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） 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．The number of them is dropping year by year． There are less than 75， 000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world．
Golden Monkeys
Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan， Gansu， and Shanxi provinces． Golden monkeys have golden﹣orange fur （皮毛）．They move around in the daytime． 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．
Elephants
Elephants are very big and strong． They are bigger than any other animals on land． They have poor eyesight， but very good hearing and smell． They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunk （象鼻）． 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．They eat animals， insects and snails． They are friendly to each other and never attack （攻击） people．Wolves are in danger， too． They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests． Soon they will have no home or food．

The friendship between humans and dogs possibly began 14000 years ago．Here are four examples of"a dog's life"in the human world today．
Treated like a queen
Tiffy is one of these dogs．Her owner，Nancy Jane Loewy，treats her like a queen．She patiently prepares Tiffy's meals of meat，fish，chicken and different kinds of fresh vegetables．Tiffy also eats yoghurt and biscuits after dinner．Loewy's husband has a very good job and her two sons are away at university，so she has the time and money to treat Titty very well，and she truly enjoys doing it．"I want to give her the healthiest，most wonderful life as long as possible，"she says．
Food sniffer dogs （嗅探犬）
Food sniffer dogs work at international airports in the United States．Their job is to smell and find illegal （不合法的）fruits，vegetables and other foods in bags and mail．These foods sometimes bring insects and diseases which could be dangerous for plants and animals．The dog calmly sits down next to anything that smells suspicious （可疑的）．The dog's human partner then checks for illegal foods．Sniffer dogs are friendly and cute，so they don't scare people as they sniff through the crowds．More importantly these dogs have an astonishing nose for food．They can find food in bags 84% of the time．
Animal carers
Jessic is a whippet （小灵狗）that visits very sick children in hospital．She shows them her love and when they feel down，Jessie makes them happy．Jessie helps patients to stay strong during their time in hospital．
There are many different kinds of animals that help people．We train"service dogs"to help people with physical disabilities．The best known service dogs are guides for the blind．But they can also learn to _______，turn lights on and off，pick up objects from the floor and even pull wheelchairs．
Doggie detectives （侦探犬）
Search﹣and﹣rescue （SAR） dogs use their amazing noses to find people．They can smell tiny clues （线索）that people leave wherever they go．These include bacteria （细菌），small pieces of clothing and hairs．They may find missing hikers and search through rubble （碎石）after earthquakes and other disasters．

Tourism （旅游业）is one of the world's largest industries． Many countries depend heavily on tourism as an important part of their economy（经济）， while other countries﹣such as some of the smaller Caribbean island nations﹣are almost completely dependent on tourism．
Despite its economic advantages，tourism has disadvantages， too． While countries spend millions attracting tourists， they are also under the pressure that tourism brings．
One of the biggest problems is environmental． The building of roads and hotels can quickly destroy those very beautiful places． Development on wetlands，for example， influences wildlife； forests disappear as they are cleared to make way for buildings and to provide fuel （燃料）． In addition， the tourist industry also puts a huge pressure on water people need． In dry Mediterranean areas， tourists use almost twice as much water as local people when swimming in the pool．
Tourism is also responsible for producing plenty of waste． Cruise ships in the Caribbean produce a lot of rubbish﹣more than 70，000 tons each year． It even has an influence on places far away like the Himalays，the word's highest mountain， which has more than 100 tons of rubbish sitting on it．
In spite of those problems， tourism can be good for communities and the environment． The park﹣entrance fees（费用）are paid for the protection of places of interest or the animals． What's more， tourism brings people closer to nature， and can give them a better understanding of the environment and the result of destroying it．This leads to pressure on local governments to protect these beautiful areas，and can result in the protection of endangered plants and animals． Also， it can provide people with more opportunities to find jobs in the tourist industry．
Although tourism has many advantages， it clearly has a bad influence as well． The challenge for local and national governments is to manage tourism so that communities can benefit economically， and yet at the same time， make sure that the tourist areas are kept for all to enjoy．
（1）Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly talk about the of tourism．
A．disadvantages
B．development
C．importance
D．survey
（2）The writer shows the waste problem is serious by ．
A．telling stories
B．listing facts
C．asking questions
D．making comparisons
（3）According to Paragraph 5，which of the following are the advantages of tourism？
①The money from tourism is used to protect the environment．
②Tourism can help people better understand the local culture．
③People can get more chances to find jobs related to tourism．
④Humans and nature are becoming closer with the help of tourism．
A．①②③
B．①②④
C．①③④
D．②③④
（4）The writer advises the government to at the end of the passage．
A．attract more tourists
B．care about the economy
C．develop the tourist industry
D．manage tourism well
