Where did all the tigers go? That’s what Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh wants to know．India’s Sariska Project Tiger Reserve, once home to 26 tigers, is now home to none．Singh has ordered a police investigation into the 1 ，and created a new taskforce to save the 2 animals．
Tigers are an endangered species(物种)．Half of the world’s tiger 3 live in India．For years, tigers have been disappearing from India’s national parks, but Sariska may be the last straw．And the government has to react．
On Thursday, Singh held the first meeting of 4 officials, wildlife experts, and related leaders, aiming to count the nation’s remaining tigers, and to come up with a plan to keep them safe．
It is not hard to guess why the tigers are disappearing．Poachers(偷猎者)can 5 the big cats for ＄50,000 each．Tiger skin and bones are popular in Chinese 6 ．A single tiger tooth can fetch ＄120．Recently, a group of poachers admitted killing ten tigers in Sariska and were 7 ．
“Indian tiger poaching is probably the biggest conservation problem in modern times．” said Belinda Wright, the head of the Wildlife Protection Society of India．
However, poaching isn’t the only 8 ．Many poachers use advanced technologies, like night glasses and long–range binoculars．Forest security officers are paid so 9 that few of them bother to track down the poachers．Even if a security guard were to find a poacher, many carry only a stick to make him obey the law．
Tiger fans hope that Singh’s plans mean end for the poachers and 10 for the endangered species．
Downloading music over the Internet is pretty common among high school and college students．However, when students download and share copyrighted music without permission, they are against the law．
A survey of young people's music ownership has found that teenagers and college students have an average of more than 800 illegally copied songs each on their digital music players．Half of those surveyed share all the music on their hard drive(硬盘), enabling others to copy hundreds of songs at any one time．Some students were found to have randomly linked their personal blogs to music sites, so as to allow free trial listening of copyrighted songs for blog visitors, or adopted some of the songs as the background music for their blogs．Such practices may be easy and free, but there are consequences．
Sandra Dowd, a student of Central Michigan University, was fined US＄7, 500 for downloading 501 files from LimeWire, a peer－to－peer file sharing program．Sandra claimed that she was unaware that her downloads were illegal until she was contacted by authorities．Similarly, Mike Lewinski paid US＄4, 000 to settle a lawsuit(起诉)against him for copyright violation(违反)．Mike expressed shock and couldn't believe that this was happening to him．“I just wanted to save some money and I always thought the threat was just a scare tactic(战术)．” “You know, everyone does it, ” added Mike．
The RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the organization that files lawsuits against illegal downloaders, states that suing(控告)students was by no means their first choice．Unfortunately, without the threat of consequences, students are just not changing their behavior．Education alone is not enough to stop the extraordinary growth of the illegal downloading practice．
