  I knew they were out there somewhere, and I was determined to find them.

  Like most tourists who visit Ranthambore National Park in India, I went with just one goal in mind:to see tigers in the wild.

  Twice a day, all year round, 10 open-topped trucks are allowed to rumble along the park’s dirt roads for a few hours.It costs 360 rupees(about $8, U.S.)to buy a seat on one of the trucks.Glimpses of tigers are free.

  Of course, nothing is guaranteed.Forty tigers wander Ranthambore’s 388 square miles.But tigers hear and smell us long before we can see them.Some tourists I met near the park were lucky enough to see a handful of tigers up close during just one trip.Other people saw none, even after going out six or more times.

  Still, I couldn’t pass up(miss)the excursion(short journey).It was an opportunity that might someday disappear.Tigers are among the most endangered animals on Earth.In India, where about half of the planet’s remaining 7000 wild tigers live, tigers face a number of threats, especially from a growing human population.More than a billion people live in India today, and development is rapidly expanding into what was once largely tiger territory.

  Conservationists nonetheless(in spite of that)remain optimistic.“The tiger will not disappear,”said P.K.Sen, director of the Tiger and Wildlife Program for World Wildlife Fund-India(WWF-India).He was kind enough to meet with me in his New Delhi office on a Sunday, the only day I spent in the city during a recent 3-week trip to India.

  There’s no way, Sen said, that people will ever let the majestic cats die out.“The tiger has been a symbol of strength and might for thousands of years,”he said.

     What's black and orange and growing for the first time in decades? India's tiger population! On Monday,
officials announced the results of the latest tiger count. The census (统计) totaled 1,706 tigers in forests
across the Asian country-about 300 more than four years ago. "These numbers give us hope for the future
of tigers in the world," said Jim Leape, international director of the World Wildlife Fund.
     A century ago, about 100,000 tigers lived in India's forests. But by 2002, a count showed that there were
only 3,600 left. The number dropped to 1,411 in 2007. What caused India's tiger population to shrink so
dramatically?
     More than anything else, experts say, development has taken a toll. People have moved into tiger territory
and destroyed much of the animal's habitat. Today, tigers live on a just small part of the land they occupied
100 years ago.
     Illegal hunting has also contributed to the decline. Poachers (盗猎者) can demand high fees for tiger parts,
which are a key ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. The parts from one tiger can sell for tens of
thousands of dollars.
     India's news is a step in the right direction. But while the number of tigers has increased there in the last
four years, the animals' habitat has shrunk. Roads and construction projects have blocked off many tiger
corridors-routes used by the big cats to go from one forest to another. "Securing these corridors should be
taken up as a priority," says Rajesh Gopal, of the National Tiger Conservation Authority.
     Last November, leaders from the 13 countries that are home to wild tigers met in St. Petersburg, Russia,
to develop a plan to help the endangered cats. They set a goal to double the world's tiger population by the
year 2022. Will we reach that goal? With India's tiger population on the rise and conservationists around the
world focused on helping the big cats, it seems it just might happen.
1. The underlined word "shrink" in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____.
A. develop
B. reduce
C. disappear
D. remove
2. Which is one of the reasons why India's tiger population declines?
A. Some living areas of India's tigers are destroyed by humans.
B. Roads and construction projects have bridged tiger corridors.
C. Some India's tigers have been hunted for to attract visitors.
D. Too many tigers are used in making traditional Chinese medicine.
