There are many kinds of wild cats in Africa, such as the lion, the cheetah(猎豹) and the leopard(豹). African cats are beautiful animals but they are not safe. The biggest danger to African cats is losing their living places. Roads and farms leave less space for wildlife. The cheetah used to be seen around Africa. Today, the cat can only be found in certain places of Africa. They have lost most of their living places. Lions once lived all over Africa as well. But now their population is becoming smaller and smaller. Illegal hunting(非法捕猎) is also a problem to the wild big cats in some places.

There are protected areas in many parts of Africa. But outside those places, wild African cats may be killed. They may be killed for their beautiful skins. They may be killed for use in traditional medicines. They may be killed by people who hunt for sport, or fun.

Some organizations and groups, like the Cat Survival Trust(CST) and African Wildlife Foundation(AWF), are working to protect African cats. They are trying their best to make sure these cats can live in peace.

The job of protecting African cats is really difficult, but one small step could lead to bigger steps.

Mom and Dad--they’re two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day and, over your lifetime, they may influence you more than anyone else you will meet.

Moms and Dads need to care for their kids from the minute they are born. It’s a parent’s job to love and help kids--and most parents will do this as possible as they can, even when the “kids” grow up and have children of their own. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad.

Here are some ways you can stay close, get along and build a strong relationship(关系):

Spend time together. Don’t play a computer game or watch TV by yourself. Ask your mom and dad to play with you, go outside together, play a game, or read a book out loud. Try to spend more time together.

Share your feeling and ask for help. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re unhappy. Tell them if you’re sad or have a problem. They’ll be happy to help you .

Be kind and caring. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten a parent’s day with a hug, a card, or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. It’s important to show that you care for each other. Kids and parents show their love by respecting(尊重) each other, and being caring, polite and thoughtful.

Do your best at whatever you do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know you’re doing a good job.
