When she was a child, she liked watching programmes(节目) about animals. She also enjoyed going to the zoo with her grandparents. Her father worked to protect the natural world. Her mother and she often went on trips with him. Rebecca studied animals at university(大学) and later started working at a wildlife centre in Zambia. She worked with chimpanzees(黑猩猩) and studied how they lived. She was also interested in learning more about big cats like mountain lions. She made her first TV programme when she was 27. It was about tigers. At that time, she met Ray, her husband. They quickly learned that they shared the same hobbies and cared about animals in danger. Now Rebecca and Ray work together on many different programmes. They are planning to take their first trip to South America to study mountain lions. They would like to show people where the mountain lions live and what they eat. They’re interested in giving people information about the mountain lions and how to protect them.

It is a job for a special kind of forest—mangrove forest. In China, we call it hongshulin or “red forest”. Let’s go into a mangrove forest to have a look. They grow near the sea. They can grow up to 10 metres. They keep the land from the sea. This way, they protect the land from strong winds and waves. The trees stand tidy team, with shorter ones standing at the front and taller ones at the back. When typhoons(台风) come, they protect the towns nearby. Like other trees, mangrove trees take in CO₂to make oxygen. They are helping to keep the air clean and slow down climate change on earth. Mangrove trees can grow up to 10 metres. Many wild birds live here. Many birds stop by for food during their trip. Are the trees red? No, mangrove trees don’t have red leaves or flowers. They are green. But they have special bark (树皮). Their bark can be used to make red dyes(染料). The bark gets air through small holes. The holes can close during high tide (涨潮). This way, the tree won’t die. Some parts of the roots grow out of the water. They need more oxygen to live. They are also homes to snakes and lizards. The roots grow in salty water. They are not easy to get through. They make great homes for baby sea animals, like baby lobsters, baby turtles and baby fish. They can keep away from big animals. 6. What does Paragraph 3 tell us? A.

The roots of mangrove trees. B. The bark of mangrove trees. C. The leaves of mangrove trees. D. The flowers of mangrove trees. 10. What is the writer most likely to discuss next? A.
