Задание 7. Прочитайте и переведите текст и определите, правдивыми или ложными являются утверждения.

Yellowstone National Park is in the north-west corner of the American state of Wyoming. This national park covers an area of 3,470 square miles and its name comes from certain rocks that have a yellow colour because of the chemicals in them. It was explored by a man named John Colter in 1806, although native American Indians had known about the area for thousands of years.

Yellowstone is famous for its geysers. These are hot springs that explode and send water and steam into the air. They occur when underground water meets hot rock far beneath the surface of the earth. The water boils and is forced back to the surface, where it explodes upwards. The most famous is called Old Faithful and it sends thousands of litres of boiling water into the air approximately once an hour. Geysers are quite rare but can also be found in places such as the Kamchatka peninsula, Russia.

About three million people visit the park each year, most either camping or staying in one of the park's nine hotels. Many of them enjoy picnics or walks through the park, where they might spot some of the 50 or so species of mammals and 311 species of birds. The park advises visitors to be very careful and to remember that many of the larger wild animals, including bears, can be dangerous. Another potentially dangerous animal, the wolf, disappeared from the park in the 1930s. However, it was reintroduced in the 1990s in order to control the population of large animals, such as bison and elk, and is doing well.

Since Yellowstone was made into a national park in 1872, many other national parks have been created to protect areas of natural beauty.

 

1. Yellowstone is named after the man who discovered it.

2. American Indians first heard about the area in 1806.

3. Another name for Yellowstone National Park is Old Faithful.

4. Yellowstone National Park is the only place on Earth where geysers exist.

5. It is possible to stay in a tent inside the park.

6. Wolves can be seen today in Yellowstone National Park.
