Elephants are my favourite animals because they are strong and clever. They are a symbol of good luck in our country. They are our national animals, and we celebrate Thai Elephant Day on March 13th every year. Elephants are different from other animals. They are huge in size. With their long trunks, they are able to carry heavy things. They also have big ears. Elephants are similar to us in some ways. They are playful and love playing in the water. They have a good memory. For example, they can remember places with food and water after many years. They are also very kind. When an elephant is unwell, other elephants will help it. And the older elephants often look after the younger ones. Elephants play an important part in Thai culture and life. Sadly, they are in danger now. People cut down many trees and destroy their natural homes—forests. Some people even kill them for their ivory. We must do something to save the elephants. Elephants are important, and it’s our duty to protect them. 1．Why does Malee like elephants? A．Because they look playful. B．Because they have large sizes. C．Because they have long noses.

Since 1985, many seagulls (海鸥) have been visiting Kunming, These birds go a long way from the cold Siberia (西伯利亚) to find a warm place to stay in winter. It is hard for these seagulls to come to Kunming. They migrate (迁徙) from far-away cold Siberia to our hometown. They fly over mountains and rivers. They fly about 80 kilometers to the south every day, facing bad weather and many dangers along the way. It is about 6,000 kilometers to get to Kunming from Siberia. Seagulls like to be with their friends. They live in large groups for safety. When one seagull sees danger, it will make loud noise to tell others in the group. This helps them stay away from danger. A few years ago, scientists studied these seagulls. They put small GPS on some birds to learn more about where they go. They found out that the seagulls visited other places like Lake Erhai in Dali or even Myanmar (缅甸) before deciding that Kunming is the best place. The seagulls usually arrive in Kunming in October and stay here until March. So, why do seagulls like Kunming so much? Winter in Kunming is not too cold, with a nice temperature of about 10℃, which is friendly to seagulls. They also find a lot of food in Dianchi Lake. And the people of Kunming often give food to the seagulls in their free time. This makes Kunming not only a good living place for seagulls but also a place where they get love from Kunming people. 5．How long does it take seagulls to fly from Siberia to Kunming according to the text? A．About one month. B．About two and a half months. C．About four months. D．About half a year. 6．How do seagulls tell their friends about danger? A．By flying away quickly. B．By mailing loud noise.

Digby gets a lot of training (训练) with Patel. It learns to walk slowly and lead Patel to walk on the street and get books and magazines for him. It also helps Patel choose clothes when he goes shopping. Now, it is not a small horse. It is very big and about 0.8 metres tall, so Patel can’t take it to his company (公司). When Patel takes it to the office, it knocks (碰) things off the desks. So Patel has to say goodbye to Digby. Digby is very unhappy. Luckily, Digby has a new job.

Pandas once lived in a few parts of Asia, including (包括) Vietnam and Burma, but now they live only in some parts of China. Pandas spend about 12 hours every day eating. They mainly eat bamboo. And they always travel between different places to find fresh bamboo. Also, they eat fruit, other plants and some fish. Pandas usually live in cold and wet places. Their black-and-white coats keep them warm. Pandas are very good at climbing. If people or animals run after them, they will climb up the nearest tree very quickly. Their good hearing also helps them to avoid animals who want to eat them. There are about 1,900 wild pandas left in China. Their main problem is that their living places are becoming smaller and smaller. China has realized this problem and is trying her best to do things for pandas. Now, China has set up some special places which are big enough for pandas to live in. 1．Do pandas live a solitary life? 2．How long do pandas spend eating every day? 3．Where do pandas usually live? 4．What will a panda do if an animal runs after it? 5．What’s the main problem for wild pandas? B The whale is the largest animal in the world. It lives in the ocean. There are many different kinds of whales, such as the blue whale and the humpback whale. Whales are very big. The blue whale can be up to 30 meters long and weigh as much as 180 tons. They have a special way of breathing. They breathe through a hole on the top of their heads. Whales eat small fish and krill. They swim very fast in the ocean. Some whales can swim at a speed of up to 50 kilometers per hour. Whales are very smart animals. They can communicate with each other through sounds. These sounds can travel very far in the water. However, whales are in danger. People hunt them for their meat, oil and other products. We should protect these amazing animals and their living environment. 6．Where does the whale live? 7．How long can the blue whale be? 8．What do whales eat? 9．How do whales communicate with each other? 10．Why are whales in danger?

I’m writing to share ideas from an online article about protecting endangered animals. It really moved me recently.      Many animals are in danger of dying out, such as pandas and whales. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, they don’t have enough food and living space. Secondly, people cut down trees and pollute rivers, which destroys their habitats. Moreover, some animals are hunted for their fur, meat or other parts.      As a middle school student, I believe I can do something to help. For example, I can join volunteer groups to clean up the places where animals live. What’s more, I will tell people around me the importance of protecting animals and ask them not to buy things made from animals.      Let’s work together to make the world a better place for these lovely creatures.      Waiting for your reply. Yours,                                                                                                                                                                                 Li Rui B Save the Animals My favorite animal is the panda, which is not only cute but also a symbol of peace. However, pandas, like many other animals, are in danger because their habitats are being destroyed by human activities. We need to protect animals because they are our friends and play an important role in the ecosystem. Without them, the balance of nature will be broken, and it will affect our lives as well. To save the animals, we should take action. First, we can stop cutting down trees and plant more to provide habitats for them. Second, we should reduce pollution to keep their environment clean. Finally, we can spread the message to let more people know the importance of protecting animals. Let’s work together to save the animals and make the world a better place for all living creatures! $$
