如何学习去帮助野生动物
Daisy
常常渴望去帮助濒临灭绝的种类的野生动物。一天她
醒来发现一个正在飞
行的飞毯在她包里。
“你想去哪里？”它问
。
Daisy
立刻回答它。
“我想去看
那些
濒临灭绝的动物，
”她说。
“请带
我去那个我可以找到供给皮毛去制造这件毛衣的
动物的一个遥远的地方。
”
飞毯立刻带她飞去了西藏。
在那里
< br>Daisy
看到了一支看
起来很伤心的羚羊。它说，
“我们被杀是为了我们肚子下的毛。我们的皮毛被人
类用来制造像你
这样的毛衣。
因此，
现在我们是一种濒临灭绝的种类。
”
然后
Daisy
哭喊
着，
“我很抱歉我不知道那些。我想知道神马可以被做来帮助你们。飞毯，
请带我去一个有一些野生动物保护区的地方。
”
<
/p>
飞毯飞得如此的快以至于他们下一分钟就在
Zimbabwe
。
Daisy
转来转去然后发现
她被一头大象盯着。
“你过来跟我照相了么？”
它
问。
Daisy
松了口气突然笑起来。
“不要笑，
”大象说，
“我们曾经是濒临灭绝的品种。农民好不
仁慈地猎杀我们。
他们说我们破坏了他们的天地，和来自那些只游览大工厂的游客的钱。
所以政府
决定去帮助。他们允许游客给钱农民然后可以去猎杀确定数量的动物。现在农民
很高兴而且我们的数量在增加。所以好事情正被做于营救当地的野生动物。
”
Daisy
微笑了。<
/p>
“那是个好消息。它展示了野生动物保护的重要性，不过我喜欢去
帮助像
WWF
这样的建议。
”
飞毯再次升起然后几乎同一时间他们在一个阴霾的热
带雨林。一支猴子看
着他们就像它摩擦它自己。
“你在干神马？”
Daisy
问。
“我
在保护自己不受蚊子的伤害，
”它回答。
“当我找到一只千足虫昆虫，我会在我身
< br>上摩擦它。它包涵了一种强大的可以影响蚊子的药物。你应该更加注意那些我居
住
的热带雨林并好好鉴赏动物们如何居住在一齐。没有雨林，没有动物，没有药
物。
”
Daisy
很惊
讶。
“飞毯，请带我回家这样我可以联系
WWF
并开始保护这种新的药
物。猴子，请过来帮忙。
”那猴
子同意了。飞毯飞回家了。当他们降落时，事物
开始消失了。两分钟后所有东西都消失了
-
那只猴子也是。所以
Daisy
不能去制造
她的新药物。不过如此的一段经历！她已经学习了那么多
！还有那里的
WWF......
ANIMAL EXTINCTION
（

页）
Many
animals have disappeared during the long history
of the earth. The most
famous of these
animals are dinosaurs. They lived on the earth
tens of millions of
years ago, long
before humans came into being and their future
seemed secure at
that time.
There were many different kinds of
dinosaur and a number of them used to live in
China. The eggs of twenty-five species
have been found in Xixia, County, Nanyang,
Henan Province. Not long ago a rare new
species of bird-like dinosaur was discovered
in Chaoyang County, Liaoning Province.
When scientists inspected the bones, they
were surprised to find that these
dinosaurs could not only run like the others but
also
climb trees. They learned this
from the way the bones were joined together.
Dinosaurs died out suddenly about 65
million years ago. Some scientists think it came
after an unexpected incident when a
huge rock from space hit the earth and put too
much dust into the air. Others think
the earth got too hot for the dinosaurs to live on
any more. Nobody knows for sure why and
how dinosaurs disappeared from the
earth in such a short time.
We know many other wild plants,
animals, insects and birds have died out more
recently. According to a UN report,
some 844 animals and plants have disappeared in
the last 500 years. The dodo is one of
them. It lived on the Island of Mauritius and
was a very friendly animal. Please
listen to a story of the dodo and how it
disappeared from the earth.
从地球有史以来的这段漫长时期，许多动物都消失了。这些动物中最有名的是恐
龙。千百
万年前，恐龙就在地球上生活，比人类的出现要早得多，当时它们的前
景好像也很安全。
当时有许多不同种类的恐龙，
其中有很多种类曾经生活在中国。
25
个种类的恐龙蛋是在河南省南阳西峡县发现的。
不久前，
在辽宁省的朝阳县新
发现了一种罕见的、
形状像鸟一样的恐龙。科学家们观察它们的骨头时，惊奇地
发现它们不仅跟其他恐龙一样
可以跑，而且还可以爬树。科学家们是根据恐龙骨
骼的连接方式得知的这些。
恐龙大约在
6500
万
年前就突然地灭绝了。有些科学家认为恐龙灭绝是发生在一
件意外事故之后，当时宇宙间
一块巨石击中地球因而在空气中扬起太多的尘土。
另外一些科学家们则认为，地球变得太
热，因此恐龙无法在地球上生活了。没有
人确切地知道恐龙是由于什么原因，又是怎样在
这么短的时间里从地球上消失
的。
我
们知道，近来许多其他的野生动植物、昆虫和鸟类也灭绝了。根据联合国的一
份报告，在
过去
500
年里，有
844
种动植物消失。渡渡鸟就是其中的一种。它生
活在毛里求斯岛上，是一种非
常友好的动物。请听一个关于渡渡鸟的故事，看看
它是如何从地球上消失的。
