We

human

beings

haven’t

been

good

friends

to

animals.

For

thousands

of

years,

we

have

been polluting the environment, making it hard for animals to live on the planet. We have been

killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous. As a result,

many kinds of animals have disappeared forever. Hundreds more are on the endangered list today.

Should we care about animals? Of course we should. If animals of a certain kind all disappear,

they will never come back again. Animals are more than just resources of things we need. Every

kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying any kind of animal can lead to

many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(

鹰

), the corn and grain

that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice.

With

less

and

less

hawks

to

keep

down

their

numbers,

rats

and

mice

multiplied(

繁殖

)

quickly.

And if people kill too many birds, more and more insects will eat the crops.

Luckily,

we’ve

realized

that

we

shouldn’t

kill

animals

any

more.

And

people

are

working

hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect

the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. These laws forbid

the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. We should try our best to protect and save

the endangered animals.

25. The text calls on us to__________.

Time

be

most

enjoyable,whether

you

are

a

book

the

become

attracted in some book or other,and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far

couldn’t

get

the library

the only

co

py

he

could

find

was

in

a certain

bookshop.

Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time.

One

day,

however,

he

was

disappointed

to

find

the

book

missing

from

its

usual

place.

He

was

about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off,

he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was hidden in a corner.

“I put it there in case someone else bought it!”

he said, and left the delighted student to continue

his reading.

Are you new to experiencing relationships? Well

，

let me give you advice on how to have a

healthy relationship with your partners.

Be an honest person with them. Don't hide things from them

，

and don't lie. Don't be afraid to

say things that aren't very flattering about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important

element in any relationship. If there's no trust

，

there's nothing there.

36

37

.Now

，

respect isn't just simply treating them nicely. There' s a lot more to it. You

have to learn to adjust to their liking. Basically

，

learn to study your partners' moods,wants and

needs. Don't just think about yourself

，

but think about what your partners need as well.

Make sure you are encouraging to your partners. Always be willing to help them and

give

them honesty and positive at the time. Make them feel you are someone they can really count on

(

指望

)and build a future with.

38

Make sure you have a good sense of humor with them. Laughter is the key to happiness.

Laugh a lot with them

，

and joke with them. Laughter may seem silly

，

but it's the secret to a lot in

life. It will keep the sparks alive.

39

Make

sure

the

communication

is

good.

This

usually

goes

along

with

trust

，

so

always

communicate

how

you

feel

even

if

it's

something

that

upsets

you.

40

If

they

did

something that made

you unhappy

，

tell them about it in a respectful manner

．

It's important to

communicate this to them

，

not to keep it bottled up.

A. Make sure you give them respect.

B. Laughter keeps the relationship strong and lasting.
