Zakynthos is a popular place in Greece for visitors becauseit has beautiful beaches. Visitors like going to the beaches on holiday, butmany of them 1 think about the animals there.
Every year, turtles (海龟) go to the Zakynthos' beaches too. Turtles live in the sea but theylay (产) 2 eggs on the beach. After laying, the motherturtles go back to the sea. About two months later，the 3 come out. They are very small. They have tofind their way to the sea. They have to get to the sea 4 they become birds' food.
Visitors often go tothe beach5 the turtles. Some mother turtles are so afraidthat they go back to the sea. They don't lay any eggs. When people walk overthe beach, they may walk 6 the turtle eggs and break them.
When the baby turtles come out, they7 the light (光亮)of cars, restaurants or hotels near the sea. Sometimes the light makes the babyturtles 8 the wrong way. The longer it takes them to getto the sea，9 danger they are in.
If people keep being careless about the turtles, they 10 see these cute animals years later.
Whenpeople think of tigers, they think: strong and dangerous. But now, the biganimal is calling for our help.
Therewere once eight kinds of 1 in the world, but three died out during the20th century. In the last 70 years, the 1 of Siberian tigers(东北虎) has gone from as many as 300 to 3 22 somewhere. The Siberian tiger has been 4 dying out completely. If the government doesn'tmake any efforts, it's quite 5 that there will be no more Siberian tigers inChina in ten to twenty years.
Inorder to double the number of wild tigers in the 6 ten years, the World Wide Fund for Nature hasstarted a programme recently. It 7 save wild tigers and put an end to tigerhunting and killing. China, together with twelve other 8, has joined in.
Wildanimals, such as red deer and wild pigs, are the main 9 of the tigers. The hunting of these animals isthe greatest threat(危险) to tigers. So the mostimportant thing is to 10 the animals that tigers eat. To protect thewild tigers, we need to call on more people to stop eating and hunting wildanimals.

Many years ago, there were thickforests in Britain, home to many animals. However, they no longer live here. Therewere wolves, bears and wild cattle. There were less than four million people. Theylived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.
However, all this changed. Now Britain'spopulation is up to 66 million. Three-quarters of Britain is fields, towns orcities. Although 25% of land is the countryside, there are fewer birds andsmall animals than ever before. Britain is one of the few countries in theworld without a large wild animal feeding on meat.
Some people want to change this. Somesay that Britain needs to become more natural again and suggest trees andplants that once grew in Britain should be allowed to grow again. They even saythat people should help large wild animals which have not lived in Britain toreturn and live wild. They call this "rewilding".
Not everyone agrees. In the last twentyyears, people have planted over one million trees and there are plans formore—but how about wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep oreven humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking inthe hills many people enjoy. So far, there are no wolves or bears in Britain'sforests—but soon there might be!

⑴Many pandas died in the big earthquake in Sichuan. Their homes are destroyed in the earthquake. ⑵Along with increasing temperatures, the extent of the ice field has declined. The polar bears have to live in a smaller place and a warmer environment. The number of them has been decreasing because of the bad conditions. ⑶Many trees are cut down. Tigers have no place to hide. Some people can kill them easily. ⑷Many rivers and lakes in the lower Yangtze Valley(长江下游)are polluted by the factories. Some rivers and lakes are circled into fields. There are few places for Chinese Alligators(扬子鳄) to live. So there are few Chinese Alligators in China now. ⑸More and more people like to wear the Shahtoosh(羚羊绒). So many Tibetan Antelopes(藏羚羊)are killed by those who want to make lots of money by selling their fur. Now they are endangered. |
A. Take measures to supervise(监管)the factories. Educate the factories not to pour the waste water into the lakes or rivers nearby. Organize people to clean the rivers and lakes around the city. B. Plant more trees. Let the animals live and hide in the forests. Take measures to forbid people to kill the wild animals. C. Build up a Tibetan Antelopes natural area in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau(青藏高原). Protect and control the area. Try to educate and advise people not to wear Shahtoosh. D. Try to refresh the polluted air. Supervise some factories'waste air. E. Rebuild the places that are fit for pandas to live in. Try to protect the rest of pandas. F. Try to improve weather condition. Stop the weather from getting warm. Try to save the ice field in North Pole(北极). G. Help clean the seas. Ask people not to throw the waste into the seas. The government should take measures to punish those who polluted the seas. Think about lots of ideas to make the seas clean and beautiful. |
In some parts of the world there are large deserts. There are no trees water there. Travelers must take food and with them. The only animal that can walk the desert is the camel. He can go food and water for a long time. Besides, he can carry heavy loads. People call the "the ship of the desert"．
The camel is very big. He has one or two humps (驼峰) his back, short ears and a long neck. The camel's humps hold fat, and his stomach holds water in twelve deep pockets. Each pocket a closed mouth and the food does not mix with the water. When the camel some water, he can get it out of pockets. The camel's food is grass and of trees.
From our start in1961,the WWF has worked to protect endangered species(濒危物种). We're ensuring(确保) that the world for our children will be home to elephants,tigers,giant pandas,whales and other wildlife species, as well as people.
WWF protects hundreds of species around the world,but we focus special attention on animals such as pandas, tigers,polar bears,endangered whales and dolphins,rhinos(犀牛)，elephants,marine turtles(海龟)and gorillas (大猩猩). These species are very important,because helping them can help many other species live in the same habitats(栖息地).
In addition to these animals,we work to protect lots of species in danger around the world that live within our priority ecoregion(生态区域). Our wildlife trade experts at TRAFFIC work to ensure that trade in wildlife products doesn't harm a species.
