Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.Schipper, now a 17yearold from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics, yesterday recalled her time with Gould five years ago.“I was at a national youth camp on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train，” Schipper explained.“It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I dont know why. We just started talking and it went from there.”“She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what its like to be on an Australian team.

whale but a whole pod of killer whales.A pod is a group of closely related whales.A pod is formed when a female killer whale gives birth to a baby，which means that the oldest female is the leader because all the other members are her children and her childrens children.A pod is made up of 4 to 40 killer whales.Killer whales stay in a pod to protect the young and to help with hunting.These pods usually develop their own languages.What a killer whale looks like Killer whales are always black and white.You can tell the female and male whales apart very easily.A male has a bigger dorsal fin(背鳍)than a female killer whale.A dorsal fin is the fin that is at the top of the killer whale.An adult male whale can grow up to 23 feet and weigh up to 4,0005,000 kilograms.A female can grow to 21 feet and weigh up to 2,5003,000 kilograms.A killer whale has 20 or more coneshaped(锥形的)teeth.These teeth help hold and kill their food.Languages Clicks and whistles are the language of all killer whales.One pods dialect can be different from the other pods dialect.This form of speech is very important because it is the way killer whales communicate.Say that you and a friend sat across the room from each other.You would not be able to get his attention without using your voice.You see，the clicks and whistles are almost the same as the words in human speech.Both are used for communicating.Hunting Without good hunting skills，the pod would not survive.Killer whales sometimes hunt by themselves to get their own food.The newborn babies are taught everything they need to know about hunting as a member of the pod.Killer whales eat salmon，squid，birds，penguins，sea turtles，seals，and porpoises.What they eat depends on what is in their area and what is available.Killer whales can break thin Antarctic ice.In this way，killer whales get their food，which can be penguins or seals. 【解题导语】 你喜欢看动物世界吗？那么你知道什么动物能把体型硕大的鲸吃掉吗？当然不是人类，而是一种被称为虎鲸的鲸。本文介绍了虎鲸的生活习性、交流方式及猎食方式等方面的信息。21Which of
