Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.

Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.

Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.

Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.

For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks (鹰), the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice. Why? Because hawks eat mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers,the mice multiplied quickly.

Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.

Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

D. Animals in Danger

【2】Animals are important to us mainly because ____________.

A. People care much about animals because they need them.

B. People must not kill any animal or plant.

【题目】B

Childhood bullying has long been considered to have a cruel and unnecessary effect on too many youngsters’ childhoods. But the consequences of it can be felt into adulthood when it comes to mental health, a new study has found.

Persistent bullying when young is also linked to relationships breaking down and low employment, they said.

Scientists have discovered it has a strong link to mental health service use throughout a person’s life. The study, by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)King’s College London, tracked more than 9,000 people for about 40 years.

It found more boys than girls used mental health service in childhood and adolescence. On the contrary, more women than men were found to use it in adulthood.

Lead researcher Dr Sara Evans-Lacko said the impact of childhood bullying was most notable at an early age. But the associate professor from LSE’s personal social services research unit said it could still be significant at 50.

Individuals who were frequently bullied during childhood were more than twice as likely to use mental health services during childhood or adolescence,” she said. “Even at the age of 50, they were still 30 percent more likely to use mental health services compared to those who were not bullied. Half the adult population with a psychotic(精神病的)disorder already showed signs of poor mental health by the age of 15.

If unnoticed or untreated, the early onset (发病)of mental health problems could be the starting point of persistent disorders like depression and anxiety, self-harm and psychotic disorders, she said.

Early intervention to prevent childhood bullying would both help to stop distress and save money in healthcare over the course of a person’s life.

Dr Evans-Lacko said:Anti-bullying initiatives(举措)are relatively inexpensive, estimated at £15.50 per pupil per year, and offer good value for money. Given the current tremendous stress on the health system, policies and practices to prevent bullying should be a high priority.”

【1】According to Dr. Evans-Lacko, .

A. childhood bullying has crueller effects on women than men

B. childhood bullying’s effects can only be felt in adulthood when it comes to mental health

C. the mental health services are too expensive for ordinary people

D. People should pay more attention to anti-bullying measures

【2】What does the underlined word mean?

A. Important. B. Lasting. C. Obvious. D. Immediate.

A .they are bullied more than twice in their childhood

B. they are bullied frequently during childhood

C. they have reached the age of 50 without being bullied

D. they are 15 with poor mental health

【4】Where does the text most probably come from?

A. Reader’s Digest. B. Psychological Medicine.

C. The Times. D. National Geographic.
