　　Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in north-east China．It is one of the world’s most important wetlands．The reserve covers an area of 210,000 hectares．The area provides food and shelter for wildlife．It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants, fish and birds．

　　Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some only stay there for a short time．There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food．Zhalong has long been called “the home of the crane”．There are 15 crane species(物种)in the world．8 of them are in China and there are 6 species in Zhalong area．It is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes．There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world．Every spring and summer, red-crowned cranes lay and hatch(孵化)their eggs in Zhalong．

　　Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings．This means there will be less and less space for wildlife．More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space．Many of them died．The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, and they can be safe in Zhalong．

　　Every year, a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds．This year, members of our Bird-watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their numbers．The study begins next month．

　　We _________ once a year．We are now inviting secondary school students to help．We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds．

　　Many people do not understand the importance of the wetlands．We hope this information will help them understand and make them actively take action to protect wildlife．

　　Do you like traveling? How can you make your trip interesting? Here's some advice．

　　Before you leave, you should find some information about the place, such as its geography, history and people．You can introduce that place better by reading．

　　If you want to take some photos, remember to choose the most special sights．Don't choose the sight you can see in other places．For example, Qingdao and Ningbo are coastal cities, so don't only take photos of the sea．You should take photos of something else, too．

　　You'd better taste some specials(特产)in the area．Food in some places is very delicious．So why not taste it? Maybe you have just one chance to taste it in your life．

　　When you visit a place, you should take a pen and a notebook, so you can write down what you see and what you think during the trip．

　　It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs．In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't．It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs．But this isn't accepted by all people．

　　Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living．This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education．In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school．People can get education for a living in a short time．Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone．Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either．Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living．

　　Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man．It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities．After that, it is to make hime a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human．Education is to make a man lead a better life．Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world．

　　I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most improtant or the main reason．
