1. - Read the text below and answer the questions.
The name Chupacabra comes from the beast’s reported habit of attacking and drinking
the blood of farm animals, especially goats, similar to what a vampire does. Physical
descriptions of the creature vary. The first person to see it said it had a ‘reptilian body,
oval head, bulging red eyes, fanged teeth and a long, darting tongue’. In other reports,
its height was approximately 1 to 1.2m high, and it stood and hopped like a kangaroo.
It also made hissing sounds and had a terrible odour. Another description mentioned a
heavy creature, like a small bear, with spikes from the neck to the tail. Where did the
myth originate? The world first heard of this new vampire beast from a lady in Puerto
Rico in 1995. She reported that eight of her sheep died with bite marks and no blood
left in their bodies. Other events in the country followed and finally, a comedian spoke
about the chupacabras. From Maine, in the north of the USA right down to Chile in
South America, including Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador,
Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Brazil and Mexico, this modern myth is spreading. In Chile it
was first seen in Calama, where 500 sheep were killed. It has also been sighted in cities
such as Concepción and Puerto Montt.
