16.A group of police blocks off narrow streets with their cars.They move quietly,spot the target,and close in,taking a group of smugglers(走私贩) by surprise.A few seconds later,the victims are discovered.
The location:a street market in the city of Sao Paulo,Brazil.The victims:birds,American lizards,and tortoises snatched(抢走) from the wild.The smugglers planned to sell them at the market.
"People who want to own a wild animal increase the illegal wild animal trade,"says Juliana Machado Ferreira,a National Geographic explorer who works to fight the illegal wildlife trade.Removing too many animals from the wild upsets the balance of nature."If people truly love wildlife,they will want them to be free,"she says.
Each day illegally caught wild animals are carried thousands of miles to be sold as pets,food,or ingredients for traditional medicines."Wildlife illegal trade is one of the largest illegal trades in the world,worth about 20billion dollars a year,"says Matthew Pritchett of Freeland,an organization that fights the illegal wildlife trade."The United States is one of the top three markets in the world for illegal wildlife products."
Smugglers use special ways to take the animals through airport security checks.But smart police use their own tricks to catch them.Read the following story.
How many finches-small singing birds-can you fit inside a purse?At least 25,as it turns out.When a woman from Guyana,a country in northeast South America,started acting nervously at JFK airport,U.S.customers and border protection agents x-rayed her bags.They found birds called seed finches stuffed inside hair curlers!The agent called FWS (Fish & Wildlife Service) officers to take the birds,which will live at a zoo.The woman,however,was singing a different song.
33.What is Paragraph 1mainly about?A
A.Police catching smugglers.
B.A game of hide-and-seek.
C.Victims being found.
D.A scene of a movie.
