1. 保护野生动植物
Wildlife Protection
Dinosaurs died out because of an unexpected incident. But wildlife today disappears or is in danger just
because humans do harm to it. For example, tigers are hunted for fur to make carpets so that they can only live

2. A Horrible Earthquake
可怕的地震
Dirty water rose in wells and canals before the earthquake. But no one judged that an earthquake was coming.
Suddenly, everything shook. It seemed as if the world was at an end. Millions of brick houses and a number of
dams were destroyed. Railway tracks became useless bars. Pipes in mines burst and let out smelly steam.
Huge cracks trapped cyclists everywhere.
The next day, this event was the headline or main title of all newspapers. With the reporters giving an outline
of the disaster, the whole nation was shocked by the damage and the victim’s extreme
