　　Wild animals are our friends, but many of them are getting fewer and fewer．We should try to protect them．The four animals below are now in danger．

　　Tibetan Antelopes

　　Tibetan antelopes(藏羚羊)are medium－sized animals．They mainly feed on grass．They are usually found in groups of about 20．They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes．Although people can get the wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool．The number of them is dropping year by year．There are less than 75, 000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago．

　　Golden Monkeys

　　Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province．Golden monkeys have golden－orange fur．They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads．They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos．But people are destroying the environment where they live．Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat．

　　Elephans

　　Elephants are very big and strong．They are bigger than any other animals on land．They are grey and have long trunks and tusks．They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell．They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks．Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours．Normally, they live in a group for many years．Young male elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old．Now, there are very few elephants in the world．The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming．Also, people hunt them for their tusks．

　　Wolves

　　Wolves are not very big．They have grey fur．Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell．Wolves’ food is vavious．They eat animals, insects and snails．They are friendly to each other and never attack people．They do not kill for fun．Wolves are in danger, too．They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests．Soon they will have no home or food．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　This dog was born on Christmas Eve in 2002．He was different from other dogs because he was born with only two legs．The poor dog of course could not walk and even his mother Sarah did not want him．His first owner Michael Johnson also did not think that he could survive and he was thinking of killing him．But then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him．She decided to teach and train this little dog to walk by himself．She called him “Faith”．

　　In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard(滑板)to let him feel the movement… Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure(诱惑)and reward for him for standing up and jumping around．Even the other dog at home encouraged him to walk．Amazingly, after only six months, Faith learned to balance on his legs and jump to move forward．After further training in this snow, he could now walk like a person．

　　Faith loves to walk around now．Wherever he goes, he attracts people's attention．He is fast becoming famous on the international scene and has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows．A book named With a Little Faith is now being published about him．He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies．

　　Jude Stringfellow, his present owner, has stopped working and plans to take him around the world to tell people “that even without a perfect body, one can have a strong will(意志)”．

　　Faith is a good example of the strong will and wonder of life．In life there are always unpleasant things．So, in order to feel better, you just need to look at life from another direction．I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day．
