A thousand years ago. Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest(森林). As more and more people 　1 　in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is 　2 　forest left(留下), though there are still some small areas(区域) covered with trees. We only call them woods.

Elephants, tigers and many 　3 　animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the 　4 　began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and 　5 　pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed 　6 　to keep themselves warm in winter, to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly disappeared(消失) because there was not enough food for them.　 7 　did most of the wolves(狼) and tigers. Monkeys and many other animals soon 　8 　in the same way.

You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong 　9 　in the zoos, but there are still about 36 different animals 　10 　there. One of the most interesting Hong Kong’s animals is the barking deer.

These are beautiful animals 　11 　a rich brown coat. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet(英尺) 　12 .They make a noise rather like a dog 　13 .

In Hong Kong the barking deer has only a real enemy(敌人) 14 　. People hunt these little animals though it is illegal(违法的). There are now not many barking deer.

So it is important 　15 　people to protect(保护) wild animals.
