因此恐龍無法在地球上生活了。沒有人確切地知道恐龍是由于什么原因，又是怎樣在這么短的時(shí)間里從地球上消失的。我們知道，近來許多其他的野生動(dòng)植物、昆蟲和鳥類也滅絕了。根據(jù)聯(lián)合國(guó)的一份報(bào)告，在過去500年里，有844種動(dòng)植物消失。渡渡鳥就是其中的一種。它生活在毛里求斯島上，是一種非常友好的動(dòng)物。請(qǐng)聽一個(gè)關(guān)于渡渡鳥的故事，看看它是如何從地球上消失的。Thestoryofthedodo〔30頁(yè)聽力〕OnceuponatimeIlivedontheislandofMauritius.Iwascalled"dodo〞.Thereweremanyofusandwewerefriendswithalltheotheranimalsontheisland.Onedayanewanimalcametomyisland.HisnamewasMan,andatfirstweseemedtobegoodfriends.WewenteverywheretogetherandIsharedmyfoodwithhim.However,Ibegantowonderwhyseveralofmydodofriendshaddisappeared.Thenthenumberofourspeciesbegantodecreasequickly.IwassoworriedthatIaskedtheotheranimalsandtheyalltoldme,"YourfriendsarebeingkilledandeatenbyManwhileyouarehuntingforfood.〞HadManeatenthem"Icouldn’tbelieveit!WhenIaskedMandirectly,heseemedsurprised."Ihaven’tseentheotherdodoseither.〞hesaid."Maybesomeoneelsekilledthem.〞IbelievedhimbutwhenmoredodosdisappearedIsetatrap.IwentoffasifIwasgoingtohuntbutinsteadIhidintheforestandwaited.SureenoughMancamealong.Heranafterthelastofmydodofriendsandkilledher.IfeltsoangrythatIrushedoutofmyhidingplaceandstraightatMan’sspear.Hekilledmetoo.Afterthattherewerenomoredodosintheworld.Somymottois:becarefulwhoyoutrust.Problem1〔62頁(yè)workbook聽力〕DearAuntyGladys,Iamveryconcernedabouttheenvironment,butIalsolikeeatingfishverymuch.Iknowsomefishspeciesareendangeredbytoomuchfishing.Ialsoknowthatfishermanhavetocountthenumberoffishtheycatch.Iftheyhavetoomanyofonespecies,theyhavetothrowthembackintothesea.PleasetellmewhichfishIcaneatwithouthurtinganyendangeredspecies.Yours,LiKunProblem2DearAuntyGladys,IamaBengaltigerandIamveryunhappythatsomanypeoplewanttokillme.Iamaquiet,kind-heartedanimalandIliketolivealoneinmyforest.TheonlyanimalsIkillarethoseIamgoingtoeat.Ican'tunderstandananimallikemanwhoattacksmefornoreason.IknowIhaveabeautifulskin,butIamamazedthatIshouldbekilledforit.NowIfindmyhabitatisgettingsmallerandsmallerandIcannotmissmeetingman.Iamfrightened.WhatcanIdo"Yours,BengiProblem3DearAuntyGladys,IamayoungvisitorfromChina.IamveryinterestedinallthewonderfulplantsandanimalsyouhaveinEngland.ButI’venoticedthatyoukeepthebestanimalsinzoosandtheprettiestplantsintheparks.Whyaretheanimalsnotrunningaroundfreelyinthewildandwhyaretheplantsnotgrowinginforests"Yours,ZhaoJingTheReturnOfTheMiluDeer〔65頁(yè)〕MynameisLinHui.Iliketotellstoriesaboutpeoplewhoworktogether.Whatisevenbetteriswhencountrieshelpeachotherandbuildagoodfriendship.Ane*cellente*ampleofthishappenedwhenBritainandChinaworkedtogethertobringtheMiludeerbacktoChina.Miludeer,akindofanimalwithlargehorns(角),usedtobecommoninChinalongago.Likeotherdeertheylivedtogetherandategrassandthesoftpartsoftrees.Miludeerwereoftenkilledforfoodorsport.TheMingandQingdynasties(朝代)didnotprotectthemandmanywerekilled.ThatishowtheMiludeerdisappearedfromChina.Luckilybeforeallofthemwerekilled,someweretakentoBritaintoimprovetheenvironmentofthebeautifulparkwhichbelongedtotheDukeofBedford.HelikedthemsomuchthathetookthemfromChinatoBritain.Miludeerlikedthecool,wetweatherinEnglandandtheirnumberincreasedyearbyyear.Asaresult,whenin1985thegovernmentofChinawantedtobringbacktheMiludeer,theDukeofBedfordwasabletohelp.ThefirstdeercamebacktoChinatotheNanhaiziMiluPark20kilometerssouthofBeijingandthecentreinDafeng,Jiangsuprovince.ThedeercertainlyseemhappytobebackinChinabecausetheirnumberhasgrownquickly.TherearenowsomanyofthemthatanewparkhasbeenopenedfortheminHubeiProvince.AtthemomenttheMiludeerliveincentreswheretheyarebeingwellprotectedandcaredfor.Itishopedthatonedaytherewillbeenoughanimalstoletthemliveinthewildagain.我的名字叫林回。我喜歡講一些關(guān)于和我一起工作的人故事。更好的情況是國(guó)家互相幫助,營(yíng)造一個(gè)良好的友誼。比方，英國(guó)和中國(guó)一起把麋鹿運(yùn)回中國(guó)，就是一個(gè)很好的例子。麋鹿，作為一種有角的物種，很久以前就在中國(guó)了，這是很平常的事。像其他鹿類一樣，他們都住在一起,吃草和果樹的柔嫩局部，比方小樹枝。在過去，麋鹿經(jīng)常為尋找食物而活動(dòng)。明清時(shí)期沒有保護(hù)他們,因此很多都死了。那就是麋鹿消失在中國(guó)的原因。幸運(yùn)的是,在所有麋鹿都被殺了的情況下,其中一些被送往英國(guó),以改善貝德福德公爵的公園的環(huán)境。他喜歡他們,以至于他把他們從中國(guó)領(lǐng)到英國(guó)來。麋鹿喜歡英格蘭涼爽潮濕的天氣，并且它們的數(shù)量在逐年增長(zhǎng)。結(jié)果,當(dāng)1985年中國(guó)政府想讓麋鹿回來時(shí),貝德福德公爵也非常愿意幫助。第一個(gè)鹿回到中國(guó)20公里的天然公園Nanhaizi中心，它位于北京南部,江蘇省大豐。那只鹿好似很開心能回到中國(guó),因?yàn)樗麄兊臄?shù)量也在迅速增加?，F(xiàn)在有很多的麋鹿,一個(gè)在湖北的新公園已經(jīng)為他們而開啟。此刻的麋鹿住在公園中心,在那里他們得到很好的保護(hù)和照顧。希望有一天將會(huì)有足夠多的動(dòng)物,重新生活在野外。所以，英國(guó)通過帶回消失在我國(guó)故土上的一種動(dòng)物來幫助了中國(guó)。這是一個(gè)在這兩個(gè)國(guó)家之間，友誼和理解的很好的例子。66頁(yè)聽力Hu*iaoisaseniorhighschoolstudentwhoshowsagreatinterestinwildlifeprotection.Todayhehasgotagoodchancetointerviewavolunteer,AliceBrown,fromIBRRC.H*:Hello,Alice.I’msointerestedinyourworksavingbirds!Whatdoyouthinkisthemostdifficultpartofyourwork"AB:Well...Isupposeit’ssavingwildbirdscoveredinoil.That’sthemostdifficultofall.H*:Howdoesthathappen"AB:Theoilcomesfromboats.ItfloatsonThewaterandcoversthebirds’featherswhentheyswimthroughit.H*:Thatsoundsterrible.Wh
