阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The AWF is one of my heroes because it helps the animals in Africa stay alive and
警
keeps them from dying out.They are trying to conserve wildlife by saving animals whose
mothers were killed by poaching()or from lack of food and water or loss of homes.
量
They are also trying to conserve land by making it a protected area.
The AWF helps animals and the environment.AWF's task is as follows:"The African
Wildlife Foundation,together with the people of Africa,works to ensure the wildlife and
wild lands of Africa will exist forever."They save their land through research and protec-
ting wildlife habitat.
My friend Erin feels it isn't the organization that is heroic but the people working for
the organization.The people of the AWF risk their lives working in war zones and danger-
ous jungle environments to save African animals that are at risk of extinction.Each of these
"heroes"is working to save a specific African animal that is at risk.The most famous was
Diane Fossey who was working with gorillas()in the early 1980's and was murdered
in the war.They made a movie about her devotions called Gorillas in the Mist.There are
many other heroic people working with different animals that didn't get so much publicity.
The AWF's headquarters is in Nairobi,Kenya.The countries where it works include
Kenya,Tanzania,Mozambique,Zambia,Zimbabwe and many others.The AWF was foun-
ded in 1961 to increase awareness of the problems with different programs in the 1970's as
well as continuing the more hands on aspects of saving the animals to this day.
The biggest task of the AWF is to bring back all of the animals from near dying out.
数
The foundation cannot do this by itself:it needs the global help to save the animals.For ex-
ample,Starbucks has agreed to help but much more is needed.There is little the foundation
都
can do by itself without financial support.
