Penguins（企鹅） live together, but each pair has a little ground of their own. When a penguin wants to walk through its neighbor’s （邻居） ground, it must ask permission（允许）. If it does not, it will have to fight. Penguins come and to all day. They catch fish and look after their children.
All penguins are good parents-the male（雄性的）penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They walk in from the sea in the middle of the dark Antarctic（南极的） water. They choose their wives in the dark. They can only hear them-not see them. Then the female（雄性）penguins lay their eggs and go away for about two months. The male penguins look after the eggs. If the eggs get cold, there will be no chicks（幼鸟）. There is no food. The snow falls and the wind blows sometimes at 150 kilometers an hour. The penguins do not move. When the females return from the sea, they will not remember their husbands．It does not matter. Only one thing matter-the eggs．Male penguins never fight unless（除非）a penguin leaves a chick for a minute．Then they fight because they all want it．They are strange and wonderful birds．

The Pacific Ocean（太平洋）has a lot of strong tsunamis because of the size of the ocean and large earthquakes there．China doesn’t see tsunamis often because its sea floor is quite flat（平的）．
Islands around China also help the country avoid（避免）from them．
What should you do when there is tsunami? Move to a safe place．If you are near the sea and you feel the earthquake，move to higher ground．Stay away from rivers and streams（溪流）．
