【解析】
【原文】Yellowstone is the largest park in the United States, with a very large area and it’s the first national park in the world. Wild animals in Yellowstone are under good protection. They do not live in cages like animals in most zoos. The park is large enough for animals to walk freely just like in the wild. They are able to live in a natural way. Many people have visited the park since it opened in 1872.
Some animals in the park are not afraid of people. Sometimes people can get close to them easily. But people can’t hunt or feed animals in the park, because hunting or feeding will disturb animals’ life.
Yellowstone National Park sets a good example of how people and wild animals live together peacefully. Putting animals in the cages is not a good way of protecting them. If people realize the importance of wild animals, they should give animals a comfortable living environment.

The earth is the only planet that we can live on. However, our earth is facing serious environmental problems.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文:
The earth is the only planet that we can live on. However, our earth is facing serious environmental problems. For example, air pollution is becoming more and more serious. Factories release a large amount of waste gas into the air, and cars also emit a lot of harmful gases. This has a bad impact on our health and the environment.
First, we should walk, ride bikes or use public transportation instead of riding in cars when we go to school. Driving less helps reduce air pollution. Second, we should sort waste before throwing it away and then put it into its proper dustbin. Third, we should take good care of trees and flowers. Don’t walk on grass or pick flowers. What’s more, we should save energy. We should shut off the electricity or taps when we are not using them.
I believe that if everyone takes action, the environment will change for the better.
