Question 1 USE Read the following text and answer the questions below: The Extraordinary Clown Fish FEW fish grab our attention the way the clown fish does. Perhaps it wins our hearts with its fancy coloring, which may remind us of a circus clown. Or maybe we are struck by its surprising choice of home—among the stinging tentacles of a sea anemone. Not surprisingly, another name for the clown fish is anemoneñsh. Like many Hollywood actors, clown fish are not averse to photographs. “Divers and snorkelers can usually expect clown fish to pose for pictures, since they rarely stray far from home and are not particularly shy”, says David Wells, who is not only an expert in oceans and marine life, but also an amateur actor. But what makes clown fish extraordinary ¡s their seemingly risky lifestyle. Living among poisonous tentacles would seem to be comparable to setting up home in a nest of serpents. Still, clown fish and their anemone of choice are inseparable. What makes this strange partnership possible and successful? Like most good partnerships, clown fish and anemones give and take. The relationship is not merely convenient for the clown fish; it is vital. Marine biologists have confirmed that clown fish cannot live in the wild without a host anemone, They are poor swimmers and would be at the mercy of hungry predators without the anemone's protection. However, by using the anemone as a home base and as a safe shelter when threatened, the clown fish may reach ten years of age. (1) The anemone provides a safe nesting site as well as a home. The clown fish deposit their eggs at the base of the host anemone, where both parents keep careful watch over them. Later, the clown fish family can be seen swimming around that same anemone. What does the anemone get out of this relationship? The clown fish serve as marine bodyguards, driving away butterfly fish that like to feed on anemone tentacles. At least one species of anemone cannot live without resident clown fish. When researchers removed the clown fish, within just 24 hours, the anemones had disappeared completely. (2) Apparently, butterfly fish had consumed them. (3) It seems that clown fish even provide their host with energy. The ammonium that clown fish excrete helps spur growth in the host anemone. And as the clown fish swim among the tentacles, they help circulate oxygen- rich water to the anemone. 1. What is the article mainly about? | Select] Y 2.
