Perhaps the most famous rare（珍稀）animal is the panda. Twenty years ago it was nearly extinct（灭绝的）. Now, its numbers are growing again. It is even a symbol for wildlife conservation（保存，保护）. But many other species have not been as lucky as the panda. Some are already extinct. Today, many more are in serious danger. This is because man hunts them and destroys their habitat. Is it too late to save wildlife?
A serious habitat problem arises（出现）because of pollution or opening new lands. Habitants take many years to grow again. When the wild animals lose their homes, the natural balance is also changed. If one animal, bird, or insect disappears, all the others suffer, too.
This is what is happening in the forests of South America. Africa and Asia. Habitats and animals are disappearing in Europe, too. Since 1947 in Britain, for example, 50% of the woods, low wet land, and 95% of meadows have disappeared. And what has taken the place of these green, natural places? Houses, farms, cities, streets, roads, and factories. Because of this (and pollution too) several British species are dying.
Then, what is the solution? There is only one way to save wild animals and wild habitats---conservation. This means man should protect animals in danger by establishing law, opening more national parks, building fewer new roads, planting more forests, and cutting pollution. If not, many wild animals will soon have just one habitat---the zoo!

A. the natural balance has changed
B. they are not as lucky as the panda
C. they are losing their homes
D. the places where they live are being destroyed
2. Another word which can be used in place of “habitat” is ________.

C. the more new roads are built, the fewer habitats animals will have
D. pandas are the lest lucky among the animals in the world
Children are by nature curious and energetic, and without proper guidance（指导）. It is easy for them to do things that are obviously dangerous. Experimenting with smoking is one of the most common of these dangers.
Tobacco（烟草）use among children has long been a problem in many countries around the world, including China. But even though people began growing concerned about it years ago, the problem remains unsolved. Presently, about 30 percent of children in China have at least experimented with smoking. One middle school student frankly admitted to us why he smoked.
“We smoke mostly because we are curious about it. Besides, our parents also smoke. They set an example for us. Sometimes, we are forced to smoke by bullies. You know, they will beat those who don’t obey them.”
The first paragraph tells us that one of the most common dangers is
