In January 1992, a metal container fell from a ship in the Pacific Ocean. There were 28,000 plastic ducks inside the container. Ducks sailed on ocean currents. Since then, they have appeared on beaches around the world. They landed in Canada and Alaska. People have found them in Scotland and the Arctic. They traveled thousands of miles to the coasts of Europe, South America and Australia. But they have not yet finished their incredible journey. Scientists have studied duck beetles around the world and relied heavily on ocean currents. They think that about 2,000 ducks are still in the sea more than 20 years later! Writer Donovan Hon wrote a book about them. Its title is Moby-Duck, as his favorite book is Moby-Dick, a classic novel about the search for the white whale. Moby-Duck is a search for thousands of yellow ducks for the bath! But it's much more than that. This has drawn attention to the terrible problem of plastic pollution: how bags, bottles and other containers form islands of rubbish that have been floating around the world for years, poisoning our oceans. Answer the questions your notebook. 1 Where were the ducks before they were in the sea? 2 How did the ducks arrive in Alaska? 3 Why did Donovan Hohn call his book Moby-Duck? 4 What problem does Moby-Duck talk about? 5 What kind of sea pollution does the text mention?
