Dogs are often called “man’s best friend” and make ideal pets.     1     most attractive quality of a dog is its faith in its owner. They always greet us when we come home and they will never leave us when we are     2     danger. For example, there was a very sick man and his dog barked and barked until the rescue team     3     (arrive).

Furthermore, dogs are strong animals     4     will protect us. Houses with dogs are considered much     5     (safe) than those with burglar alarms (防盗警报器). Not only will they stop thieves,     6     they will also guard against fire. For example, there was a serious fire and a dog managed     7     (pull) its owner out.

And     8     (final), dogs can be trained by people. Dogs can do a number of things that people can not. For example, they can find drugs, bodies, illegal DVDs and hunt down prisoners with     9     (they) nose. They’re also used to help the elderly and disabled.

To sum up, dogs are really friendly, civilized (文明的) and loyal     10     (partner) .

2 . As we know, Shennongjia Forestry District was added to the United Nations World Heritage list on July 17, 2016. But there are so many important places not yet on this list.     1    .

UNESCO awarded Shennongjia Forestry District this status because it meets two criteria required by the list. It contains a naturally-balanced environment.     2    . It is also one of the rare locations in the world where scientists can observe in real time the ecological and biological processes that occur as the plants and animals develop and evolve.

    3    . Firstly, Shennongjia is apparently one of the most “complete” natural areas in the world. The region rises from about 400 meters to over 3,000 meters above sea level, giving it the name the “Roof of Central China”. Secondly, it has incredible biodiversity. According to official statistics, over 3,000 plant species have been recorded there. This represents more than ten percent of China’s total floral richness.

It is a challenge to look after so many species in freezing cold winter. Scientists walked in heavy snow to supply food to the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey.     4    , the monkey’s population wouldn’t had doubled since the 1980s. Their number reached over 1,300 in 2015 and continued to grow.

But the most impressive aspect of Shennongjia is the local people.     5    . A local village is known for its home-made honey. What is special about the honey is that it is produced by the earliest species of Chinese bee. All of this explains why Shennongjia deserves its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as well as highlighting how understanding, awareness and hard work have contributed towards protecting a unique and wonderful part of our natural world.
