I was 10 when I received a monkey as a pet in Singapore. Later, I knew my family did not have the necessary international permit to own it    21    (legal). With the help of local agencies, we sent the monkey to a zoo in Zambia, which    22    (release) into the wild ultimately. This experience got me interested in learning how to help monkeys.

One species I have studied is the critically    23    (endanger) Raffles’ Banded Langur (黑脊叶猴). According to some related statistics, there are just 320 individuals globally: 70 in Singapore and 250 in Malaysia. I worked    24    national agencies and local communities to help protect these and other monkeys — especially those    25    (live) between forest and urban areas. For example, in an area where roadkill is frequently witnessed, we installed (安装)    26    rope bridge to let these animals cross the road safely.

One of the biggest threats to these and other monkeys    27    (be) inbreeding (同系繁殖) as their numbers decline. We hope to exchange animals in Singapore and Malaysia    28    (improve) their population’s genetic health. I’ve started a website called Primate Watching to help observers learn about these animals. People think monkeys are aggressive,    29    actually they are just naturaly curious. Still, the pubic should always keep a safe     30    (distant) and avoid putting a camera near their faces.

More than 11,000 scientists from 153 countries have sounded the alarm on climate change. In a paper         31         (publish) last week in the journal BioScience, they signed a declaration (声明) stating clearly that planet Earth is facing a climate emergency, saying that if no changes         32         (make), the world will face untold suffering. The evidence that the scientists collected reveals an undeniable truth      33       human activities have been causing global warming from the fast rise of fossil fuel consumption     34      the increase in greenhouse gas emissions (排放) over the past 40 years.

The scientists also gave some instructions to fight against global warming,      35      (propose) six actions to prevent further disasters: stabilizing population        36       (grow) by investing into

family-planning services and girls’ education, replacing fossil fuels, cutting the emissions of climate pollutants, eating less meat, restoring and protecting ecosystems, and building     37    carbon-free economy.

The scientists say the climate crisis is        38        (close) related to human activities, so they call on people         39         (change) their life styles. But these measures are comparatively abstract.        40        , it is high time for policymakers to figure out more practical measures that can bring down carbon emissions.

You never forget your first whale. The impact it makes    41    you is huge and life is never quite the same again.

The world seems to be having more and more whale lovers. Since its beginnings in the mid-50s, whale-watching    42    (grow) quickly and now more than 13 million people join    43    (organize) whale watching trips every year.

The trouble is that a few hours of whale watching simply isn’t enough. You go out in the morning and,    44    lunchtime, you are planning your next trip; by teatime, you are planning the one after that. All your holidays center around whales: the only books you read are those about whales, you wear whale T-shirts, and    45    you meet your friends you talk about whales.

So, what is it about these larger-than-life animals    46    makes them so special? Their size is one possible explanation. Imagine    47    (sit) in a small boat next to a blue whale almost as long as a Boeing 737; only a lump of rock could remain    48    (unmove) by an experience like that.

They are great fun to watch, too. Humpback whales, for example,    49    leap into the air and land back in the water with a huge splash. Then there is the striking and deeply moving level of trust    50    many whales show towards people. It’s a truly humbling experience when an enormous whale comes alongside the boat and greets you like an old friend.
