Every two years, the World Wildlife Fund(世界野生动物基金会) gives the Living Planet Report-a report on Earth’s health. The report for this year came out on Oct 30. It says that the number of animals like mammals (like elephants, lions and tigers), birds and fish falls by about 60 percent from 1970.

We are losing wildlife day by day. Humans should take this seriously, Vox Media said. It also plays an important part in our life. For example, a 2017-study said the number of flying insects(昆虫) fell by 75 percent in 30 years. Insects help plants have new seeds(种子). Without them, we will have a broken ecosystem. The report also shows that Earth has lost about half of its shallow water coral(浅水珊瑚) in the past 30 years. One-fifth of the Amazon rainforest disappeared in just 50 years.

This is mainly because of human activity. Climate(气候) change, losing living environment, environmental pollution and endless killing are some of the biggest reasons.

All over the world, people are cutting down forests, using too much water from rivers and putting waste into the sea. There is no human activity on only a quarter of the earth.

We need to find ways to meet the needs of our growing number of people, the WWF said. Different countries should work together to help the wildlife out of danger. Most importantly, humans cannot live by themselves in the world without other animals. To help the endangered wildlife is to help humans themselves.

Most of us eat to satisfy our appetite (胃口) for delicious food. But due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), many Chinese people are changing their eating habits.

Because of busy work schedules, ordering simple and quick meals online used to be common for many young people in China. Zhang Xiaoyan, a 30-year-old from Nanjing, was one of them.在工作日,她通常在办公室吃外卖食品而不是在家下厨。Even on weekends, she would prefer takeout food, which demanded (需要) little time.

Now, she rolls up her sleeves(袖子) and cooks for herself. “Cooking sometimes is quite time-demanding but it helps me have a healthy eating habit.” Zhang told China Daily.

Instead of eating in the restaurant, cooking at home has become more and more popular. Some even share food videos on their We Chat Moments at meal times.这被认为是一种与朋友沟通的特殊方式。

Besides eating at home, many people also developed the good habit of using serving chopsticks and spoons. They thought it was not clean to use their own to eat dishes. They also eat separately in order not to get infected (感染).

Healthy eating habits and maintaining good order have become real problems for us. It’s related to people’s health and safety, and it’s also a personal responsibility during the pandemic (疫情) stated Guangming Daily.

The disease is still spreading, and more must be done to bring it under control. As long as these habits are good for our health, we should keep them from now on to fight against the virus.
