India is the home of tigers. Every year tigers kill many people. The tiger, however, does not always eat them. It likes wild animals better. It is only when the tiger is old or wounded that it eats men. But once it has tasted the flesh of men, it goes on killing men for food. When a man-eater　 as this is discovered, people are afraid. They have to stop working in the fields.

There are many ways to put an end to such dangerous animals. One way is that some men with long guns ride on elephants while other men drive the tiger towards them.

Another way is for a hunter to sit in a tree near the place where a tiger has eaten somebody. If the tiger returns for another meal, the hunter will kill it in the hiding place. A goat may be tied to the tree for the tiger to kill.

In many countries, people celebrate Screen-Free Week. It is on the first week of May every year. People are encouraged to turn off screens during the week.

Supporters of Screen-Free Week say turning off tech devices（设备）is good for kids. According to a study, kids slept better and got better grades when their parents limited（限制）their screen time. Also, some people think Screen-Free Week can help kids develop a good habit. They point out that many kids who took part in the event in the past now spend less time using tech devices.

However, not everyone supports the idea. Some people argue that screen time is OK as long as kids don’t overdo（滥用）it. Also, others say turning off tech devices completely for a week won’ t teach kids how to balance（兼顾）screen time with other activities.

Here’s what two students think:

YES! Kids spend too much time in front of screens. According to a study, kids spend about seven hours a day in front of TVs, computers and other devices. Instead of sitting around playing video games, kids should be more active. They can make art, play sports or hang out with friends and family.

NO! Not all screen time is bad for kids. There are many educational television shows, apps and websites which help kids learn. Besides, it’s important for kids to use tech devices, because many jobs depend on knowing how to use technology. Instead of working on cutting kids’ screen time, parents should help kids learn to use tech devices wisely.

Where have all the tigers gone? India's Sariska Project Tiger Reserve,once home to 26 tigers, is now home to none. The government has ordered the police to find out the truth, and organize a new police group to save the tigers.

Half of the world's tigers live in India. For years, tigers have been disappearing from India's national parks. On Thursday, the first meeting of forest officials was held to make a plan to keep the nation's remaining tigers safe. It is not hard to guess why the tigers are disappearing. "Indian tiger poaching(偷猎）is probably the biggest cause for the disappearing of tigers."said Belinda Wright,the head of the Wildlife Protection Society of India.

It seems difficult to stop tiger poaching. Why? First of all,tigers are so popular and expensive in black market that they become the best choice of the poachers. For example,Poachers can sell a tiger at $50,000. Tiger skin and bones are favoured in Chinese medicine. A single tiger tooth can cost $120. Recently ,a group of poachers admitted killing 12 tigers in Sariska and they got a great amount of money. Even though they were put into prison finally,a lot more people will continue this trade. Second, many poachers use night glasses and powerful guns while forest guards only have their hands. Even if a guard finds a poacher,he can only use a stick. What's worse,the forest guards are paid poorly so few of them are willing to catch the poachers.

I hope that the new plan will stop the poachers and save the endangered animals.

Tornadoes(龙卷风) are one of the worst weather events on earth. Each year, tornadoes kill many people. The storms often carry homes, cars and trees from one place to another. And they can also destroy anything when they pass by.

A tornado comes from a thunderstorm(雷雨) in the sky down to the ground. It is big at the top and small at the bottom.

A tornado appears when winds in different directions meet in the cloud and begin to turn in circles. People can see tornadoes almost everywhere in the world. But most happen from late winter to middle summer. There is a second high season in November. During spring, warm air moves north and mixes with the cold air left from winter. In November, the opposite happens. Cold air moves south and mixes with the warm air left from summer.

Tornadoes always come suddenly. Weather scientists have done something to predict(预测) tornadoes. But the storms often move too fast for people to protect themselves. Last year, tornadoes killed more than one hundred people in United States.

Scientists say the best place to be in is a small room, without windows, in the middle the lowest part of a building when tornadoes come.
