Xie Liang, 80, has offered free help to people asking for directions for 8 years.

Every day, Xie goes to Dongzhimen Long-distance (长途) Bus Stop, and gives help to at least 1,200 people asking for directions. During holidays, the number may be even 3,500. There are more than 50 roads and streets meeting at Dongzhimen, and at least 100 thousand people pass by there daily.

　 The reporter of Beijing Youth Daily had an interview with Xie. At that time, he arrived at the bus stop and placed his little table with maps and guidebooks written by himself on it.

　 "Is it really free to ask you for the way?" said one with a strong southeast Chinese accent(口音)

　 "Of course," answered Xie with a smile. "Quite a number of people have asked me the same question. I am a volunteer."

　 The reporter found that at least 5 people came to ask him for the way in a minute, and Xie

told them the way patiently and gave every one of them a note with his words on it.

　 Xie has a husky(沙哑的)voice. People think that it's because of the result of his hard work.

Now Xie has encouraged several other volunteers to join him.

　 Many people hope to do volunteering like Xie, but it's hard to do as well as he does.

A thousand years ago Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest. As more and more people came to 　31　 in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is　32　 forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these woods.

　　Elephants, tigers and many　33　 animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the　34　 began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and　35　 pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed　36　 to keep themselves warm in winter, to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly disappeared because there was not enough food for them. 　37　 did most of the wolves and tigers. Monkeys and many other animals soon　38　 in the same way.

　　You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong　39　 in the zoos. But there are still about 36 different animals　40　 there. One of the most interesting of Hong Kong's animals is the barking deer. These are beautiful little animals　41　 a rich brown coat and a white patch (补丁) under the tail. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet　42　. They make a noise rather like a dog　43　. In Hong Kong the barking deer has only a real enemy--　44　. People hunt these little animals though it is illegal (违法的). There are now not many barking deer left. So it is important　45　 people to protect wild animals.
