V.Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
The Galapagos Islands are the home to some of the last giant tortoises left on
earth. Hundreds of years ago, thousands of tortoises wandered around these
islands. However, all that changed when people started landing there. Sailors
used to row ashore and seize as many tortoises as they could. When the
ani¬mals were aboard the ship, the sailors would roll the tortoises onto their
backs. The tortoises were completely helpless once on their backs, so they
could only lie there until used for soups and stews.
The tortoises faced other problems, too. Settlers arrived bringing pigs, goats,
donkeys, dogs and cats. Donkey and goats ate all the plants that the tortoises
usually fed on. Dogs and cats consumed thousands of tortoise eggs each year.
Within a few years, it was hard to find any tortoise eggs - or even any baby
tortoises.
By the early 1900s, people began to worry that the last of the tortoises would
soon die out. No one, however, cared to do anything about the problem. For
another fifty years, this situation continued. Finally, in the 1950s, scientist
decided that something must be done.
The first part of their plan was to get rid of as many cats, dogs and other
animals as they could. Next, they started looking for wild tortoise eggs. When
the eggs hatched, the scientists raised the tortoises in special pens. Once the

increasing every year.
