7.Pierre is a 25-year-old penguin(企鵝)at the California College of Sciences.Because of his old age,he was going bald,which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool.Therefore,scientists at the college had created a wetsuit for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool.
Unlike other animals,which have a layer(層)of blubber(油脂) to keep them warm,penguins depend on(依靠)their feathers.Without them,Pierre was not willing to jump into the swimming pool and trembled on the side of the pool whilen another 19penguins played in the water.
"He was cold,he would shake,"said Pam Schaller,a scientist,Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm.Then she got another idea:if wetsuits keep humans warm in cold climates,why not make one for Pierre?Schaller designed the suit,which covered Pierre's body and had small openings for his feet.
"I would wald behind him and see if the wetsuit would fit him well.If not,I would cut and refit until it was very suitable,"she said.
One problem was that the other penguins would refuse Pierre in his new suit,but in fact,they accepted his new look.He swam freely and got along with others well,although he was the only penguin with a black stomach.
Schaller could't say surely whether the wetsuit allowed Pierre to grow his fine feathers again,but certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during the special time.
Pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back.

38.Schaller followed Pierre in order to seeA.

B.whether other penguins would attack him
C.if the wetsuit kept warm
D.whether the wetsuit would keep the feathers from the growing

A.feeling scared    
B.staying alone    
C.shaking with cold      
D.having a sleep
