Lions are the top tourist attraction to Kenya and also considered critically endangered. One of the main causes of their death is that people kill them in return for lions attacking their cows. “We put our cows in a small cow shelter at night,” locals said, “and that’s when the trouble would start. Lions would jump in the shelter and kill the cows”.
There have been a lot of efforts to try to protect the lions, but it’s a crisis and everyone is looking for a solution. One idea was land leases(租用), another was lion-proof fences. However, no one even knew that Richard Turere, a 13-year-old Maasai from Kenya, had already come up with something that worked.
One night Richard was walking around with a flashlight and discovered the lions were scared of a moving light. An idea was born. Three weeks and much repairing later, Richard invented a system of lights that flash around the cow shelter, mimicking a human walking around with a flashlight. His system is made from broken flashlight parts and an indicator box from a motorcycle. “The only thing I bought was a solar panel(电池板), which charges a battery that supplies power to the lights at night.” Richard says. He calls the system Lion Lights.
His simple solution was so successful: his neighbors heard about it and wanted Lion Lights, too. He put in the lights for them. From there, the lights spread and are now being used all around Kenya. Someone in India is trying them out for tigers. In Zambia and Tanzania they’re being used as well.
1.Why do local people kill lions?
A. To attract tourists. B. To protect their cows.
C. To sell them for money. D. To scare away large animals.
2.What makes Richard’s idea successful?
A. That the lights will cost nothing.
B. That the system can protect lions.
C. That the lions are afraid of light.
D. That the cows are lawfully killed.
3.What may be the best title of the text?
A. Lion Lights B. Protecting Lions
C. Endangered Cows D. Lion-proof Fences
