hundred years ago there were maybe 100,000 tigers in the world. Today scientists are not sure how many are left, as it is difficult to count them. There rnay be only between 5,000 and 7,000 tigers in the world.
Tigers are only found in Asia. Already they have disappeared from many
countries. There are no longer any Caspian(黑海的) tigers in Central Asia. They have died out in the two islands of Java (爪哇 ) and Bali (巴里) . The situation in some
parts of Asia is also very serious. There are perhaps only 100 Chinese tigers left. In
eastern Russia, the number is a little higher. There are about 450 tigers left. On the
island of Sumatra (苏门答腊) , which has many thick forests , there are maybe 500
tigers.
Why has the number fallen so quickly? The first reason is that tigers are
meat-eaters. They need a lot of land to find enough food. Also they live in forests and many of these have been cut down. At one time, tiger shooting was a sport ,
especially in India. Local(当地的) people some- times kill tigers because they kill their cows. The other reason is that dead tigers are used for Traditional Chinese Medicine. All parts of the body are used, including the bones and whiskers (须) . People who
take TCM think chat these medicines will make them live longer.
How can we protect the tigers that are left? First, some wildlife parks have been
created. In these reserves (自然保护区 ) ,local people may not kill tigers and the
forests may not be cut down. And 145 countries have agreed to stop selling tiger
parts for medicine. With luck , the tigers can be protected in the few areas of the
world where they still live.
B. Fastern Russia.
C. Sumatra.
D. China.
B. Tigers don't like living in forests.
C. Tigers have been killed for TCM and to protect other animals.
D. People still kill tigers for sport.
B. all parts of the tiger's body are used in TCM
C. people have kept tiger's body parts for a long time
D. scientists know that TCM gives people a longer life
B. Protect cows from tigers.
C. Stop selling tiger's body parts for TCM.
D. Stop cutting down forests.
B. Saving the tigers
C. Fewer and fewer tigers left
D. More and more tigers needed

the TV. Still more ads! Everywhere you look, someone has something to sell.
Here are some ways ads get us to buy. Some ads use famous people. Stars are paid to sell a product.
Think about it. Do they really know about medicine? Do they know about soft drinks? There people may be
famous, but they may not know about what they are selling.
Some ads make you think you're getting the word of an expert. They say, "Doctor said." A man in a white
coat comes on TV. He looks nice."I use Bright and White," he says. This man looks like a doctor. But he is
an actor. He has been paid to sell this product.
Does soap have anything to do with a pretty child? But ads may show their product with something nice,
such as the sun, the flowers and so on. Such an ad is about feelings rather than facts. Ads are full of strong
words. Words like "new" and "improved" have strong influence. They can help a product sell. The soap may
be called "Spring Rain". A car may be called "Tiger". Strong words work on our feelings. Some ads make
promises (承诺). But can they keep them? No.
Some ads use our fear of being too late. "Buy now!" they say. "Selling ends soon." Check to see if this is
true. Don't hurry. Take time to think. All ads hope we will buy something, do something, or think in a certain
way. Know what ads are doing. Ask questions to yourself. Don't let their words and pictures fool you.
B. Because they want to serve the people.
C. Because they can make money from the ads.
B. 专家
C. 演员
B. Some ads make promises to people and they can keep them.
C. Ads are full of strong words, such as "new" and "improved".
B. a kind of computer
C. a kind of soap
B. We should buy things that ads ask us to buy.
C. We should think about ads before buying things.
