3 . On the side of the road in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve (可可西里自然保护区) in Qinghai, you might see a fat wolf (狼). It wags the tail (摇尾巴) in front of the passing cars, hoping to get a meal.
However, the wolf was skin and bones a few months ago. It’s said that the old hungry wolf had to leave other wolves because it was not good at hunting (catching animals for food). But that all changed after a passing driver gave it some snacks to eat and put a video of it online. It made the wolf very popular, and a lot of people came to the reserve to provide it with food.
After that, the wolf started asking passing drivers for snacks. The snacks are high in sugar and salt. The wolf gets fatter and the change makes it look like a pet dog. Later, more wolves joined it.
People care about wild (野生的) animals, but their acts of feeding wild animals can be bad for both animals and themselves. It is hard for people to know if wild animals may hurt them or not, so it is better not to get close to wild animals.

4 . When it comes to clothes, especially for children, why do we buy new ones? Alison Howes, an Australian mom, recently asked herself this question. She realized that there was a need for pre-owned clothes and then started a community clothes exchange. “The cost of living is getting high and we need choices like this,” she said.
Howes’ clothes exchange works on a very simple basis. People receive credit (信用) for bringing clothes they no longer use and the credit can be used to buy other clothes.
Although clothes exchanges aren’t new, there is increasing popularity because of social media. “I like the fact that you can come in and exchange small baby sizes for larger sizes when your kids grow,” said Cassandra, a mother of two children.
Besides, clothes exchanges are also good for the environment. The coming of fast fashion (时尚) means that people can buy more clothes that don’t last as long as they used to. Over 15 tons of unwanted clothes and textiles (纺织品) end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场) in Australia every year. Only 7% of them get recycled, so reusing clothes can cut down on the waste.
Giving pre-worn clothes a second chance will make the life of the textiles last longer and that is what clothes exchanges are all about. Perhaps it will become a start as more and more things will appear on the exchange list and become part of our lives.

B.Because she had lots of pre-owned clothes. |
