Can we give a hand to those endangered animals? Yes, we may only do a little bit, but together our small actions add up to a lot.

1 Protect wildlife habitat (栖息地).

Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species (物种) is the widespread destruction (破坏) of habitat. Cutting down forests, farming, and development all result in loss of wildlife habitat. In areas where rare (稀有的) species live, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction (灭绝). By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together naturally.

2Reduce the threat (威胁) of invasive (入侵的) species.

The spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. Invasive species compete with native species for resources (资源) and habitat. They can even prey (捕食) on native species directly, forcing native species towards extinction.

3 Place decals (贴花纸) on windows.

It is reported that as many as one billion birds in the United States die each year because of collisions (碰撞) with windows. You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.

4 Slow down when driving.

Many native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. One of the biggest obstacles (障碍) to them is that created by roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant (不断的) risk to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you’re out and about, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.

Pizza and French fries taste good. Unfortunately, kids in the United States are eating _______salty foods like them.

The salt we add to food is about 40% sodium(钠). Our bodies need some sodium to work _______, but too much of it is not healthy.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) works to ______ people’s health. It studied the eating habits of more than 2,000 kids. It found that most kids eat about 1.5 teaspoons of sodium each day, which is almost double the ______ they should have.

This worried Zerleen Quader who works for the CDC. She is the lead author of the study. “Eating too ______ sodium now can set kids up for health problems later,” she said.

Researchers found that more than half the sodium kids eat _______ from packaged(袋装的) foods. Much of the sodium is in unlikely places.

Eating too much salt can raise blood pressure. That can lead to heart problems. Recently one in nine children has ________ blood pressure. There is good news, though. Eating less salt can lower blood pressure.

How can you cut back on the amount of salt in your diet? Kids at the age of 9 to 13 should get __________ more than 2,200 mg of sodium each day. For good health, look for foods with low or no sodium. Bridget Murphy is a nutrition(营养) expert. She says kids should try ______ spices (调味品) to food instead of salt. Try it, and your heart will ______ you. Eating more fruit and vegetables and cutting back on packaged and restaurant foods can also make a difference.

Zhong Nanshan, an 84-year-old doctor who became a household name 17 years ago for “daring to speak” in the fight against SARS, is the public face of China’s effort to control a new strain of coronavirus(冠状病毒).

The new coronavirus pneumonia from Wuhan affects the hearts of people all over the

country. Despite his advanced age, Zhong took an active part in fighting against the new virus, which has disturbed millions of Chinese during the long Lunar New Year holiday. His announcement on Monday that the virus could spread between humans added up worries about the outbreak. He said “The number is rising now and the rising trend will continue for some time, but I'm sure it won't be long.” The prevention and control work in communities is very important. People living in a community can keep an eye on each other on many issues, including wearing masks. Some are in a hurry to leave their hometown, some are busy reuniting, and some are rushing to the front. So in this critical moment, what we have to do is to ensure our own health, ensure the health of our families, stay indoors and make the greatest contribution to the society.

Come on, Wuhan! People all over the country come on! All the hard work will not be in vain, I believe we can win this war without smoke of gunpowder!
