Reading Task

Read the following article and answer the questions in your own words .

Steve Irwin was the enthusiastic host of the TV wildlife show The Crocodile Hunter until he
was killed by a stingray in 2006. Irwin's on-screen antics with dangerous animals, and his
Australian-accented cries of "Crikey!", made him an international celebrity and spawned
television specials, board games, action figures and a feature film, The Crocodile Hunter:
Collision Course (2002). Irwin grew up around wildlife at his parents' reptile park in
Queensland, Australia. An experienced trapper of crocodiles, he took over direction of the
park in 1991 and renamed it the Australia Zoo. In 1992 he married Terri Raines, a cougar
wrangler from the United States. The pair created The Crocodile Hunter TV show in 1992 and it
became a hit on American cable television. Irwin and his wife were soon regulars on televisions
worldwide, hosting shows that blended their personal lives with wildlife education. Irwin's
shows included Croc Files (2000), The Crocodile Hunter Diaries (2002), Confessions of the
Crocodile Hunter (2004), and New Breed Vets (2006). On 4 September 2006 he was killed by
a stingray barb to the chest while swimming with a cameraman near Port Douglas, Australia,
where he was filming a documentary titled Ocean's Deadliest .

Irwin had two children with his wife Terri: Bindi Sue (b. 1998) and Robert (b. 2003).... In 2004
Irwin was criticised for feeding crocodiles at his wildlife park while holding his infant son
Robert; Irwin was unapologetic and proclaimed that his child was never in danger.
