After squeezing out of a tiny opening, he quietly slipped across the floor. Then he slid down a drainpipe（排水管） to freedom. This wasnt a well-planned prison break. It was Inky, an octopus（章鱼） that escaped from the National Aquarium of New Zealand. He hasnt been seen since. Inky was given to the aquarium in 2014 by the fishermen who had caught him in the sea by accident. He impressed the staff He figured out how to open the top off a jar, said Rob Yarrall, the aquariums manager. But one morning, workers arrived at the aquarium to find Inky missing from his tank. Only his tank mate, an octopus named Blotchy, remained. The watery tracks leading from the tank to the drainpipe showed where he had gone. Experts figured out that Inky had squeezed through a small gap on top of his tank. He then slid more than 8 feet across the floor and slipped into a drainpipe about 6 inches wide. Finally, Inky slid down the 164-foot-long drainpipe and, most likely, retumed to his hometown. Octopuses are fantastic escape artists, said Alex Harvey, an.expert at the Marine Biological Association in England. They have a complex brain and excellent eyesight, and research suggests they have an ability to learn and form mental maps. They can also squeeze through extremely small spaces even ones as tiny as coins - since they have no bones in their-bodies. Inky is not the first octopus to make headlines. In 2009, an octopus at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium in Califomia took apart a valve(阀门) in her tankand aimed a tube out of the tank. It caused a huge flood. And in 2010, Paul, anoctopus in Germany, gained fame after appearing to correctly pick the winning teams in the seven Germanys World Cup soccer games.21. What can we learn about Inky in the first two paragraphs? A. It is strong. B. It is confident. C. It is patient. D. It is smart.22. Where is Inky most probably now? A. In the ocean. B. In a new tank. C. In the drainpipe.
