Saving Elephants
Elephants are the largest land animals on the earth and play a crucial role in their ecosystems.
They are known as “ecosystem engineers” because they help to shape the environment around them. Elephants are intelligent creatures that live in complex social groups, much like human families. However, these magnificent animals face many threats, including habitat loss, poaching (偷猎) and human-elephant conflict.
Habitat Loss
The most significant threat to elephants is the loss of their natural habitat. As human populations grow and expand into wild areas, elephants are forced to live in smaller and more crowded spaces. This leads to a decrease in the availability of food and water, which can weaken the elephants and make them more susceptible to diseases.
Poaching
Another significant threat to elephants is poaching. Poachers kill elephants for their ivory tusks, which are then sold illegally on the black market. This illegal trade has led to a dramatic decline in elephant populations across Africa and Asia.
Human-Elephant Conflict
As human settlements encroach on elephant habitats, conflicts between humans and elephants are becoming more common. Elephants may raid crops or destroy property, leading to retaliation from humans. This can result in the injury or death of both elephants and humans.
What Can We Do?
To protect elephants, we must take several steps. First, we need to preserve their habitats by creating protected areas and limiting deforestation. Second, we must crack down on the illegal ivory trade by enforcing stricter laws and penalties for poachers. Lastly, we can raise awareness about the importance of elephants and the threats they face, encouraging more people to join the fight to save these incredible animals.

C.Habitat loss. D.Human-elephant conflict.
3.What is the main reason elephants are poached?
A.For their meat. B.For their skin.
C.For their ivory tusks. D.For their bones.
4.What can be done to help preserve elephant habitats?
A.Expanding human settlements into wild areas.
B.Creating protected areas and limiting deforestation.
C.Encouraging more deforestation for agriculture.
D.Ignoring the issue.
5.What is one way to crack down on the illegal ivory trade?
A.Ignoring the problem.

The polar bear (北极熊) is a very big white bear. We call it the polar bear because it lives inside the Arctic Circle (北极圈) near the North Pole. There are no polar bears at the South Pole.
The polar bear lives in the snow and ice. At the North Pole, there is only snow, ice, and water. There is not any land. You can’t see the polar bear in the snow because its coat is yellow-white. It has a very warm coat because the weather is cold there.
The polar bear is about 3 meters long, and it weighs (重) about 450 kilos. It can stand up on its back legs because it has very wide feet. It can use its front legs like arms. The polar bear can swim very well just like a fish. It catches fish and sea animals for its food. It goes into the sea when it is afraid.
People like to kill the polar bear for its beautiful white coat. The governments (政府) of Canada, the US and Russia say that no one can kill polar bears now. They do not want all of these beautiful animals to be gone.

The finless porpoise (江豚) is a kind of small whale that lives in the Yangtze River. It is one of the most endangered animals in China. There are only about 1,000 finless porpoises left in the wild.
Finless porpoises are friendly and smart. They have round heads and no dorsal fins( 背鳍), which makes them different from other whales. They feed on fish and shrimp. They can swim very fast and often jump out of the water to breathe.
However, the finless porpoise is in great danger. The main reasons are water pollution and overfishing. Factories pour waste water into the Yangtze River, which makes the water dirty. Overfishing reduces the number of fish that porpoises eat. Also, the construction of dams (大坝) changes their living environment.
To protect the finless porpoise, the Chinese government has taken many measures. For example, it has set up nature reserves (保护区) along the Yangtze River. Fishing is not allowed in these areas. Also, stricter rules are made to stop water pollution. Scientists are also studying the porpoises to learn more about their behavior and how to protect them.
Everyone can do something to help. We should not throw rubbish into rivers. We can also tell our friends and family about the importance of protecting the finless porpoise. Let's work together to save this lovely animal.

Southern Pudus are very small. They’re about the size (大小) of a dog. They have brown fur. At first, they have white spots (斑点), but when they are three months old, they have no spots on their bodies.

When the koala baby is born (出生), it is very small. It has no hair, no ears, and can’t see anything. It lives in its mum’s pouch (育儿袋), and stays there for about 6 months. Then it starts to see and grows ears and hair. After 8 to 9 months, it’s too big to stay in the pouch, so it spends all its time on its mother’s back. At about 12 months, it leaves its mum and builds its own home. Usually, a koala can live for 16 years.

Saving Elephants
Elephants are the largest land animals on the earth and play a crucial role in their ecosystems.
They are known as “ecosystem engineers” because they help to shape the environment around them. Elephants are intelligent creatures that live in complex social groups, much like human families. However, these magnificent animals face many threats, including habitat loss, poaching (偷猎) and human-elephant conflict.
Habitat Loss
The most significant threat to elephants is the loss of their natural habitat. As human populations grow and expand into wild areas, elephants are forced to live in smaller and more crowded spaces. This leads to a decrease in the availability of food and water, which can weaken the elephants and make them more susceptible to diseases.
Poaching
Another significant threat to elephants is poaching. Poachers kill elephants for their ivory tusks, which are then sold illegally on the black market. This illegal trade has led to a dramatic decline in elephant populations across Africa and Asia.
Human-Elephant Conflict
As human settlements encroach on elephant habitats, conflicts between humans and elephants are becoming more common. Elephants may raid crops or destroy property, leading to retaliation from humans. This can result in the injury or death of both elephants and humans.
What Can We Do?
To protect elephants, we must take several steps. First, we need to preserve their habitats by creating protected areas and limiting deforestation. Second, we must crack down on the illegal ivory trade by enforcing stricter laws and penalties for poachers. Lastly, we can raise awareness about the importance of elephants and the threats they face, encouraging more people to join the fight to save these incredible animals.
1.What is the primary role of elephants in their ecosystems?
A.They are predators.
B.They are prey.
C.They are ecosystem engineers.
D.They are migratory animals.
2.Which of the following is NOT a threat to elephants?
A.Overpopulation of elephants. B.Poaching.
C.Habitat loss. D.Human-elephant conflict.
3.What is the main reason elephants are poached?
A.For their meat. B.For their skin.
C.For their ivory tusks. D.For their bones.
4.What can be done to help preserve elephant habitats?
A.Expanding human settlements into wild areas.
B.Creating protected areas and limiting deforestation.
C.Encouraging more deforestation for agriculture.
D.Ignoring the issue.
5.What is one way to crack down on the illegal ivory trade?
A.Ignoring the problem.
B.Enforcing stricter laws and penalties.
C.Encouraging the trade.
D.Reducing the demand for ivory.
The polar bear (北极熊) is a very big white bear. We call it the polar bear because it lives inside the Arctic Circle (北极圈) near the North Pole. There are no polar bears at the South Pole.
The polar bear lives in the snow and ice. At the North Pole, there is only snow, ice, and water. There is not any land. You can’t see the polar bear in the snow because its coat is yellow-white. It has a very warm coat because the weather is cold there.
The polar bear is about 3 meters long, and it weighs (重) about 450 kilos. It can stand up on its back legs because it has very wide feet. It can use its front legs like arms. The polar bear can swim very well just like a fish. It catches fish and sea animals for its food. It goes into the sea when it is afraid.
People like to kill the polar bear for its beautiful white coat. The governments (政府) of Canada, the US and Russia say that no one can kill polar bears now. They do not want all of these beautiful animals to be gone.

The finless porpoise (江豚) is a kind of small whale that lives in the Yangtze River. It is one of the most endangered animals in China. There are only about 1,000 finless porpoises left in the wild.
Finless porpoises are friendly and smart. They have round heads and no dorsal fins( 背鳍), which makes them different from other whales. They feed on fish and shrimp. They can swim very fast and often jump out of the water to breathe.
However, the finless porpoise is in great danger. The main reasons are water pollution and overfishing. Factories pour waste water into the Yangtze River, which makes the water dirty. Overfishing reduces the number of fish that porpoises eat. Also, the construction of dams (大坝) changes their living environment.
To protect the finless porpoise, the Chinese government has taken many measures. For example, it has set up nature reserves (保护区) along the Yangtze River. Fishing is not allowed in these areas. Also, stricter rules are made to stop water pollution. Scientists are also studying the porpoises to learn more about their behavior and how to protect them.
Everyone can do something to help. We should not throw rubbish into rivers. We can also tell our friends and family about the importance of protecting the finless porpoise. Let's work together to save this lovely animal.

②Chinese white dolphins live in the sea. Their color changes from dark gray (灰色) to white with age. When they swim or jump, their color turns pink (粉红色). They like eating fish. They can grow to about 2.7 meters long and live up to 30-40 years.
③However, Chinese white dolphins are in danger. Now there are about 6,000 Chinese white dolphins in the world. The number of them is small, so people call them the “giant pandas of the sea”. Why is the number of the animal so small? Well, people kill them for meat and other things. And they don’t have much food to eat because of people’s activities at sea. Also, the sea gets bad, so it’s difficult for them to live and have babies. To protect (保护) them, people do a lot these years.
④Every animal counts. It’s time for everyone to protect Chinese white dolphins.

There are many different kinds of deer (鹿) in the world. Southern Pudus in South America are one of them.
Southern Pudus are very small. They’re about the size (大小) of a dog. They have brown fur. At first, they have white spots (斑点), but when they are three months old, they have no spots on their bodies.
Southern Pudus usually live in small families in the forest, so it’s not easy to see them. They feed on fruits, flowers and other plants. They don’t need to drink much water because they get water from their food.
Southern Pudus are in great danger for many reasons. Many animals, like wild cats, eagles and foxes, kill them for food. What’s more, people keep cutting down trees, so they have no place to live.

China has made great progress in protecting (保护) animals like pandas and Asian elephants. Their habitats are getting better, so they have more living space now. And their numbers are growing. Recently, the government (政府) shared this good news on World Wildlife Day.
National parks are important! There are clean forests, rivers, and mountains in these parks. China is building large nature parks to protect over 80% of its important wildlife. This brings good changes. For example, the number of Siberian tigers (东北虎) is now 70—up from 27 in 2017.
The government is also taking strong steps. It not only makes new rules to protect animals, but also uses scientific ways to help animals have babies. What’s more, the government also puts money to save forests. As a result, the number of pandas is now nearly 1,900—up from 1,100 in the 1980s. Snow leopards (雪豹) are more than 1,200 in the wild! The Abies beshanzuensis (华东银杉) had only 3 trees long ago. Now, 4,000 grow in the wild!
China also sets up many science centres for endangered animals and scientists work there to find better ways to protect them.

Koalas (考拉) are cute animals. They have small eyes, a big nose and round ears. And they have very short tails. They can’t run fast.
