According to the Living Planet Report 2020 by World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) in October， populations of several animals， including mammals (哺乳动物)， birds and fish， had fallen to sixty⁃eight percent since 1970. According to the report， one of the biggest reasons of wildlife loss is human activities. They affect three quarters of the world’s land. Many forests have been cut down to make farmland. About 300 kinds of mammals are dying out because humans are over⁃eating them. Another example is the over⁃fishing of the oceans， the Guardian showed. The Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) was one of the world’s largest freshwater (淡水的) fishes. It could grow to 7.5 meters. The fish has a big nose so it is also called “elephant fish”. The Chinese paddlefish was an ancient fish. It first appeared in the Jurassic period (侏罗纪时期). However，scientists from China said recently that the Chinese paddlefish had died out. “The challenge we face is to find ways to meet the needs of our growing population while protecting the environment，”the WWF said. It has called on world governments and businesses to work together to protect people and nature. To protect endangered animals， there are following things we can do. For example， we shouldn’t use things made of whale parts. We should all play a part in taking care of the beautiful earth and live in peace with the lovely animals. ( ) 26.

One place that is really important in my life is my grandmother’s house. She lives in a small village in the south. I go to visit my grandmother every summer. I can get away from the city and relax. The village is just a group of white houses on a hillside (山坡) with some small shops. But it’s really peaceful. One reason why I like the village is that it’s a beautiful place. My grandmother has a lovely garden and we can sit under the trees， drinking sweet tea and talking. It’s so comfortable. But the main reason why this place is so important to me is my grandmother herself. She is so kind to me， and wonderful to talk to. Also， she’s a great cook and the meals she prepares are simple， but so fresh and delicious. And she’s always giving me snacks during the day， so I always return home feeling cool， refreshed (神清气爽的) and fat！ I really love visiting my grandmother for the holidays. I think that I probably couldn’t live somewhere like that all the time. It would be hard to live in a small village where everybody knows each other. I’d like to live in a busy and exciting place. But I think this small village is the best place for me to take a break and stay with my grandmother. 51.
