In a lake along the middle of the Yangtze River, a sound breaks the silence (寂静) of water. An animal appears to enjoy the fresh air: It’s a Yangtze finless porpoise (江豚) — a kind of animal in danger in China.

The Yangtze finless porpoise is famous for its beautiful smile. That’s why people love it so much. The Yangtze River is home to the Yangtze finless porpoise.

However, the number of the finless porpoises is becoming smaller and smaller. People take so many fish from the river, so the number of fish in it becomes smaller. It makes the finless porpoises have less food to eat. What’s worse, their living environment isn’t so good as before because of water pollution.

________ There are some reasons. First, Yangtze finless porpoises are important to the environment. They eat fish and help keep the local food chain balanced (保持当地食物链平衡). Second, we’re helping keep the river clean by protecting Yangtze finless porpoises.
