READING COMPREHENSION:

Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping
drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about dolphins,
the more we realize that their society is more complex than people previously imagined. They
look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in
the community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it
is much more probable that they communicate with each other without needing words. Could
any of these mammals be more intelligent than man? Certainly the most common argument in
favor of man's superiority over them that we can kill them more easily than they can kill us is the
least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the
less we appear superior when we destroy them.

can kill us ----.
