Once upon a time, a young man wanted to go to a village on business. Halfway there was a mountain. Before he left home, his family warned (告诫) him to stay calm and climb onto trees if he was in face of beasts (野兽). In this way, the beasts couldn’t do anything to him.
The young man remembered these words and began his trip.He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there. He thought his family’s worries were unnecessary. And he became relaxed as he walked. Just at that moment, he saw a fierce (凶猛的) tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once.
The tiger roared (咆哮) around the tree and even jumped to reach the man. The young man was too afraid to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger. Full of fear, he had to hold the tiger tightly. The tiger thought that must be a giant beast, so it was afraid and started running wildly.
People on the road didn’t know what happened and said, “Look at the young man. He is riding a tiger!” “Cool!” “Superman!”Hearing these words, the young man was very angry. “Why can’t they see I’m suffering a lot? Don’t they understand I am in fear and almost frightened to death?” He said to himself.

【推荐3】The air is thin here in Tibet and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the wide grass in front of us, we can just see a group of beautiful animals. This is why we are here—to watch Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊).
Tibetan antelopes live on the grass of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qinhai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I am shocked by their beauty. I am also reminded of the danger they are in. People hunt for their expensive fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve (保护区). The reserve is a safety home for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred (神圣的) and protecting the wildlife is a way to life. “We are not trying to save the animals,” he says. “In fact, we are trying to save ourselves.”
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The number dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were killing antelopes to make money. Their homes were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save them, the Chinese government put it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The antelope number has risen and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was no longer endangered. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet been gone.
In the fine evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhazi told me. If we really want to save the earth, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to be in harmony (和谐) with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our earth.
