Faithful”
A. __________

Picture a place where you can see smelly gray mud bubbling up from the ground
and steaming hot water shooting out of rocks. In the distance, high waterfalls tumble
through colorful canyons.
It may sound like make-believe, but you can find all these things in Yellowstone
National Park. Yellowstone is in the United States and it’s the oldest national park in the
world.
B. __________
A national park is land set aside by the government in order to protect it.
Yellowstone was made a national park in 1872. People realized it was a very special
place that should be preserved.
National parks are also created so people can enjoy nature. In Yellowstone, you can
do things such as camp, hike in the woods, ride horses, and go fishing.
C. __________
Yellowstone sits in the Rocky Mountains. Most of Yellowstone is in the northwest
corner of Wyoming. But parts are in Idaho and Montana, too.
D. __________
The ground beneath Yellowstone contains a large amount of hot melted rock, called
magma. The magma heats water in the ground. The steaming water pushes to get to the
surface, much like steam whistling from a boiling teapot.
Sometimes the heated water forms a geyser. A geyser is a place where hot water
spouts up from underground. There are more than 300 geysers in Yellowstone, some big
and some small. Other times the hot water seeps from the ground as a hot spring. There
are even more hot springs in Yellowstone than geysers.
If you explore Yellowstone, you may also see steam vents, which is where steam
and other gases puff out of the ground. You can even find “paint pots” in the park. Paint
pots are holes full of bubbling mud that is thick like paint. Sometimes the pots smell like
rotten eggs or burnt matches.
E. __________

The most famous geyser in the world is Old Faithful and it’s in Yellowstone. It
blows its top about every 30 to 90 minutes. It shoots thousands of gallons of hot water
high into the air. Visiting Old Faithful is a highlight of any trip to Yellowstone.
F. __________
What else can you see in Yellowstone? How about Yellowstone’s own Grand
Canyon? It has two big waterfalls and high cliffs of yellow, red, and orange rock.
There’s a forest of stone trees in Yellowstone that is millions of years old. The trees
were once buried by ash from a volcano and were gradually turned to stone. There are
also beautiful lakes, rivers, and mountains to see and enjoy.
Yellowstone is rich with wildlife. Hundreds of kinds of birds live in the park,
including bald eagles, blue herons, and white pelicans. Yellowstone is home to many
large animals. Visitors may see black bears, grizzly bears, moose, bighorn sheep, deer,
cougars, herds of elk, and bison (buffalo).
Protecting animals in the wild is one of the most important tasks of the park. In fact, the
creation of Yellowstone helped save bison from being hunted to extinction in the late
1800s.
G. __________
Yellowstone was once home to thousands of gray wolves. But people thought they
were dangerous and killed them off. The last wolf in the park was killed in the 1930s.
In 1995 and 1996, biologists brought about 30 wolves from Canada and released
them inside Yellowstone. Wolf packs soon formed. New pups are born in the park every
year. There are now more than 200 wolves in and around the park! Today, seeing a wolf
is one of Yellowstone’s big attractions.
