometers) of available habitat.
