Once there were many thousands of Gourma Desert （沙漠） elephants in Mali， a country in West Africa． Now． there are fewer than four hundred．
Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly？ On the one hand， the elephants' main lake． their only water source （来源） dried up． On the other hand，the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans．
To protect the elephants' living environment， the Mali Elephant Project （MEP） was started in 07． MEP met with local people and helped them make rules of using land and water． As a result， the situation became better and there was more food， forest and grassland．
However． from 2012 to 2016， poaching （偷猎） and illegaltrade in the elephants increased rapidly Eighty﹣three elephants were lost in 2015 alone， and another fifty﹣one elephants were killed in 2016．"If this situation goes on， all the Gourma elephants will be killed by 2020．" said a member of MEP．
Luckily． the voice of MEP was heard． More organizations （组织） have joined together to educate the local people that trading elephants is against the law．Elephant poaching has dropped to a very low level． The local people have learned to live peacefully with the elephants，one of the wildlife treasures in the world．

I have a friend called Mark. Last Sunday it was a beautiful day. When it got too hot, Mark rolled up his sleeves. I was very surprised to see that he had a tattoo! Then he told me he has lots of tattoos. He has tattoos on his arms, legs, chest and back. So of course I asked him lots of questions about the tattoos!
“It was ten years ago,” he said, “I remember I was on an island in the middle of the sea. I chose a dolphin tattoo because I wanted to have something about the sea.”
“I liked the idea of doing more designs about the sea. So after the dolphin I had an octopus, and then a starfish. These are on my left leg. Then, over my left arm I had lots of fish swimming together. They took a long time to do. I also have a crab and a lobster too!”
“Most recently I got a mermaid. It was finished two weeks ago. I saw a painting of a beautiful mermaid in a museum. I took a photograph and then decided to get a tattoo. I made the design a little simpler.”
“People ask me if getting a tattoo hurts. It depends. If you feel relaxed then it’s OK. But if you’re tired or nervous then you feel it more. It also depends where on the body the tattoo is done.”Where did the writer find the tattoo?
A. On Mike’s sleeves. B. On Mike’s arms. C. On Mike’s body. When was the mermaid done?
A. Ten years ago. B. Last Sunday. C. Two weeks ago. Where did he get the idea for the beautiful mermaid?
A. From the sea. B. From a painting. C. From the cinema. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.
A. it’s not good to feel nervous when getting a tattoo
B. people can do anything they like with their tattoos
C. people have different feelings about their tattoos What does “tattoo” mean?
A. 烟草 B. 图片 C. 文身
