The US plans to extend its endangered species protection to lions in Africa.US Fish and Wildlife Service(FWS)will classify lions in southern and eastern Africa as threatened.The move will place tighter restrictions on the import of lion“trophies”,such as paws or heads.

While the US cannot regulate hunting in other countries,the move is significant because around half of a11 lion hunting in Africa is conducted by Americans.According to FWS data,more than 5,600 lions have been killed and imported by American hunters over the past decade.

Under the new FWS rules,bringing lion parts to the US will be banned in most circumstances if the animal is from a country where lions are endangered.Hunters will have to show the trophies were“legally obtained”from countries that have“a scientifically sound management program that benefits the subspecies in the wild”·

This regulation is expected to place a far greater burden of proof upon hunters who claim that the money from lion hunting has been used to help communities in Africa and the overall conservation of lions.The persistent downward trend in lion numbers,due to habitat loss and hunting by locals and foreign tourists,suggests there has been little conservation benefit from organized hunts.

An international study,published in September,found African lion numbers have decreased by half since 1993,with a further 50%decline expected over the next 20 years for populations in west,central and east Africa·

“The lion is one of the planet’s most beloved species and an irreplaceable part of our shared global heritage,”said Dan Ashe,director of the FWS.“If we want to ensure that healthy lion populations continue to wander around the African savannas and forests of India,it’s up to all of us—not just the people of Africa and India—to take action.

1.Why will lions be classified as endangered in southern and eastern Africa?

C.Its numbers have been decreasing.

D.Both locals and tourists hunt lions.

2.Where do most of the lion hunters come from?

A.Southern Africa.B.America.

C.Eastern Africa. D.India.

3.What may be the result of the move ?

A.The import of lion parts will be strictly limited.

B.Lion-hunting will be illegal all over the world.

C.Communities in Africa will benefit a lot.

D.Lion parts will not be legally obtained.

4.What does Dan Ashe really want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A.Almost everybody loves lions.

B.It’s everyone’s duty to protect lions.

C.Lion populations will increase rapidly.

D.Measures must be taken to keep lions fit.

All hotels redecorate regularly.However,very few do it as frequently as Sweden’s Icehotel. As the name indicates,the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi,is built entirely from ice and,therefore,has to be rebuilt annually! The 26th version of Icehotel,which welcomed its first visitors on December 11th,features 69 rooms.To make them affordable for everyone,they range from expensive luxury suites(豪华套房)to basic accommodations.

Among this year’s unique suite offerings is the“Elephant in the Room”,which features a massive 3-m tall sculpted African elephant overlooking an ice—framed bed.The“Counting Sheep”suite features frozen sheep that may help those who don’t sleep well get a good night’s rest. Though the atmosphere between the luxury suites and the budget rooms may differ,they are all subject to the bone-chilling-5℃ temperatures.To get a good night’s rest guests have to lie inside sleeping bags and keep their gloves and hats on.Though that seems a little uncomfortable,visitors say it is an experience like none other.

The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in ice glasses.Though dining options are limited to the hotel’s only restaurant,guests will have little to complain about with Michelin—trained chef Alexander Meier.To keep customers entertained,the hotel offers a variety of fun activities like snowshoeing,moose or snowmobile safaris,dog sledding,and even overnight wilderness camping.

The 26-year-·old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to draw winter visitors to the remote village that lies 200 km north of the Arctic Circle.Among the many tourists was an adventurous group and they announced their intention of spending the night in the place where the exhibition was being held.That’s when the idea of building the icy accommodations dawned on the locals.

Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area’s city councilwoman (女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems.

Mark looked at the chart taped to the walls. There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.

It was too much for Mark. “ The problems are too big. ” he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said ,“ I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.”

Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. “ People should just take care of themselves.” He decided. “That’s enough to do. I can’t take on all the problems of the world.”

As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and a baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn’t have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved , her bag shifted and the groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. “ Thanks!” she said. “You have got great timing!”

“ Just being neighborly,” Mark said. As he rode home, he had a quick look at the walls of the bus. On one of them was “Small acts of kindness add up.” Mark smiled and thought, “ Maybe that’s a good place to start.”
