A thousand years ago， Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest． As more and more people came to live in Hong Kong， these trees were cut down and burnt． Now there is no forest left， though there are still some small areas covered with trees． We call these woods．
Elephants， tigers and many other animals were living in the thick forest． When people came to live in Hong Kong， the animals began to die out． Early farmers grew rice and kept pigs and chickens in the valleys． They cut down the trees and burnt them．They needed fire to keep themselves warm in winter，to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals． Elephants quickly disappeared because there was not enough food for them． Many other animals soon died in the same way．
You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong except in 2005． But there are still about 36 different animals living there． One of the most interesting of Hong Kong's animals is the barking deer． These are beautiful little animals with a rich brown coat and a white patch under the tail．They look like deer but they are much smaller． They are less than two feet high． They make a noise rather like a dog barking． In Hong Kong the barking deer has only a real enemy﹣ men．People hurt these little animals though it is illegal， There are now not many barking deer left． So it is important for people to protect wild animals．

Mooncakes are one of the most popular foods during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

（4） （produce）mooncakes, you’ll need a mold（模具）. Molds are available in different sizes and depths. I usually use a traditional large （5） （wood）mold. But a plastic mold in a similar size will do just line.
Before cooking, I prepare several kinds of ingredients（原料）and make them into balls separately. The key to （6） （make）proper mooncakes is to gather each ball in layers（层）.

It is then pressed into a mold and carefully taken out into the oven.
It’s important to follow the cooking （8） （instruction）carefully. To prevent breaking up, I first cook mooncakes （9） a high temperature to set the pattern and shape. Then, I lower the temperature and remove them （10） （regular）to brush the surface with egg wash.

Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out．
Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this． As a boy， he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class． Now，aged 79，the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell（干细胞） researcher Shinya Yamanaka．
Like so many scientists，Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance（坚持不懈）can lead．
At the age of 15 in 1948， Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject． Gurdon's high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was "quite ridiculous"．
In spite of his teacher's criticisms， Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard． He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else． He experienced thousands of failures．
"My own belief is that we will， in the end ， understand everything about how cells actually work．" Gurdon said．
In 1962，Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic（基因的）information into an egg cell． The egg cell then grew into a clone（克隆）of the adult frog．This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996， the first cloned mammal（哺乳动物） in the world．
In 2006， Gurdon's work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample （样本） of a person's skin can be used to create stem cells． Using the technique， doctors can repair a patient's heart after a heart attack．
"Luck favors the prepared mind，" Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization． "Ninety percent of the time things don't work， but when they do， you have to seize（抓住） the chance．"
