So what is rewilding？

Imagine our natural homes growing instead of shrinking. Imagine species diversifying instead of declining. That’s rewilding. Rewilding offers hope for wildlife， humans and the planet.

Why is rewilding important and necessary？

· Our natural ecology is broken. The places where you would expect wildlife to exist have been reduced to wet deserts. The seabed has been destroyed and there have been no living creatures any more.

· Our wildlife is disappearing. Many wonderful species have declined over the past century. We’ve lost more of our large animals than any European country.

· Nature looks after us. Good natural ecology can provide us with clean air and water， prevent flooding and store carbon. Rewilding can leave the world in a better state than it is today.

What are challenges？

As a long-term project， our “Rewilding Britain” has its challenges. Many people are not interested because we have got used to the lack of native forests. Many farmers oppose the idea. They thought it a crazy idea to bring back predators （捕食性動物） because they would start killing farm animals. It takes time to educate them. Above all， we need money！ So we need your help！

Make a donation.

Help us bring back living systems and restore wild nature！

With your help we can：

· Open up new chances for rewilding and push for change.

· Develop tools to educate， influence and spread the word.

Thanks for your support.

An unusual trip to Hawaii brought two strangers closer and closer and their story deserves a wide spread.

As Uemoto’s plane sliced through the sky above the ocean， there came a sudden thunderstorm. Five minutes later， Uemoto and her copilot McMahon heard a strange sound. Then， without warning， they lost power to both of the engines. It took them a moment to know the fact that the plane was struck by lightning and it might crash. The pilots powered through the items on the emergency checklist. Nothing worked. As the plane was falling， they jumped into the ocean.

By ten that night， their bodies began trembling （發(fā)抖） uncontrollably in the cool night air. Something must be done to pull them through. Swimming on her stomach， Uemoto had McMahon wrap his arms around her knees so he could rest his head on the back of her legs. To be with someone else and to feel another person’s comforting presence in the darkness somehow made the suffering bearable.

When the sun rose the next morning， they caught sight of the island of Hawaii， the destination they had dared dream！ Suddenly， Uemoto saw a shark， which made her breath catch in her throat. “What do we do？” Uemoto asked， panicked. “Just keep looking forward！ If it comes close， I’ll kick it in the eye！” said McMahon evenly. Unexpectedly， the shark circled them for about 30 minutes. Then， as quietly as it had appeared， it swam off. Uemoto and McMahon breathed a sigh of relief.

After struggling in theY/HRqdNiJFf0wusIPEdYQImm/Qn1177JqBaAU8ZtEXw= water for over 20 hours， there came a US Navy helicopter. It flew overhead and next banked towards them. Uemoto and McMahon burst into tears. Alone， either of them would have died. But together， they made it.

On a cool morning， Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that he’s tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti， who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.

Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish， but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school， he learned how to tell the paw prints （爪?。?of a lion from those of other animals.

Growing up， Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai， tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path， searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.

Each year， thousands of tourists crowd Kenya’s national parks to try to have a look at the “big five”： elephants， rhinoceros， leopards， buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya’s wildlife disappears， so does its second-largest source of income （收入）.

Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively （專有地） for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas. They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.

28. How did Kasaine track lions？

A. By learning about their habits. B. By running after them.

C. By working together with tourists. D. By studying their paw prints.

29. Unlike Kasaine， many others tracking big animals is to .

A. avoid them B. kill them C. catch them D. feed them

30. What can we learn from Paragraph 4？

A. Maasai people are born animal lovers.

B. Tourism is a big threat to Kenya’s wildlife.

C. Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.

D. Small animals are not included in their protection list.

31. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to？

A. Kenya’s economic development. B. People’s leaving their original homes.

C. Kenya’s second-largest income source. D. Kenyan people’s traditional Maasai lifestyle.

Guam is a beautiful， small island in the Pacific Ocean. But the small island has a big problem： snakes. There are about 2 million brown tree snakes living in Guam. The snakes likely arrived in the 1940s. They probably slipped （滑行） unseen onto ships and planes heading to Guam. Once there， the snakes laid eggs. Snake families grew. The snakes have no natural enemies to eat them on Guam. Soon， the island was covered with these snakes.

The brown tree snake has had a devastating effect. The snakes eat birds. These snakes have killed off nine kinds of the birds. The snakes can grow to be 10 feet long. They often bite humans. They climb onto power lines and make the electricity go out. This causes millions of dollars in damage.

Scientists have tried many ways to control the number of snakes. They have used snake traps and snake-sniffing dogs. Nothing seemed to work. Nothing， that is， until they found a surprising secret weapon： killer mice.

Scientists found out that there is one easy way to kill brown tree snakes. They could give them a medicine called Tylenol. Even a little bit of Tylenol can kill a brown tree snake. But how would scientists get the tree snakes to eat Tylenol？ They came up with a plan. First， the experts put the medicine into dead mice. Then they attached each mouse to a mini paper parachute （降落傘）. Planes dropped the mice over Guam. The parachutes got caught in the trees. The mice became dinner for the snakes that live there.

So far， research shows that there are fewer snakes because of the mice. The worry is that it may be too late to clear the snakes， but Mr Vice from Guam’s Department of Agriculture says this should not stop the islanders from trying. “Our long-term goal is to kill the snake off completely，” he says.

32. What can we learn about the brown tree snakes from Paragraph 1？

A. They are native to Guam. B. They covered Guam in numbers.

C. They were at risk in the 1940s. D. They have no natural enemies.

33. What does the underlined word “devastating” in Paragraph 2 mean？

A. Magical. B. Increasing. C. Short-term. D. Damaging.

34. What was a more workable way to kill the brown tree snakes？

A. Using snake traps. B. Bringing in their enemies.

C. Putting Tylenol in the trees. D. Letting them eat Tylenol carried by mice.

35. What does Mr Vice think of solving this snake problem？

A. He is proud of it. B. He is hopeful of it.

C. He is doubtful about it. D. He is unconcerned about it.

When I started studying German， it is a struggle. I told my mom that I wanted to give up， and that I would never live in a country where German was speaking. My mom told me that study a language was exercise for the brain; the more I learnt of a language， the less my brain would grow. One day I sudden felt like German was no longer a foreign language. I could not see the world from a different point for view. I could open book and see meanings， not just a sea of word. I finally understood the reason that my mom had encouraged me not to give up.
