Animals are natural resources (自然资源) that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feather, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care? Because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can cause many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks (鹰), the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. However, only 12 countries have passed laws. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

Do you know all birds protect themselves by always listening and watching out for danger? At the smallest sign of it, they will fly away. Birds that cannot fly are often able to swim fast, or run quickly.
Some birds make themselves look bigger and more dangerous by fluffing (动) their feathers. Another important protection for many birds is their colors. Their feathers often have colors that match the things around their nests (巢) . Some birds change colors with the seasons. In the winter they are white to match the snow. In the summer they are brown to match the ground.
People sometimes kill birds without meaning to. When people cut down forests to build houses and factories, they destroy the homes and food of birds. If the birds have nowhere else to go and nothing to eat, they will die out. Pollution may cause some birds to die. Birds that catch fish from polluted water get poison in their bodies. Then they cannot lay healthy eggs. New birds can’t be born.
Now people protect birds by passing the laws to control hunting and pollution, by setting up some special parks where all the birds are safe from hunters, and by teaching people to care about birds rather than kill them.

People say that the dog is man's best friend,but goats(山羊)are also very important. In fact, people have kept goats for thousands of years-longer than we have kept dogs.
Goats are useful to us in many different ways. We can cut the hair from goats and spin(纺纱)it into wool. We can make clothing from the wool. One kind of wool made from goats hair is called cashmere. A cashmere sweater can be very expensive. Another name of cashmere is "soft gold".
Goats also give milk,just like cows do!Did you know that more people around the world drink goat's milk than cow's milk? Goat's milk is easier for babies to drink. Some people put goat's milk on their skin to keep it soft.
In many countries, goats are raised for their meat. In some areas, people just like mutton,so mutton is eaten instead of beef or pork. We also use goatskin to make gloves and boots. goatskin leather is very soft.

It’s important to develop good study habits. Here’s how.
Prepare for homework assignments（任务）
Be sure you understand what the teacher expects. If you’re not sure, ask questions before you leave class. Always write down the assignment and the deadline（截止日期）in your notebook. Don’t just try to remember it!
Take notes
Make a habit of taking good notes during class. Don’t try to write down every word your teacher says. Instead, write down the main ideas you need to remember.
Create a study space
Is it difficult to pay attention when you study? Do you study in a noisy environment? Create a quiet place at home where you can focus on（专注于）study. You must keep yourself away from loud music or the TV. Turn off your phone and computer when you can.
Manage your time
Use your time well. Put a calendar（日历）on your wall and use it to record your assignments. Choose a time that’s good for you to study, for example, when you get home from school or after dinner. And make sure you have enough breaks, for example, after an hour, take a walk.
Develop good personal habits
Let’s face it. If you are tired or feel sick, studying will not be easy. Resting well, getting enough exercise and avoiding unhealthy food are important. You will study better when you’re rested and in good health.

【推荐2】In recent years, a number of Chinese technological innovations(创新) have been making waves around the world. Among them, three stand out. They have made our daily lives more convenient.
High-speed trains
China created its first high-speed railway line in 2008. Since then, the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 percent every year. By 2016, more than 5 billion trips had been taken China’s bullet trains(高铁), according to Xinhua News Agency.
China is currently working on the next-generation(下一代) bullet trains that will have a top speed of 400 kilometers per hour. By 2020, one-fifth of the country’s 150,000 km railway network had been used by high-speed trains. This network linked more than 80 percent of major cities across China, said Xinhua.
Mobile payment
Mobile payment is turning China into a “cashless society” led by third-party payment companies like Alipay. For example, instead of paying by cash, customers now pay for goods by typing a short password into Alipay app on their mobile devices.
Users can also pay their bills through Alipay, such as their water and electricity bills. Alipay also supports cross-border(跨境的) online and in-store payment,which allows users to buy things on international websites and apps.
Online shopping
With around 751 million internet users. China has long been the world’s largest and fastest-growing online shopping market.
Thanks to lower costs and fewer licensing requirements(执照要求), it’s easier sellers to open an online shop in China than: brick-and-mortar shop(实体店)。
It also helped to create jobs. In 2016, online shopping created more than 20 million jobs in rural areas, with over 8. 1 million running their own online shops, said Xinhua.

So music has meaning for everyone in some way or other. Of course, it has special meaning for people like me. We spend our lives playing or writing music.
