【题目】 ANIMALS IN DANGER!

How much do you know about animals in danger? Read the short passages below.

10 million reptiles are killed every year. Their skin is used to make fashion items, like handbags and shoes.

The main reason whales are in danger is that man kills them for their meat and oils.

Orangutans live in rain forests. They want to live in peace, but people are cutting down the trees for wood and farming. This is a big problem because the trees are the orangutan’s homes. They are very difficult to find and study because they are shy animals. They are also our cousins!

There isn’t enough bamboo for pandas to eat because man has cut down nearly half the bamboo forests. Research has shown that there are only about 600 giant pandas left in the wild in the world. Most of them live in China.

Some people steal the turtle’s eggs to eat. The skin of the turtle is used to make some jewellery(珠宝).
